We have reviewed the contract documents and have determined that the affirmative action program of El Camino Paving, Inc. is in accordance with the current Affirmative Action Guidelines. |
| |
Vision Alignment |
We believe our recommendation is consistent with the Shared Commitment to "Ensure Basic Health and Safety for All" and Goal Number 7 "Maintain and Enhance the Public Safety of All Residents and Visitors," as the project will maintain the riding quality of the road while improving the drainage in the area for the benefit of the adjacent property owners as well as the public. |
| |
Fiscal Impact |
The total estimated cost of construction and contingencies is $230,000 which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., ton of asphalt placed, square yard of pavement fabric, etc.). The contingency is used to pay the contractor for any additional material placed as the actual tonnage used depends on the unit weight of the asphalt and the tolerances for the actual thickness of the pavement placed. |
| |
Funds have been appropriated in the Road Fund to finance this work. There is no impact to the General Fund. |
| |
A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel. |
