end
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Approval of this recommendation would award a two-year agreement to C J Concrete Construction, Inc. to provide repair services for damaged sidewalks and other concrete infrastructure such as curbs and gutters, driveway approaches, and curb ramps. The total cost for these as-needed services would not exceed $580,000.
BACKGROUND
The Public Works Department periodically inspects the 6.7 million square feet of sidewalks throughout Redondo Beach to identify faults that could present trip hazards for pedestrians and expose the City to liability. A majority of faults can be eliminated by grinding away raised sections, or installing small concrete ramps, to smooth out transition areas. However, when faults in sections of sidewalk, curb and gutter, driveway approaches, and curb ramps exceed one and a half inches, they can’t be mitigated by basic grinding and ramping and instead require removal and replacement. While the Public Works Department can perform this service in-house, staffing resources are limited to accomplish extensive and systematic concrete removal and replacement. As such, staff recommends the City continue to contract sidewalk replacement services with an outside vendor on an on-call basis to compliment the work of the City’s regular maintenance crews. This allows City resources to remain agile and address urgent tasks as they present themselves.
C J Concrete Construction, Inc. of Santa Fe Springs, CA has proposed to provide the desired services for a total cost not to exceed $580,000. The company specializes in sidewalk replacement work and has extensive experience providing similar services for cities throughout the greater Los Angeles area. They have provided reliable, high-quality, and affordable services for the City since 2022. All work would be directed by the Public Works Department. In addition to concrete replacements throughout the City, $80,000 would be dedicated to concrete repairs at the Fleet and Street Maintenance areas of the City Yard, and $100,000 would be dedicated to install additional speed tables that were recently approved by the Council on Avenida Del Norte and Julia Court.
The pricing proposed by C J Concrete Construction, Inc. matches the unit pricing contained in a contract recently awarded to the company by the City of Santa Ana through a competitive bidding process, which satisfies the City’s purchasing requirements.
COORDINATION
The Public Works Department prepared the administrative report and the City Attorney’s Office prepared the proposed Agreement.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost to provide on-call sidewalk replacement services will not exceed $580,000 for the two-year term. Funding for the Agreement is available in the Sidewalk Improvements and Repairs Project ($400,000) account, the Public Works Facility Infrastructure Project ($80,000) account, and the Traffic Calming Project ($100,000) account.
