BACKGROUND On December 20, 2016, Council awarded the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, Murphy Industrial Coatings, Inc. in the amount of$1,122,150. In addition, the City Council awarded a contract to Swinerton Management & Consulting (SMC) and Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc. (BCA) to provide construction support services. DISCUSSION The project consisted of cleaning and painting all steel surfaces of the existing bridge, bridge guardrail, walkway, walkway handrail, water line and 4-inch gas line casing, including utility straps and supports. The existing paint contained lead and was peeling away from the bridge structure. A single lane of traffic was controlled by temporary traffic signals during construction. The project is complete and the bridge is open for use. Staff recommends acceptance of the project. Budget Project expenditures total $1,369,579 include the design, construction contract, change orders and consultant support services as outlined in Attachment 1. The final construction contract cost, including $20,428 in change orders, is $1,142,578. The majority of the change orders were associated with additional traffic control and additional work required of the City contractor by PG&E in order to work near the PG&E power lines. The project was funded by a federal grant through the Bridge Preventative Maintenance Program administered by Caltrans in which 88.53% of eligible project costs are reimbursable. The cost of design totaled $126,046 and the cost of construction totaled $1,243,533. The total anticipated reimbursement from the Federal grant is $1,212,488 with a local match of$157,091. Once the final invoices are paid, staff will complete the application for the grant reimbursement. SMC was awarded a task authorization under the City's on-call contract for $148,995 to provide a full-time inspector for the project. The inspection services are complete; however, SMC continues to work on the final Caltrans paperwork for the project closeout. As of November 2017, SMC has expended $90,975 and the total anticipated expenditures are $92,975 as it is anticipated that SMC will bill an additional $2,000 for project closeout work. Staff recommends leaving $2,000 in the project balance in order to pay for the remaining invoices. Upon payment of the final invoice, the remaining funds will be transferred to the fund balance. BCA was awarded a task authorization under the City's on-call contract for$13,900 to provide construction support services and shop drawing reviews. The work under the task authorization is complete; BCA has expended $7,491. Page 2 of 3
