SUMMARY
On September 22, 2010, the Director of Public Works received sealed bids for the "Second
Avenue Improvement between Naples Street and Palomar Street in the City of Chula Vista, CA
(STL-342)" project. The work to be done consists of street widening and improvements
consisting of curb, gutter and sidewalk, pavement widening, and related work along Second
Avenue between Naples Street and Palomar Street. The proposed action would award the
contract to Southland Paving, Inc. and authorize the Director of Public Works to expend all
available funds in the project.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project for compliance with
the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the project qualifies
for a Class 3 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15303 [New Construction or Conversion
of Small Structures] of the State CEQA Guidelines because the project consists of installation of
minor street improvements within existing street right-of--way. Additionally, because the
proposed project will be utilizing Federal Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
monies, the Environmental Review Coordinator has also reviewed the proposal for compliance
with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) as implemented by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Therefore, the Environmental Review Coordinator has
proceeded to prepare an Enviroruxtental Assessment pursuant to 24 CFR 58.36. Thus, no further
environmental review is necessary.

BOARDS/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION
Not applicable.
DISCUSSION
The Southwestern Chula Vista Street Improvements (STL306) project is an existing CIP
established in FY 2004/05 and is programmed for needed street improvements in the Castle Park
neighborhood in western Chula Vista. These improvements are funded through a $9.5 million
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Section 108 loan. The resolution proposed for City
Council approval would construct full street improvements within Second Avenue between
Naples Street and Palomar Street.
The general scope of the Second Avenue project involves excavation and grading, removal and
disposal of existing improvements, installation of asphalt concrete pavement, crushed aggregate
base, curb, gutter, sidewalk, driveways, drainage improvements, pedestrian ramps, pavement
striping and marking.
On September 22, 2010, the Director of Public Works received and opened bids from ten (10)
contractors for the construction phase, as follows:
CONTRACTOR BID AMOUNT
1. Southland Paving, Ina -Escondido, CA $ 932,437.00
2. LB Civil Construction -San Diego, CA 951,645.00
3. Palm Engineering -San Diego, CA 996,695.00
4. Scheidel Contracting and Engineering, Inc. - La Mesa, CA 1,093,070.50
5. Portillo Concrete, Inc. -Lemon Grove, CA 1,104,095.00
6. Blair Rasmussen Construction, Inc. -San Diego, CA 1,124,979.46
7. Ramona Paving & Construction Corp. -Ramona, CA 1,187,951.00
8. 3-D Enterprise, Inc. -San Diego, CA 1,232,700.00
9. Zondiros Corp. -San Marcos, CA 1,331,450.00
10. New Century Construction, Inc.- Lakeside, CA 1,454,940.00
The low bid of $932,437, submitted by Southland Paving, Inc. is below the Engineer's estimate
of $1,100,000 by $167,563, or approximately 15%. The Contractor has satisfactorily performed
construction projects of similar scope for the City, and is currently completing work on Otay
Lakes Road (CIP Project STM355). The Contractor's License No. 451191 is current and active.
Staff has reviewed the low bid and determined the bid package was complete with no errors or
omissions; therefore, staff recommends awarding a contract in the amount of $932,437 to
Southland Paving, Inc.

The proposed resolution would also authorize the Director of Public Works to approve change
orders over and above existing policy limits. Under City Council Policy No. 574-01, if an
individual change order causes the cumulative increase in change orders to exceed the Director's
authority ("Maximum Aggregate Increase in Change Orders"), then City Council approval is
required. The corresponding maximum aggregate contract increase that maybe approved by the
Director of Public Works under Policy No. 574-01 is $68,271. Approval of tonight's resolution
would increase the Director of Public Works' authority to approve change orders, as necessary,
up to the contingency amount of $140,000, an increase of $71,729 over Policy No. 574-O1.
Increasing the contingency funds will allow staff to continue the project without delay should
unforeseen circumstances resulting in increased project costs arise during the course of
construction, as well as make adjustments to bid item quantities. Unforeseen conditions include
such items as utility conflicts, hazardous materials, unexpected underground conflicts, etc. If the
contingency funds are noC used, then they will be returned to the project fund balance.
Fu11 Depth Reclamation (FDR) with Cement
A new Full Depth Reclamation Sub-Base Methodology (FDR) is being introduced in this project.
The sub-base is the portion of the street structural section that lies underneath the asphalt. FDR
is a roadway rehabilitation process that recycles the materials from deteriorated asphalt
pavement, and with the addition of Portland cement, creates a new stabilized base.
FDR is an advanced method of pulverization which grinds through the entire layer of old asphalt
and into the sub-base or soil. While thoroughly homogenizing the mixture, chemicals may also
be added to further enhance the rejuvenated material. This adds strength, stabilization, or both,
depending upon the chemicals that are formulated into the mixture (see Attachment 2).
Due to landfills rapidly filling up and EPA regulations, it's becoming more difficult to dispose of
demolished pavement. If you pulverize and recycle asphalt where it lies, you're hauling less
material to and from the job site. Additionally, you release fewer exhaust emissions into the air
while becoming less dependent on expensive truck fuel and paying less in drivers' wages.
Asphalt pulverization with soil stabilization and asphalt pulverization, considers environmental
issues. A general comparison has revealed about a 60% cost saving using this methodology
verses the removal and replacement of sub-base methodology, which translates to approximately
$43,000 in savings for this project.
Disadvanta¢ed Business Enterprise Goal
The bid documents set forth participation requirements per Federal Regulation for meeting the
disadvantaged and women-owned business goals.
Staff also reviewed Southland Paving, Inc.'s eligibility status with regard to Federal Procurement
Programs and the status of the State Contractor's licenses. Southland Paving, Inc. is not listed as
excluded from Federal Procurement Programs.

Waue Statement
Contractors bidding on this project are required to pay prevailing wages to persons employed by
them for work under this project. No special minority or women-owned business requirements
were necessary as part of the bid documents. However, the Notice to Contractors was sent to
various trade publications in order to encourage disadvantaged businesses to bid on the project.
DECISION MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council and has found no property holdings
within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property, which is the subject of this action.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
A breakdown of the prof ect construction costs is as follows:
FUNDS REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT
A. Contract Amount $ 932,437
B. Contingencies (15%) 140,000
C. Design Staff Cost (Design, Survey, Environmental, & Public Works) 236,563
D. Staff Cost (Construction Inspection & Design Management) 180,000
E. Construction Staking/Survey 45,000
F. Material Testing/Geotechnical Engineering 20,000
G. Sweetwater Authority Water Facilities Relocation Costs) 86,000
TOTAL FUNDS REQUIRED FOR THE PROJECT $1,640,000
FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION
A. Section 108 Loan Fund
B. Transnet Fund $2,175,000
25,000
TOTAI. FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION $2,200,000
There is no direct fiscal impact to the General Fund as the Section 108 Loan and TransNet
provide funding for this project. After project completion any savings will be returned to the
Section 108 fund for reprogramming of eligible projects.
ON-GOING FISCAL IMPACT
Upon completion of the project and one-year contractor maintenance period, the improvements
will require only routine normal maintenance of the street facilities. The Public Works
department will incur a maintenance cost in the range of $500 to $1,000 annually for each of the
Modular Wetland & Filters Bioretention Systems installed with this project.

consuudion. The procedure Includes the following stepz:
Site Investigation: The site should be investigated to determine
the causz of (ailurz. Core samplzs or test holes should be used to

Thickness Design: Pavement thickness can be dzterminad by
using PCA's Thickness Design for Sofl-Cemen! Pavemen75 (EB068).

;i=1. ~', Start with a Good foundation
A goon icundauon is important ioi any s[ru cure, especially
pavements. The pavement base provides the thickness and
stiffness nece>sary to carry the design traffic.
Cement-stabilized bases have pmvlded economical, long-lasting
paaament foundations for more than 70 years. These pavements
cclnbine soil andlor aggregate with cement and water, which are
then compacted to high density. The advantages of stabilization
c;e many_
• Camara stabilization maaases [he stdhtess and strzngth
of dra bate material. A stiffer base reduces deft=coons due
tc traffic loads, vrhich results in lower suains in the asphalt
surface. This d=_lays [he onset of sumac= distress, such as
fatigue cracking, and extends pavement life.
. the strong uniterm suppo« provided by cement stabilization
results in educed stresses applied to the subgrade. A thinner
cementrstabilized s=often can r=duct subgrade s«esses more
than a thicker layer of untreated aggregate base. Subgrade
iailure>, po;holcs, and road roughness are thus reduced.
ivicismr intnrirm can desuey unstabilized pavement bases,
" irm nor ~~hen cement is used m'oind the base. Cement-
stabilizetl pavements form a moisu2~resistant base that
keeps water out and maintains higher levels of strength,
even tvh=_n samrawd.
. A cemant-stabilized base also reduces the potential for
pumping ei subgrade tines.
Stabilized Base vs. Unstabilized Base
A stabilized bast spreads loads and reduros stress mr the subgrade.
Cement-Stabilized base
Unstabilized Granular Base
r~ "•~ Old Asphalt, New Foundation
Stabilizing the old asphalt surface, granular base, and underlying
subgrade soil vaith cement creates a strong foundation for the
pavement Usually, there is little need for material to be removed or
added. Th=. old, brittle asphalt, when pulverized, becomes a "black
gravel" that will bond to hydrated cement readily. In cos=. the
existing asphalt pavement does not meet the aggregate require-
ments for a good stabilized base, additional aggregates can 6e
readily incorporated into the recycled aggregate during construction.
°~"~'R'~=~ The Problems with
Old Asphalt Pavements
Asphalt pavements eventually wear out, lust like old cars or clothing,
the effects of wear and climate will destroy the pavement. As the
roads deteriorate, they require costly maintenance to stay in service.
Asphalt pavements typically (ail in several ways. the most
common include:
Fatigue cracking: Traffic causes repeated strain in the surface
and eventually the asphalt cracks.
Rutting: Loads Irom channelized traffic shift the materials in
the surface, base, and subgrade, leaving depressions or ruts in the
pavement.
6-10
Pulverized matcriol.
Shoving: The lords created 6y cars and trucks braking and
smppinc reports the swiaca material Iran [he underlying base.
Loss of base or foundation support: Ivloistu~e degradation,
~;iaihc ovrluads, or subgrade collar can cause the pavement
base to fail.
The type of failwes mentioned above are =specially prevalent in
secondary roads, where pavement structures are typically light, and
are often not designed (or roday's increased traffic levels. Repairs
can L= costly. A typical maim=_nance ireztrnent, like a thin asphalt
overlay, vdill ally temporarily cover up the problem. Otherpptions,
;prh as thick arerays cr removal and replacement, are expensive.
_,,_~'. _".~' What Roads are Candidates
fm• FDR with Cement?
FDR Is most appropriate under the following conditions:
• The pavement is seriously damaged and cannot 6e
rehabilitated with simple resurfacing.
• Tf+e existing easement distress indiates that the
erohlem likely exists in th> 6a<= a suborade.
• The exiling pavement requires excessive patching.
• The pavement structure is inadequate for the current
a hnur tral(ic.
Serious Damage or Dase failure
The engineer can evaluate the reasons for pavement failure by
observino the types of distress that are visible. For example, alligator
crackinn, deep depressions, or soil rains on the surface are all signs
of i:zs2 or su6grade problems in the pavement structure.
PoII-0ep[h Redamati on With Rment
Esaesive Partldny
Ahhough pitching is often necessary to keep a road serviceable,
it can he expensive. In fact, once the area of full depth patching
exceeds 15°/ - 20°/, simple economics makes it less expensive
to us?FDR rather than ro perform the patching. Of course the
final product achieved with FDR is far superior to a road that is
heavily patched.
