D. Garvey Avenue Sewer Relief Line Project — Award of Contract
As part of the July 2010 tax increment bond issuance by the City's former Redevelopment
Agency, funding was included to increase capacity in the sanitary sewer system along
Garvey Avenue. Based on information gathered as a part of the Sewer System Management
Plan (SSMP), which was completed in 2009, the sewer capacity along Garvey Avenue needs
to be expanded to accommodate current and future land uses along this corridor. As a part
of this project, a sewer relief line will be built along Bartlett Avenue, between Garvey Avenue
and Klingerman Street, which will divert sewer flow into an existing Los Angeles County
Sanitation District sewer trunk line on Klingerman Street.
On July 8, 2015, the City Clerk received and publically read seven (7) bids for the
construction of this project. Sully - Miller Contracting Co. provided the lowest responsive bid
and it is recommended that they be awarded the contract for this project. In addition to the
Base Bid, which is the described sewer construction, it is recommended that Alternate Bid
Item No. 1 also be awarded. Alternate Bid Item No. 1 is the complete rehabilitation of Bartlett
Avenue with new pavement as the construction activity will have significant impacts to the
existing street surface.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the plans and specifications for the Garvey Avenue Sewer Relief Line
Project; and
2. Authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with Sully - Miller Contracting Co.
in the amount of $1,011,000 and authorize an amount of $150,000.00 (approximately 15 %)
as a contingency to cover the cost of any unforeseen construction expenses.

F. Adoption of the Updated 2015 Congestion Management Program and 2015 Local

actions taken to reduce traffic congestion in the region. Additionally, on odd numbered years,
the City must conduct traffic counts and calculated levels of service for identified arterial
intersections. The City has conducted the necessary traffic counts at the intersection of
Rosemead Boulevard and Valley Boulevard, as required by the CMP. In order to meet its
requirements, the City must adopt a resolution finding the City of Rosemead in compliance
with the CMP for Los Angeles County and also submit a Local Development Report.
Recommendation: It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Adopt Resolution No. 2015 46 finding that the City is in conformance with the
