Page 2 of 4 The designed system will provide increased flow capacity to reduce the risk of damage from future storms to the Puri Court area. DISCUSSION This project consists of replacing the existing storm drain pipe with approximately 415 linear feet of 48-inch RCP storm drain and 52 linear feet of variable-sized box culvert, replacing the storm drain manhole and headwall, and performing minor concrete work, including sidewalk, curb and gutter, valley gutter, driveway, landscaping and irrigation, and surface restoration. As Puri Court is a narrow street, it is not feasible to maintain continuous traffic and access during active construction. City staff conducted neighborhood outreach meetings to discuss construction impacts and offered alternatives such as offsite temporary parking, to lessen the impacts. The contractor will be required to maintain a minimum of a clearly delineated 4-foot- wide pedestrian path along the length of Puri Court at all times. Due to the limited width of the public service easement (PSE) that the storm drain is within, temporary construction easements are required to provide enough room to complete the work. City staff worked with several property owners to secure the right of entry for construction and staging. The property owners at 2 Puri Court and 3901 Foothill Road agreed to grant temporary access to portions of their land for construction staging and temporary parking for the residents. A discussion with the property owner at 4 Puri Court is nearing completion and will be in place prior to construction. Consultant/Specialty Services On January 23, 2024, the City approved a task authorization to Pakpour Consulting Group, Inc., under an existing on-call agreement to provide design services for the project. The design fee was paid through the Annual Storm Repair/Replacement Project, CIP No. 24415. Pakpour Consulting Group will provide additional engineering and construction support services to review shop drawings and field design support and respond to requests for information under an existing on-call agreement with the City. The task authorization will be based on time and materials for construction support services for an estimated not-to-exceed cost of $55,000. Geocon Consultants will provide materials testing services under an existing on-call agreement with the City. These services include required specialty testing of the materials for the backfill and compaction of the trench backfill associated with the pipeline installation. The time and materials services are estimated to cost $21,000. Bids Sealed bids for this project were opened on March 26, 2025. Nine bids were received, ranging from $1,048,777 to $1,834,000, compared with the Engineer’s Estimate of $1.3 million (see Attachment 1). The lowest responsible bid was received from DPI, Inc. of Livermore, California, in the amount of $1,048,777, which is approximately 19 percent lower than the Engineer’s Estimate. Staff reviewed the lowest bidder’s bid prices and deemed them to be reasonable and acceptable. Past work performed by DPI, Inc. was verified to be satisfactory. Staff recommends the City Council award the construction contract to DPI, Inc. Page 177 of 223
