southbound Portola Avenue between the bridge and Magnesia Falls adjacent to Palm
Desert Mobile Estates. Additional right-of-way would be needed to accommodate the
third southbound lane, sidewalk, parkway, retaining/sound wall, and landscaping along
Portola Avenue south of the bridge.
Staff was directed to evaluate an alternative that would not require the acquisition of
additional right-of-way and that accommodates only the missing sidewalk. On April 24,
2008, two alternatives were presented to the City Council: Full Widening Permanent
and Minimum Widening Interim. The City Council directed staff to proceed with the
minimum widening alternative that consists of construction of the missing sidewalk,
retaining wall, screen wall, and landscaping on southbound Portola Avenue between the
Whitewater Bridge and Magnesia Falls Drive (see attached Vicinity Map).
DISCUSSION:
On May 26, 2009, sealed bids for the project were opened and read aloud. The
following is a summary of the bids received:
Contractor Location Bid Amount
Contreras Construction Indio, CA $ 196,928
Zeus Construction Palm Desert, CA $ 233,945
International Paving Solutions San Bernardino, CA $ 269,935
Granite Construction Company Indio, CA $ 327,800
Doug Wall Construction Bermuda Dunes, CA $ 366,079
Contreras Construction Company submitted the lowest responsive bid in the amount of
$196,928 (see attached Contractor's Proposal). The bid is under the Engineer's
Estimate of $319,000.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Capital Project Reserve Funds are available in Portola Avenue at Whitewater Bridge
Account No. 400-4359-433-4001. Staff has estimated that the maintenance cost of the
sidewalk and retaining wall will be approximately $500 per year for on-going
maintenance (see attached Project Work Sheet). The Landscaping will be maintained
by the owner of the adjacent property.
SUMMARY:
Therefore, staff recommends that City Council award Contract No. C29020 in the
amount of $196,928 to Contreras Construction Company of Indio, California, for
construction of the Portola Avenue Sidewalk Extension, Magnesia Falls to Whitewater
