            Attachment 1 2

This report provides the City Council with a follow-up discussion of the Fiscal Year 2009-10 Proposed Operating Budget, including a listing of all recommended budget adjustments to the originally proposed budget.

2.    Direct staff to include City Council comments and/or revisions to the Fiscal Year 2009-10 Proposed Operating Budget for formal adoption on June 19, 2009.

 

D.        Approval of Notice of Completion and FY 2008/09 Capital Improvement Program Budget Modification for Ball Road and Bloomfield Avenue Storm Drain Project (CIP No. 06/07-01)              (PW)

            Attachment 1 2

The Ball Road and Bloomfield Avenue Storm Drain Project is complete and in compliance with the plans and specifications. Due to unforeseen subsurface conditions and utility re-work costs, the final project costs are considerably higher than the original contract. Staff is therefore recommending a budget modification to move cancelled Measure M funds from another project to the Ball Road and Bloomfield Avenue project.  The budget modification and anticipated utility reimbursements will result in a small project surplus.  Staff is also recommending the City Council accept the work as complete, accept the project change orders, direct filing the Notice of Completion, and retention release as provided by the Public Contracts Code.

 

1.    Accept as complete the construction contract by All American Asphalt for the Ball Road and Bloomfield Avenue Storm Drain Project project; and,

 

2.    Accept the project change orders in the amount of $282,827.73; and,

 

3.    Approve the modification to the 2008-09 Capital Improvement Program, cancelling the Cerritos at I-605 Interchange Feasibility Study and reallocating the project’s $45,000 in Measure M funds to the Ball Road and Bloomfield Avenue Storm Drain Project; and,

 

4.    Direct the City Clerk to record the Notice of Completion with the County Recorder’s office; and,

 

5.    Authorize staff to release the 10% retention, in the amount of $90,188.69, thirty-five (35) days after recordation of the Notice of Completion.

 

E.              Consideration of a Letter to the Joint Forces Training Base (JFTB) Stating Concerns Regarding the Modification of Truck Routes Serving the JFTB Composting Pilot Program            (Administration)

                  Attachment 1

Consideration and possible action to forward a letter to the JFTB stating the City’s concerns regarding plans to modify the truck routes serving the JFTB Pilot Composting Program.
