Authorize the City Manager to approve the third amendment to the construction <br />contract with CJ Concrete Construction, Inc., by an increase of $1,000,000, to <br />perform additional concrete improvements through the end of project completion, for <br />a new estimated project delivery cost of $4,700,000. <br />2. Approve the revised Project Cost Analysis increasing construction administration, <br />inspection, and testing by $50,000 and the project contingencies by $950,000, for a <br />new estimated project delivery cost of $4,700,000. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Public Works Agency’s Maintenance Services Division is responsible for maintaining <br />400 miles of streets and 800 miles of sidewalks located within the City of Santa Ana. Staff <br />evaluates the condition of damaged sidewalks, curbs, gutters, and driveways to identify <br />uneven surfaces and cracks that may pose a risk to pedestrians. The goal is to improve <br />safe walking accessibility for pedestrians and increase active modes of transportation, <br />such as walking and biking. Additionally, this reduces the potential of liability claims and <br />assists in complying with regulations set forth by the American with Disabilities Act. <br />Procedures to mitigate these conditions include offset grinding, temporary asphalt <br />ramping, and removal/replacement of damaged concrete areas. <br />On November 16, 2021, the City Council awarded a contract to CJ Concrete Construction, <br />Inc., for various concrete repair projects involving the repair of damaged sidewalks, curbs, <br />gutters, driveway approaches, and curb ramps. Prioritization of work is focused on areas <br />with the highest concentration of needed repairs (Exhibit 1). Projects have been <br />completed or are underway in each of the City’s six wards, including the Riverview West
