SUMMARY:

 

Approval of Amendment No. 2 to renew the contract for Asphalt Concrete Pavement Maintenance Services will support maintenance of pavement for road and flood control facilities Countywide and enhance public safety.

 

 


 

 

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:

 

As part of the annual roadway maintenance program, OC Public Works conducts recurring inspections of all County of Orange (County) maintained roads and investigates citizen's requests for the maintenance of potholes and road damage. OC Public Works reviews, prioritizes and packages the resulting work orders to include several locations in the same geographic areas for road routine maintenance actions. The work to be performed consists of minor road maintenance, that may include removal and replacement of isolated areas of deteriorated pavement, filling potholes, patching low spots, paving and/or installing road shoulders and roadside ditches, crack sealing, minor slurry sealing and/or fog sealing of asphalt concrete curbs. Work locations for this contract renewal include County facility maintenance projects, public roads within the unincorporated portions of Orange County, flood control property and public roads within the incorporated cities for which the County is under contract to perform roadway maintenance services.

 

On February 20, 2020, OC Public Works issued an Invitation for Bids for Asphalt Concrete Pavement Maintenance Services (Services) on the County online bidding system. The Orange County Preference Policy (OCPP) was applicable and incorporated into this solicitation; however, no OCPP qualified proposals were submitted. The lowest responsive, responsible bidders, Ben’s Asphalt, Inc. and Hardy & Harper, Inc., were qualified to perform the needed Services. Prior Board of Supervisors (Board) action is summarized in the table below.

The proposed action is still consistent with this determination.

Fund 400, OC Flood
