RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and
the Clerk of the Council to execute an amendment to the contract with
Hardy and Harper Inc. increasing the contract for pothole repairs by
$100,000 for a total contract not to exceed amount of $425,000.
DISCUSSION
Last year the City Council awarded a contract totaling $325,000 for
annual pothole repair to Hardy & Harper, Inc., a Santa Ana vendor. This
contract included filling potholes with asphalt and repairing sidewalks.
The record-breaking rains, which started late last year and continued
through February, have caused a marked increase in the number of
potholes. Prior to the storms, the contactor filled an average of 1,500
potholes each month. During January, February and March of this year, an
average of 3,900 potholes have been filled each month. This
monthly figure is expected to continue for the remainder of the fiscal
year until the subsoil, which supports the roadway, has completely dried.
To continue repairing potholes an increase in the pothole maintenance
contract with Hardy and Harper Inc. is required, increasing the total
contract amount by $100,000, for a total contract amount not to exceed
$425,000.
