FROM: GEOFF ENGLISH, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR

SURFACE REPAIRS AND BRISCO ROAD ASPHALT OVERLAY: EL
CAMINO REAL TO WEST BRANCH STREET PROJECT, PW 2015-06
DATE: DECEMBER 8, 2015
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended the Council:
1. Approve additional expenses in the amount of $29,685 for additional work on the
2015 Street Repair project;
2. Accept the project improvements as constructed by R. Burke Corporation in
accordance with the plans and specifications for the 2015 Street Surface Repairs
and Brisco Road Asphalt Overlay project;
3. Direct staff to file a Notice of Completion; and
4. Authorize release of the retention, thirty-five (35) days after the Notice of
Completion has been recorded, if no liens have been filed.
IMPACT ON FINANCIAL AND PERSONNEL RESOURCES:
The FY 2015-16 Capital Improvement Program Budget includes $1,023,213 for the
City’s overall Pavement Management Program. The contractor's final construction cost
for the 2015 Street Surface Repairs project is $706,389.71 of which $36,042.64 is
attributable to the Paulding Wall Project, bringing the final construction costs for the
Pavement Management Program to $670,347.07. No additional appropriation is
necessary as the current budget allocations are sufficient to cover all project costs for
the subject project. The recommended action will not result in any impact on staff
resources.

BACKGROUND:
On June 23, 2015, the City Council awarded a construction contract to R. Burke
Corporation in the amount of $524,660 and approved $52,466 for unanticipated costs
during the construction phase of the 2015 Street Repair project. The work included road
surface repairs that involved the grinding and repaving of isolated pavement failures.
During the project, substantially more failed pavement sections were encountered on
streets proposed for resurfacing, particular on Fair Oaks Avenue, which required
additional grinding and repaving work. The additional work exceeded the 10% project
contingency funds approved by the City Council so in response on October 13, 2015,
staff requested a Change Order in the amount of $49,345 to cover the additional street
repair work. At the same time, staff requested the City Council approve an additional
change order of $40,000 for paving and drainage improvement for the Paulding Wall
project and $10,234 for paving repair work on Brisco Road under the Highway 101
overpass bringing the amount available for the project to $676,705.
ANALYSIS OF ISSUES:
The street repair work had been largely completed at the time of the October 13, 2015
Council meeting. However, further work was determined as necessary which exceeded
the total amount of project contingency funds approved by Council. The total amount of
work completed was $706,389.71 which exceeded the available amount $676,705 by

$29,684.71. To expedite the repairs and utilize R. Burke Corporation already working
under contract with the City, staff directed the repairs on a time and materials basis as
the work was within the total budget of the Pavement Management Project account.
The preliminary estimate of the extra work calculated by staff and presented at the
October 13, 2015 City Council meeting was based on preliminary estimates by the staff
at the time. Upon completion of the work performed and a final review and
reconciliation of the contractors final invoicing, it was determined that the staff directed
project expenses by R. Burke Corporation exceeded this preliminary estimate by
$29,685. At this time, the contractor has completed all work in accordance with the
approved plans and specifications and there are no outstanding issues. A final
payment reconciliation has been reviewed and approved by the contractor and City
staff.
ADVANTAGES:
The project is complete and provides a stable surface for the slurry seal membranes
that were applied as part of the 2015 Street Resurfacing project. The repairs reduced
project costs by addressing areas with the most significant repairs needed prior to the
slurry seal application, which reduced the need for more costly reconstruction projects.
DISADVANTAGES:
The disadvantage of accepting the improvements would be if subsequent deficiencies in
the work are identified. However, the contract documents include a one-year warranty
period for the contractor to address any construction defects that may arise.
ALTERNATIVES:
The following alternatives are provided for the Council’s consideration:
- Approve staff's recommendations to accept the 2015 Street Surface Repairs and
Brisco Road Asphalt Overlay project;
- Do not accept the 2015 Street Surface Repairs and Brisco Road Asphalt Overlay
project;
- Accept the 2015 Street Surface Repairs and Brisco Road Asphalt Overlay project
but do not authorize release of retention; or
- Provide direction to staff.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The project is categorically exempt from CEQA pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section
15301(c).
