15th Street and W. Balboa Boulevard between 12th and 21St Streets is a highly visible
and popular travelway for residents and visitors on their way to Balboa Village,
Peninsula Point as well as one of the many access points to both the Ocean and Bay
beaches. Furthermore, these streets proximity to the adjacent churches, businesses,
elementary school, and the new Marina Park makes this location a highly visited area
that represents one of the many views of Newport Beach. Considering the prime
location and heavy usage by residents and visitors, and that the street infrastructure is
rather aged and stark in its existing state, the former West Newport Beach Citizens
Advisory Panel identified this area as a priority for revitalization.
The 15th Street/Balboa Boulevard Revitalization project was designed to meet the
community's goal of replacing street pavement, sidewalks, a traffic signal, improving
parking and circulation, as well as incorporating landscaping and other design elements
into both roadways to improve the aesthetic appearance of the neighborhood.

The low bid amount is approximately 16 percent below the Engineer's Estimate of
$3,300,000. The low bidder, GMC Engineering (GMC), possesses a California State
Contractors License Classification "A" as required by the project specifications. GMC
has successfully completed similar projects in the City, and comes with satisfactory
references from other public agencies.
Pursuant to the Contract Specifications, the Contractor will have one hundred ten (110)
consecutive working days to complete the work.
Additionally, given the age and condition of the infrastructure in the area, and that the
City received a favorable bid item cost, staff is recommending that Council approve a
15% contingency. This additional amount may be used to address any unforeseen
conditions as well as provide an opportunity to address additional items within or near
the project that need rehabilitation/replacement that were not included in the original
scope of work.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and
Section 15303 (New Construction or Conversion of Small Structures) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3. The action will lead to
the modification and construction of landscape and hardscape improvements primarily
within existing raised medians and parkways in W. Balboa Boulevard. Additionally, a
few new small raised landscaped median islands will be introduced along 15th Street.
The construction of the project is wholly within existing public rights-of-way and will not
require the expansion or acquisition of additional rights-of-way. The overall project will
result in negligible or no expansion of existing roadways and the capacity of the existing
roadways or number of parking spaces will not be diminished.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item). The Notice Inviting Bids was
advertised in the City's official publication and in construction industry publications.
