Upcoming projects are planned <br />for Morning Sunwood (Ward 1), Pico-Lowell (Ward 2), Riverview (Ward 3), Valley Adams <br />(Ward 4), Artesia-Pilar (Ward 5) and Delhi (Ward 6) neighborhoods, and other areas with <br />the highest concentration of needed repairs. <br />Staff recommends amending the construction contract with CJ Concrete Construction, <br />Inc. to increase the contract capacity by $2,000,000, for a new estimated project delivery <br />cost of $3,700,000, in order to capitalize on the favorable pricing of the existing contract <br />and complete these concrete repair projects promptly. CJ Concrete Construction, Inc. has <br />demonstrated a high level of professionalism and commitment to quality work as part of <br />this contract. <br />CJ Concrete Construction’s history of performing quality work for the City dates back to <br />2010 and includes an Omnibus project (Project 10-6716), the Thornton Park Water Main <br />Improvements project (Project 15-6448), and most recently, in 2022, on-going sidewalk <br />improvements in City neighborhoods. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />In accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act, the recommended actions <br />are exempt from further review. Categorical Exemption Environmental Review No. ER- <br />2021-99 was filed for the project. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds in the amount of $1,200,000 were approved and appropriated in FY 2021-22. Of <br />that, $594,210.50 has already been expended leaving a balance of $605,789.50 available <br />for additional concrete improvements. <br />On January 18, 2022, during the General Fund First Quarter Budget Update presentation, <br />City Council authorized one-time funding of $500,000 for FY 2021-22 to complete <br />additional concrete repair projects and improve service levels for the public.
