<br />and installation of 947 linear feet of new fencing along the south side of <br />Stoneridge Drive easterly of Val Vista Park. <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />This project provides for clearing and grubbing, the removal and disposal of existing fence <br />and associated footings, installation of temporary fencing for thirteen residences abutting the <br />existing fence, irrigation system and landscaping restoration where necessary, and installation <br />of 947 linear feet of new fencing. The existing fence was originally constructed with the <br />Stoneridge Drive interchange and after previous repairs by the City, is now beyond further <br />repair. The replacement fence consists of a low retaining section (approximately 2 feet in <br />height) to support dirt on the residence side of the fence, with a fence height of 6 feet. On the <br />Zone 7 channel and Stoneridge Drive side, the fence height will be 8 feet. The fence is <br />constructed with fence boards on both sides of the vertical fence posts to reduce traffic noise <br />to the existing homes. <br /> <br />Sealed bids for this project were opened on November 8, 2006. Two bids were received, in <br />the amounts of $228,982 and $352,388.50, as compared to the engineer's estimate for the <br />project of $245,449 (see attached Bid Summary). Staff is recommending award of contract to <br />the lowest responsible bidder, SRP Company, in the amount of $228,982. All bid documents <br />from SRP Company were found to be in order, with past work performed by the contractor <br />verified to be satisfactory. <br /> <br />BUDGET <br /> <br />Staff is recommending a construction contingency of 20% for this project. In several <br />locations, the residential backyards abutting the existing fence have trees, shrubs and vines in <br />very close proximity to the fence, and in some instances have trees and vines overgrowing the <br />fence. Additional work, which is difficult to estimate prior to the start of the project, may be <br />required to save existing trees and landscaping. <br /> <br />Funding: <br /> <br />Sound Wall Replacement, CIP No. 058018, FY 05-06 <br /> <br />$360,000 <br /> <br />Estimated Expenditures <br /> <br />Construction Contract <br />Contingency (20 % ) <br />Total <br /> <br />SR 06:266 <br />Page 2 of3 <br /> <br />$228,982 <br />$45,796 <br />$274,778 <br />
