EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
The Verdugo Street Beautification Project (CIP 14106) was advertised for construction
on July 25, 2019, and four bids were received on August 27, 2019. The Project area is
shown on Attachment 1. Staff recommends that the City Council award a construction
contract (Attachment 2) to the lowest bidder, C.S. Legacy Construction Inc. in the
amount of $1,721,939.98. It is also recommended that the City Manager be authorized
to approve change orders in an amount not to exceed $275,000, which is 16% of the
base contract amount. Due to higher than anticipated bid prices on certain items, an
additional $333,000 is required beyond the anticipated budget shortfall of $357,000 that
was reported to the City Council on July 16, 2019, when the Council approved the
Project plans and specifications. As discussed in the Fiscal Impact section of this report,
staff has identified sufficient funding to cover the additional amount needed to deliver
the Project.
DISCUSSION/ANALYSIS:
The design of the Verdugo Street Beautification Project was initiated following approval
of an engineering design contract on November 5, 2018, with Adams-Streeter Civil
Engineers. The Council then approved the Project plans and specifications and
authorized staff to advertise the construction bid package on July 16, 2019. Below is a
summary of the bids received listed in order of bid amount. All bids were complete and
responsive to the Notice of Inviting Bids, and are valid until December 26, 2019.
Summa of Bid Results
Bidders Bid Amounts
$1,721,939
$1,813, 177
$2,217,355
$2,579,962
Overall, the City received positive interest in the Project and the bid amounts for the four
bids received were reasonably spread, with the lowest two bids being separated by less
than $100,000 (5%). The lowest bid was $1,721,939 submitted by CS Legacy
Construction Inc. Staff has checked CS Legacy Construction Inc. references, licenses,
and payment bonds, and has received positive feedback on the past performance of
this contractor. A time limit of 100 working days from the date of a Notice to Proceed
has been set for completion of construction, with expected completion in the spring of
2020. As with any construction project, the schedule may be extended by inclement
weather or discovery of unknown underground conditions.
The total Project costs -including contingencies, construction management, contract
inspection services, and archeological and Native American monitoring services -are
expected to exceed the original projections by $333,000 more than previously
anticipated due to:
City Council Agenda Report

Page 3 of 6
1. Higher estimated bid costs, mainly attributed to the construction of the concrete
pavers, new street lighting fixtures including new string lights, new irrigation
system, and general site work;
2. Overall higher cost of construction labor due to a shortage of skilled laborers; and
3. Higher costs of materials due to favorable economic conditions .
The major differences between the engineer's estimated costs and the actual low bid
prices received by C.S. Legacy Construction Inc. are summarized in the table below:
M . It E f t a1or em s 1ma es vs B"d p . I nces
Bid Item Engineer's Low Bid Costs Difference
Estimated Cost
Concrete Pavers $153,794 $248,430 $94,636
Electrical and Lighting $136,356 $231,317 $94 ,961
Automatic Irrigation System $ 40,000 $ 74, 100 $34,100
General Site Work $ 94,800 $190,332 $95,532
License Agreements
The overhead string lighting component of the Project will cross above the sidewalk and
street, and is proposed to be attached atop the Project's newly installed streetlights and
to the adjacent privately-owned building structures. In order to facilitate connection of
the City-owned street lights to the privately-owned buildings, license agreements
between the City and the adjacent property owners (Capistrano Plaza, LLC. and Alfa
Plaza, LLC.) are required. The proposed license agreements (Attachments 4 and 5)
would release the private owners from liability associated with any damage that the
string lights may cause, and would establish responsibility for maintenance of the lights
by the City when required.
Staff is recommending that the City Council approve the draft license agreements,
substantially in the form attached, and authorize the City Manager to execute the
agreements.
Rotary Clock
On July 16, 2019, the City Council accepted the donation of a four-face clock from the
San Juan Capistrano Rotary Club. The Rotary Club would purchase and provide the
four-face clock to the City, and the City would build the footing, install the necessary
conduit required for the clock, and attach the clock to the footing.
The Rotary Club is proposing to affix a dedication plaque to the clock, and has indicated
that final wording will be approved by the Rotary Club on October 4, 2019. After wording
is approved by the Rotary Club, staff will present the proposed wording to the City
Council for approval prior to construction of the four-faced clock.

FISCAL IMPACT :
The original Project budget was $1,866,000. After expenditures for concept design and
final design, the remaining available Project budget for construction and construction-
related support services is $1,505,000 . Based on the low bid, construction
contingencies, and other construction related expenses, the expected cost to deliver the
Project is $2, 195,000, resulting in a budget shortfall of $690,000. It is recommended
that funding from Successor Agency Non-Housing Bonds, Systems Development
Funds, and Community Facilities District (CFO) Funds be used to supplement the
Project budget. The Project is eligible to receive funding from each of these three
sources.
When the City Council approved the Project plans and Mitigated Negative Declaration
on July 16, 2019, the expected budget shortfall was $357,000. This was based on the
construction cost estimate of $1,640,000, which included a 15% contingency, by the
design engineer, Adam Streeter Civil Engineers. The low bid plus contingency is now
$1,996,940, resulting in an additional shortfall of $333,000, or a total shortfall of
$690,000. The table below provides a summary of the expected Project costs, available
budget, and the funds that are proposed to be used to cover the Project budget
shortfall.

SECTION 4. MITIGATION MONITORING AND REPORTING PROGRAM
4.1 Mitigation Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
Public Resources Code (PRC) Section 21081.6 (enacted by the passage of Assembly Bill [AB] 3180)
mandates that the following requirements shall apply to all reporting or mitigation monitoring
programs:
• The public agency shall adopt a reporting or monitoring program for the changes made to the
project or conditions of project approval in order to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the
environment. The reporting or monitoring program shall be designed to ensure compliance
during project implementation . For those changes which have been required or incorporated
into the project at the request of a Responsible Agency or a public agency having jurisdiction by
law over natural resources affected by the project, that agency shall, if so requested by the Lead
Agency or a Responsible Agency, prepare and submit a proposed reporting or monitoring
program.
• The Lead Agency shall specify the location and custodian of the documents or other material,
which constitute the record of proceedings upon which its decision is based . A public agency
shall provide the measures to mitigate or avoid significant effects on the environment that are
fully enforceable through permit conditions, agreements, or other measures. Conditions of
project approval may be set forth in referenced documents which address required mitigation
measures or in the case of the adoption of a plan, policy, regulation, or other project, by
incorporating the mitigation measures into the plan, policy, regulation, or project design.
• Prior to the close of the public review period for a draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) or
Mitigated Negative Declaration (MND), a Responsible Agency, or a public agency having
jurisdiction over natural resources affected by the project, shall either submit to the Lead
Agency complete and detailed performance objectives for mitigation measures which would
address the significant effects on the environment identified by the Responsible Agency or
agency having jurisdiction over natural resources affected by the project, or refer the Lead
Agency to appropriate, readily available guidelines or reference documents. Any mitigation
measures submitted to a Lead Agency by a Responsible Agency or an agency having jurisdiction
over natural resources affected by the project shall be limited to measures that mitigate impacts
to resources, which are subject to the statutory authority of, and definitions applicable to, that
agency. Compliance or noncompliance by a Responsible Agency or agency having jurisdiction
over natural resources affected by a project with that requirement shall not limit that authority
of the Responsible Agency or agency having jurisdiction over natural resources affected by a
project, or the authority of the Lead Agency, to approve, condition, or deny projects as provided
by this division or any other provision of law .
