Purpose:

 

To request Council approval of contract documents and award of a construction contract for Bid Schedule No. 1176, Burbank Landfill Erosion Control Project.

 

Background:

 

The Burbank Landfill is a non-hazardous municipal solid waste landfill located within an unnamed canyon in the northern portion of the City.  The landfill consists of three distinct units: Landfill Nos. 1 and 2 have been closed for several decades, and Landfill No. 3 is active.

 

Access to the closed landfills is via a gated, paved road that extends from lower Bel Aire Drive up to Lockheed View Drive.  Over the years, a steep sideslope near the intersection of this access road with Bel Aire Drive has eroded and is affecting the adjacent property located at 1001 Amherst Drive.  After being alerted to this by the property owner at 1001 Amherst Drive, staff hired a consulting geotechnical firm, Hushmand and Associates, who evaluated the site conditions and designed a retaining wall with shotcrete to stabilize the slope. 

 

Analysis
 

Bid Schedule No. 1176 was advertised in the Burbank Leader on May 18 and May 21, 2005.  A bid opening was held on June 28, 2005, and three contractors submitted bids ranging from $126,550.00 to $180,000.00 (Exhibit A).  Kalban, Inc. of Sun Valley, California, submitted the lowest bid of $126,550.00 which is 15.6 percent below the engineer�s estimate of $150,000.00.  Kalban, Inc. has completed several projects for the City of Burbank with satisfactory results.

 

Construction of this project is planned to occur between September and October, 2005.  An environmental review categorized this project as exempt by Categorical Exemption under CEQA Section 15301(b).

 

Fiscal Impact:

 

Funding for this project is provided by the 2002 Series B Waste Disposal Revenue Bonds, and sufficient funding is available in project account number 498-PW31B-15012-0000-15777.  The cost of this project was included in the Refuse Fund�s 2005-2006 five-year financial forecast and will not cause a rate increase. 

 

Recommendation:

 

Staff recommends that Council adopt the resolution approving the contract documents and awarding a construction contract to Kalban, Inc. for Bid Schedule No. 1176, Burbank Landfill Erosion Control Project.
