City Council

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