Recommendation for Appropriation of $13,164 from State
Gas Tax fund for Maintenance/Repair/Improvement at
1616 Ocean Avenue, City-owned Apartment Building
Introduction
The subject property is in need of exterior painting. The tenants
also request that security gates be installed to cut down on crime
and vandalism.
Background
The subject apartment building was purchased by the City in 1973
with gas tax funds for a proposed highway improvement project.
The highway project has not been accomplished. In the interim
the exterior of the building has deteriorated and now needs
painting, including patching and sealing of stucco and sanding
and refinishing of wood trim and rain gutters.
This apartment building consists of sixteen (16) residential
units and two (2) store fronts, all presently occupied. Rents
range from $135 to $250 per month. The Tenants Association is
requesting installation of security gates to cut down on unautho-
rized entry to the premises and the subsequent crime and vandalism.
The property is located in a high traffic area, including a bus
stop at the building front entry.
Costs have been estimated for painting and for security gates.
The costs are estimated as follows:
Repair and Painting
Contingency @10%
Total Repair & Paint Cost

Total Gates Cost
$10,440.00

The cost for gates does not include automatic garage door opener;
this would add about $2~000.00. The cost shown is for five (5)
gates; it includes front, side, rear and garage entries.
Alternative Actions
1. Paint the building and install security gates at all entries.
2. Paint the building and install security gates at front entry
only; front entry gates cost $1,680.00.
Recommendation
Staff recommends the approval of alternative No.2; this will
require the appropriation of $11,484.00 for exterior repair and
and painting and $1,680.00 for front security gates. Total
amount required is $13,164.00 to be appropriated from Gas Tax
Funds. The Director, General Services Division will prepare
plans, specifications, advertise and award contract in confor-
mance with audit requirements of the State Gas Tax Fund.
