K. Strathmore Avenue and Virginia Street Roadway Rehabilitation — Project No. 21851 Award of Construction Contract In April 2024 roadway depressions along Strathmore Avenue and Virginia Street were reported to the Public Works Engineering Division. Staff conducted a comprehensive review of nearby utilities with the aim of determining the cause of the roadway depressions. The utility agencies conducted reviews of their underground utilities and confirmed that there were no water leaks, sewer leaks, or storm drain deficiencies that could be causing the roadway depressions. Staff then initiated a Geotechnical review of the roadway at the intersection of Strathmore Avenue and Virginia Street to fully understand the cause of the depressions. The result of the Geotechnical report concluded that the roadway depressions can be attributed to poor trench compaction when a storm drain was installed along Virginia Street onto Strathmore Avenue in 2007. Based on the recommendations provided in the Geotechnical report, Staff prepared construction bid documents that specify the removal of loose backfill material to a depth of 4 feet, this repair is crucial to ensure proper soil compaction along the roadway segment to prevent the development of roadway depressions that may occur once repairs are completed. The project was not included as a part of the City' s Fiscal Year 2024- 25 Capital Improvement Program, however, due to the nature of the roadway conditions potentially becoming worse during the upcoming wet season, Staff is recommending a new appropriation for the project in the amount of $273, 480. 00 for this critical roadway repair. On December 4, 2024, the City received five ( 5) bids. Based on staff' s comprehensive bid analysis, the bid submitted by Terra Pave, Inc. in the amount of $ 227, 900. 00, is determined to be the lowest responsive bid. Recommendation: That the City Council take the following actions: 1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Strathmore Avenue and Virginia Street Roadway Rehabilitation - Project No. 21851; and 2. Authorize the City Manager to execute a construction contract with Terra Pave, Inc. in the amount of $ 227, 900. 00. In addition, authorize an amount of 45, 580. 00 ( 20% of base bid) to include contingency to cover the cost of unforeseen construction expenses and project management for a total construction budget of $273, 480. 00 and adopt Resolution No. 2024- 70, entitled: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROSEMEAD, CALIFORNIA, TO AMEND THE FISCAL YEAR 2024- 25 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM BUDGET AND APPROPRIATE NEW FUNDS FOR THE STRATHMORE AVENUE AND VIRGINIA STREET ROADWAY REHABILITATION ( PROJECT NO. 2185 1)
