Construction Contract $ 261,456.00 Excel Paving, Inc. Construction Contingency 39,218.00 Total: $ 300,674.00 DISCUSSION: The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) provides Measure M grant funding opportunities to support cleaning urban and storm water runoff associated with transportation corridors. City staff has identified and prioritized several locations within the City where storm water trash & debris interceptors could be installed to improve runoff water quality before it enters the bay or ocean. As part of this effort, staff then applied for and received approval of two OCTA grants to fund the design and construction of two Continuous Deflection Separator (CDS) trash & debris interceptors at two high priority locations. The two CDS structures to be installed as part of this project are on 42" storm drain lines that drain into the open bioswale along Newport Boulevard just south of Industrial Way. The first location is in the embankment adjacent to Newport Boulevard just south of 15th Street. The second location is in the back of Corporation Yard near the transfer station. These two storm drain lines receive heavy street litter flows during storm events. At times, the amount of street litter entering the bioswale is so heavy that the outlet pipe clogs, requiring Municipal Operation workers to clear the pipe to prevent Newport Boulevard from flooding. These CDS Units will capture the street litter before it enters the bioswale and continues to the bay. At 9:00 A.M. on May 23, 2012, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for this project: BIDDER Low Palp Inc, dba Excel Paving, Inc. 2 Nikola Corporation 3 AToM Engineering Construction 4 Beador Construction Company, Inc. 5 Transtar Pipeline, Inc. 6 Bali Construction, Inc. 7 GCI Construction, Inc. 8 Mike Bubalo Construction Co.
