SUBJECT:
Title
CONSIDER AN AWARD OF A CONTRACT SERVICES AGREEMENT TO HZS ENGINEERING, INC. FOR PROJECT NO. 1783: DELFORD AVENUE TO 226TH PLACE CULVERT REPLACEMENT
Body
I. SUMMARY
Over the past several years, Delford Avenue, north of 228th Street, has historically had poor drainage performance during rain. A rectangular culvert drains the street of Delford Avenue to 226th Place, traversing through a city-owned easement under private property. Earlier in the year, City of Carson (City) staff investigated the culvert and determined that major structural damage had occurred within the culvert, with root damage causing approximately 95% occlusion mid-way through the culvert, and a partial structural collapse causing approximately 50% occlusion near the outlet at 226th Place. Staff determined that the best call to action is to reconstruct the culvert, restoring performance and minimizing potential flooding.
On October 19, 2023, the City issued Invitation for Bids (IFB) No. 23-21 for the reconstruction of the City-owned culvert between Delford Avenue and 226th Place. Two bids were received, and staff determined HZS Engineering, Inc. to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder with a total bid in the amount of $267,700.00 (Exhibit No. 1). Staff is requesting that the City Council award a Contract Services Agreement to HZS Engineering, Inc., to reconstruct the existing culvert for an amount not to exceed $267,700.00. (Exhibit No. 2). The total cost of the project will be $294,470.00 which includes a 10% contingency.
Public Works is requesting the City Council to add Project No. 1783 to the 5-Year Capital Improvement Projects List. Funding will be allocated from the CIP/General Fund account 101-99-999-904-6004.
