Redevelopment Project lA
Introduction
This report reques s City Counci award a contract for the construction of tfie
walkway in the Ocean Park Redevelopment Project lA to Schwartz Construction,
the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $258,171.
Background
As a requirement for development of the Redevelopment area, the Coastal Commis-
sion required the City to provide access for pedestrians from Main Street to
Barnard Way at Ashland Avenue. Plans and specifications were prepared by the
SWA group, Laguna Beach, California, as retained by the Redevelopment Agency.
The project was approved by the Architectural Review Board on July 2, 1980.
The project includes grading, extensive landscaping, Tighting, concrete sidewalks,
a fire lane of "turf block" and a bikeway. The project provides access from
Nlain Street to Barnard Way and a leg extends from the main walkway at Ashland
southerly to the Neilson Villa Senior Citizens' apartments.
A question arose at the bid opening over a discrepancy in the plans prepared
by the SWA group. The details concerning the concrete. finish indicated two
different types of finish. were to be used on different portions of the walkway..
In fact, only one type of sidewalk finish, exposed aggregate concrete, is to
be used. Schwartz has submitted a signed statement indicating that this fi:nish_
will be used on all sidewalk. at no extra cost to the City. A71 handicap ramps
have been installed and construction of the. walkway will complete the required
access.
