Amend Agreement with California Barricade Rentals for Provision, Installation, and Removal of Traffic Barricades December 5, 2017 Page 2 In June, 2017, shortly after the original agreement was executed, traffic control services on the First Street Bridge over the Santa Ana River were needed in response to a second fire under the bridge. (The first fire occurred in December 2016.) The June fire resulted in damage to the bridge structure — specifically the support beams. Consequently, as a safety precaution and as recommended by a bridge structural engineer, westbound traffic lanes on First Street were closed to reduce the traffic loads and vibrations on the bridge. The lanes need to remain closed until all structural testing and repairs are completed. Public Works staff anticipates completion of the testing and related repairs by January 2018. Under these emergency conditions, California Barricades was contracted to put the required traffic control measures in place on the First Street Bridge and continues to provide this service. To maintain the lane closures and ensure traffic safety, staff recommends amending the first year of the existing agreement to include the Public Works services and increasing the compensation by $50,000 through December 31, 2017. The two one-year renewal options will remain as originally awarded. STRATEGIC PLAN ALIGNMENT Approval of this item supports the City's efforts to meet Goal #6 - Community Facilities & Infrastructure, Objective #1 (establish and maintain a Community Investment Plan for all City assets), Strategy C (invest resources and technology to extend the service life of existing infrastructure to protect the City's investment and support a high quality of life standard).
