RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends the City Council (1) accept the work performed by All American Asphalt.; (2) authorize filing a Notice of Completion; and (3) authorize the release of the retention funds in the amount of $11,380.46 after the expiration of the 35-day lien period, for the construction of Duquesne Avenue Slurry Seal and Striping Project, PS-007.
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Duquesne Avenue Slurry Seal and Striping Project installed Type 2 Rubberized Emulsion Aggregate Slurry (REAS) on Duquesne Avenue from Culver Boulevard to the bridge at Ballona Creek. The purpose of the slurry is to replenish the oils in the pavement which have worn away and prolong the structural integrity of the street. Additionally, the street was restriped from Lucerne Avenue to Washington Boulevard, adding bike lanes on each side of the street along with green pavement markings at strategic locations.
On September 12, 2016 the City Council awarded the construction contract to the lowest bidder, All American Asphalt (AAA) in the adjusted amount of $213,471.20.
Due to wet weather conditions, the slurry seal operation was postponed to the summer of 2017. AAA successfully completed the project. High visibility crosswalks were added as an extra work change order at Duquesne Avenue/Culver Boulevard and at Duquesne Avenue/Washington Boulevard. A City-owned parking lot at Robertson/Willat/Hoke was also resurfaced as extra work change order item. The final contract amount is $227,609.35.
Construction management was conducted by Public Works engineering staff and inspection service was provided by the Nickerson Company through the City Council’s pre-approved on-call consultant list.
