The proposed construction of the Monte Vista Street Rehabilitation Project, Fiscal Year 2022-2023, City Project No. 2-R-22 ("Project") includes pavement cold milling, asphalt concrete (AC) dig out repairs, new pavement resurfacing, and full depth reconstruction; in addition, the preparation and implementation of storm water "best management practices", re-construction of existing concrete alley and driveway approaches, sidewalks, cross gutters & spandrels, local depression repairs, curb ramps, retaining curbs, curbs and gutters, and other incidental work as identified on the Project's plans and specifications. These improvements will be completed on Monte Vista between Lambert Road and La Habra Boulevard. 

 On April 24, 2024, the City received seven (7) bids for construction with the following results:

Staff reviewed the submitted bids and found the bid from Gentry Brothers, Inc. ("Gentry Brothers") to be the lowest responsive bid. Staff reviewed work references provided by Gentry Brothers and found them to be satisfactory. Gentry Brothers has completed similar projects for the cities of Montclair, Chino Hills, and Arcadia. Staff found no record of excessive change order requests by Gentry Brothers and they currently maintain a valid Contractor's License; therefore, staff is recommending that the City Council award a construction contract to Gentry Brothers and authorize staff to issue a purchase order in the amount of $1,030,728, which includes a 20 percent contingency. 

This project has an approved budget of $1,183,344 ($125,000 from M2 Fair Share and $1,058,344 from SB1). There are sufficient budgeted funds available to cover the construction costs and contingency, inspection services, and material testing expenses associated with this project; therefore, no additional appropriation is requested at this time.
