Authorize the City Manager to amend the construction contract with CJ Concrete <br />Construction, Inc. by an increase of $1,105,789.50 to perform additional concrete <br />improvements, for a new estimated project delivery cost of $1,700,000. <br />2. Approve the revised Project Cost Analysis increasing project contingencies by <br />$1,105,789.50, for a new estimated project delivery cost of $1,700,000. <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 of damaged sidewalks, curbs, gutters, driveway <br />approaches, and curb ramps. Prioritization of work is focused on areas with the highest <br />concentration of needed repairs, with the intent of providing a proportionate level of <br />service in each of the City’s six council wards. The most recent concrete work was <br />completed in the Riverview West (Ward 1), New Horizons (Ward 2), and West Floral Park <br />(Ward 3) neighborhoods, with upcoming projects slated for Wilshire Square (Ward 4),
