City Council

5. APPROVE SUPPLEMENTAL APPROPRIATION FOR THE EL CAMINO REAL WATER MAIN RELOCATION PROJECT The City has partnered with the Orange County Transportation Authority and Caltrans to complete the El Camino Water Main Relocation Project which is necessary for improvements to the I-5 and Red Hill Avenue exit ramp. Additional scope of work has been requested by the partner agencies and staff have negotiated a contract change order in the amount of $96,555.30 with G&A Nelos Construction, Inc., which requires additional budget appropriation and City Council approval. The full amount of all authorized change orders will be reimbursed to the City by Orange County Transportation Authority. Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Approve a negotiated contract change order in the amount of $96,555.30 with G&A Nelos Construction, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract change order on behalf of the City; and 2. Appropriate $96,555.30 from Water Capital Fund. Fiscal Impact: On June 17, 2025, the City Council awarded a construction contract to G&A Nelos Construction, Inc. in the amount of $393,399.10 for the El Camino Water Main Relocation Project. This action will approve a negotiated change order and appropriate $96,555.30 from the Water Capital Fund to cover the cost of additional work requested by the partner agencies. The negotiated change order is eligible for reimbursement via Utility Agreement COT-56, between the City of Tustin and the Orange County Transportation Authority which authorizes the full reimbursement for final design and all construction costs, minus an accrued depreciation credit of $2,650.
