The low bidder, Towo Enterprise, Inc., possesses a California State Contractor's License Classification "A", as required by the project specifications. A review of references for Towo Enterprise, Inc. shows satisfactory completion of similar contracts for the City and other municipalities. Towo Enterprise, Inc. successfully completed the City's Concrete Replacement Program for FY 2022-23. The low bid was 4.8% below the Engineer's Estimate of $1,667,000. The minor difference between the low bid and the Engineer's Estimate was primarily attributed to a slight overestimation of prices for concrete materials. The proposed project includes replacing deteriorated concrete sidewalks, driveways, curbs, gutters, and access ramps. This program precedes the annual street pavement repair and slurry seal programs, which are both scheduled to start in early 2025. This year's project focuses on concrete improvements in the Spyglass Hill, Newport Hills, Harbor View, and Seawind neighborhoods, as well as various City parks in the nearby area. Pursuant to the contract specifications, the contractor will have 80 consecutive working days to complete the work. Work is scheduled to start in December 2024. The project plans and specifications will be available for review at the November 19, 2024 City Council meeting or upon request.

This program funds a variety of capital repair and maintenance projects to keep City parks in good condition. The PMMP is funded through the General Fund.
