SUMMARY:
Award of this contract to KLM Construction, Inc. in the amount of $883,855 will provide improved public safety and extended service life for Santiago Canyon Road Bridge SC-9.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
Santiago Canyon Road Bridge SC-9 was built in 1963 and is located in the rural Silverado Canyon area of unincorporated Orange County, approximately 0.3 miles west of Silverado Canyon Road. On January 15, 2008, your Board approved the Plans and Special Provisions and authorized the Clerk of the Board to advertise for bids for this project, which will replace the bridge's outdated metal beam guard railing with concrete barriers that meet current highway safety standards. The bridge deck will be widened by approximately four feet on both sides to accommodate the new concrete barriers and five foot wide bicycle lanes in each direction. The project also includes seismic retrofitting of the existing structure with steel column casings and extension of the footings.
Bid proposals for the subject project were opened on February 13, 2008. A summary of bids received (including the Engineer's Estimate) is as follows:

The low bid for this project is approximately 22 percent below the Engineer's Estimate. Resources and Development Management Department (RDMD) Public Works has evaluated both the bids and the estimate and concludes that the difference is due, in large part, to the present highly competitive public works bidding environment resulting from the recent downturn in residential construction. No errors or omissions were found in the plans and specifications and several other bids from responsible contractors were also well below the estimate. RDMD/Public Works concludes that the low bid is fair and reasonable for the work to be done and not unrealistic.
Compliance with CEQA: On January 15, 2008, Final Negative Declaration No. IP03-042, previously approved by the Board on August 22, 2006, was found adequate to satisfy the requirements of CEQA and was approved for the subject project.
