City Council

E. Amendment to the Mission Drive Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon System Contract —\nProject No. 24013\nOn March 12, 2024, the City Council approved a one- year construction contract with\nCalpromax Engineering, Inc., for the Mission Drive Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon\nSystem Project — Project No. 24013. This project involves furnishing and installing\na pedestrian hybrid beacon system, including the installation of traffic signal poles,\ncommunication conduits, a controller cabinet, the removal and replacement of\nroadway pavement, and the signing and striping of the crosswalk that spans Mission\nDrive. However, the project' s completion has been delayed due to long -lead time\nitems such as the procurement and preparation of timing sheets by Los Angeles\nCounty Public Works.\nAll major signal components are now installed. The next phase involves Southern\nCalifornia Edison ( SCE) energizing the service pedestal to test and confirm the\nhybrid beacon system' s functionality. The contract with Calpromax Engineering,\nInc., expires on March 12, 2025. To ensure project completion, staff is requesting a\nfour -month contract extension. Although most heavy construction is complete, the\nextension allows SCE, who often provides longer -than -expected wait times for\nenergization, and staff to address punch -list items and close out the project.\nRecommendation: That the City Council authorize the City Manager to sign and\nexecute an amendment to the construction contract with Calpromax Engineering,\nInc., for the Mission Drive Pedestrian Hybrid Beacon System Project to extend the\ncontract through July 11, 2025.
