Recommendation By Minute Motion: 1.

Funds are available in Account No. 4514341-4400100, Capital Bond Funds for the Alessandro Alley Improvements, and the Committed CIP Reserve Fund if the actions above are approved. Strategic Plan The proposed action will further the goals of the Strategic Plan by providing a safe, efficient, and reliable transportation system for residents and visitors. It will also meet the Economic Development goals of the Strategic Plan by revitalizing the Highway 111 corridor. Background Analysis The rehabilitation of the Alessandro Alley has been a goal of the City for many years. The project as originally envisioned would stretch from the east side of the Walgreens property on Monterey Avenue to Las Palmas Avenue. The project was split into two phases because a development opportunity emerged with several of the City -owned lots on the west end of the project. Therefore, the limits of Phase I of the Alessandro Alley Improvements will extend from Las Palmas Avenue to a point approximately 220' east of San Marcos Avenue. April 16, 2020 - Staff Report Award Contract No. C38790 to Leonida Builders, Inc. for the Alessandro Alley Project Page 2 of 3 The project will reconstruct the asphalt pavement, provide drainage improvements, create 50 new parking spaces on the north side of the alley, and relocate the parking area for the apartments adjacent to the housing units. In addition, fagade enhancements will be constructed at the apartment complex to improve the appearance. Block walls and landscaping improvements will be constructed to create separation between the alley and the residential properties to the north. A goal of the improvements is to bring the transportation facilities up to the City's standards and to encourage improvements or redevelopment of the commercial properties along the alley. The proposed improvements are intended to compliment the San Pablo Avenue corridor improvements (currently under construction) by transforming the roadway into a new point of access for the businesses. The Project was properly advertised for bid, and on December 20, 2019, sealed bids were received and opened by the Office of the City Clerk with the following results: j Contractor Leonida Builders, Inc. Granite Construction Company Location Santa Clarita, CA Indio, CA Bid Amount $1,429,520.00 $2,061,602.00 Upon reviewing the bid submitted by the apparent low bidder, an irregularity was found. A mathematical error was made by the contractor in the calculation of the total base bid amount causing the bid to be understated by $15,500. When all the line items are properly added. the actual base bid total is $1,445,020. The City Attorney has indicated that the irregularity may be waived by the City Council. Per an agreement (Contract No. C31910) the City has with the Coachella Valley Water District (CVWD), all paving projects include an alternate bid item to raise the valves and manholes to the new grade on behalf of CVWD. CVWD has opted to perform the work with their own contractor. Therefore, the bid alternate will not be included in the contract amount. Presenting this construction contract to the City Council for award has been delayed to allow the City staff to complete right-of-way acquisition for the Project. The acquisition is in its final stage and will be completed prior to construction on the subject parcel. While the City staff have been completing the acquisition of the final right-of-way for the Project, the COVID-19 health emergency is resulting in substantial disruption of normal business activities, which has caused the City staff to reassess the viability of planned projects. Following review of the project and in consideration of its fiscal viability, Staff is recommending that the project be advanced to construction based on agreements the City entered into when the project was initiated. The City has entered into agreements with property owners along the north side of the alley where, in exchange for right-of-way, the City agreed to make certain improvements to the functionality and appearance of the area. These improvements are primarily in the form of the block walls, the relocation of the parking area for the apartment complex, and landscape improvements.- The agreements represent an obligation for the City to make these improvements. April 16, 2020 - Staff Report Award Contract No. C38790 to Leonida Builders, Inc. for the Alessandro Alley Project Page 3 of 3 This project has been hampered by many delays over the years, most recently when the project had to be updated to come into compliance with the latest building code revisions. If this project is not awarded soon, the plans may need to be updated once again at considerable cost to the City. Lastly, the alley is in poor condition and without the project a pavement maintenance project will need to be created to make the alleyway passable for vehicles and pedestrians. The project is budgeted to use bond funds dedicated for improvements within the right-of- way. The bond funds are restricted from being used to make improvements outside the right- of-way, which includes the improvements required by the agreements previously mentioned. An appropriation from the Committed Capital Improvement Project Reserve in the amount of $410,000 is required to fund that portion of the work that is ineligible for bond funding, specifically the improvements that will be made to the fagade of the apartment complex. the relocation of the parking lot, and any other improvements made outside the right-of-way. The appropriation of $410,000 will cover the work to be done outside the right-of-way, as well as the cost of materials testing and special inspection in those areas. City staff will be procuring a material testing and special inspection contract for the project prior to commencement of construction. The professional services contract will cover the project work to be conducted within the public right-of-way and on private property. The Materials Testing contract is anticipated to be less than $50,000 in value, therefore the City Manager is empowered by Palm Desert Municipal Code to award the contract. A portion of the appropriation is needed for inspections on private property, with the balance of materials testing and special inspection work within the public right-of-way funded with bond funds. Fiscal Analvsis A total of $1.535 million of Capital Bond Funds is currently available for this phase of the project. Due to bond fund restrictions, $410,000 from the Committed Capital Improvement Project Reserve is required for work outside the right -a -way. In addition, the installation of storm drain improvements and landscaping will result in a negligible increase in annual maintenance expenditures. LEGAL REVIEW �DEPT.
