Title
CONSIDER AWARD OF CONTRACT TO SPT SPECIALIZED PIPE TECHNOLOGIES FOR NEWKIRK AVENUE STORM DRAIN LINE EMERGENCY REPAIR IN THE AMOUNT OF $66,900 WITH A CONTINGENCY OF $10,035; AND, APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 20-085 APPROPRIATING $245,000 FROM THE GENERAL FUND'S FUND BALANCE FOR THIS PROJECT AND FOR PARTICIPATION IN A MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT (MOA) WITH NEIGHBORING CITIES RELATED TO THE DOMINGUEZ CHANNEL ESTUARY BATHYMETRY AND SEDIMENT TRANSPORT STUDY (CITY COUNCIL)

The storm drain does not function to its design capacity, which results in flooding during rainfall and may cause severe damage to property and an unsafe condition in the surrounding neighborhood.
It is requested that the City Council award a construction contract to SPT Specialized Pipe Technologies to perform the necessary repair to the Newkirk Avenue storm drain line. The repair, when completed, will permanently alleviate the flooding, avoid partial closure of Newkirk Avenue, and will protect existing private and public infrastructures.
A budget resolution 20-085 is also attached for approval, appropriating $245,000 from Fund Balance of the General Fund for this storm drain project, but also to cover a temporary shortfall in the NPDES budget due to the timing of the invoice received for the Dominguez Channel Estuary Bathymetry and Sediment Transport Study commissioned under the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with various neighboring cities. It is necessary to address the negative balance in the account to proceed with the contract.
