The rehabilitation of
Katella Avenue between Siboney Street and Walker Street is to be funded through
the federal economic stimulus program. As such, the City must move
expeditiously with the project or lose this unique funding opportunity. The
preliminary work must be funded by the City. Therefore, staff is recommending
hiring the Aslan Group as a sole source contract to
work with the City Engineer to get the project ready as soon as possible. Costs
for this phase will come from remaining funds for this year’s street
resurfacing program.
Recommendations:
1. Approve
the professional services agreement in the amount of $30,000 with the Aslan Group for the Katella Avenue Rehabilitation Project;
and,
2.
Approve the use of a “sole source”
contract due to the urgency to move as quickly as possible on the Federal
Economic Stimulus project; and,
3. Authorize the Mayor to execute the
professional services agreement.
