The disparity between the estimate and the actual bid prices reflect a more favorable construction market. The low bidder, Nobest, possesses a California State Contractors License Classification "A" as required by the project specifications. A check of Nobest's references indicates satisfactory completion of similar projects for other public agencies and the City of Newport Beach. Given the favorable project unit prices by Nobest, staff recommends Council to establish a fifteen percent (15 %) contract contingency to be included in the contract award, totaling $136,050.00. Those added funds will provide an opportunity for the City to take advantage of the low unit prices to perform additional concrete replacement in the project limits. The work necessary for the completion of this contract consists of removing existing asphalt and concrete alleys and constructing new concrete alleys, adjusting utilities to grade and performing other appurtenant and incidental items of work as required. The alley replacement included in this contract is the final work effort for the Assessment District 99 Underground Utility District. In addition, asphalt concrete pavement grind and overlay will be placed on 19th Street from Balboa Boulevard to the Newport Channel; concrete removal and replacement will occur on streets from 14th Street to 20th Street between Balboa Boulevard and Ocean Front sidewalk. The work also includes constructing an 8 -in thick concrete containment pad at the City of Newport Beach's Oil and Gas Facility in West Newport for compliance with the City's Spill Control and Countermeasure Plan (SPCC). This containment facility is required by the EPA to prevent the spill of crude oil from contaminating navigable waters such as the canal north of Newport Shores community when transferring crude oil from the facility to tanker transport trucks. Pursuant to the Contract Specifications, the Contractor will have 100 consecutive working days to complete the work. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines. This exemption covers the minor alteration of existing public facilities with negligible expansion. PUBLIC NOTICE The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the City's official publication and in construction industry publications. Affected residents and businesses will be notified prior to the start of the project.
