INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM

To:Scott C. Stiles

From:William E. Murray
Dept.:City Manager 

Dept.: Public Works 
Subject:

Approval of an agreement with Continental Concrete Cutting, Inc., for saw cutting services. (Cost: $200,000) (Action Item)

Date:12/13/2016

OBJECTIVE

To recommend that the City Council approve an agreement with Continental Concrete Cutting, Inc., in the amount not to exceed $200,000 to provide saw cutting services for the removal of asphalt or concrete throughout the city of Garden Grove.

BACKGROUND

The Water and Sewer Services staff perform maintenance improvements throughout the city, which includes the removal of asphalt or concrete. Saw cutting provides a cleaner cut and a stronger bond with the existing asphalt. In situations where the asphalt is 12 to 18 inches thick, saw cutting is more efficient and safe compared to using a jack hammer.

DISCUSSION

Due to a lack of personnel and proper saw cutting equipment for large asphalt projects, the City went out to bid for this service. The invitation to bid was advertised on August 31, 2016. On October 3, 2016, two (2) bids were received and deemed responsive. The lowest bidder was Continental Concrete Cutting, Inc.

  • Approve the attached agreement with Continental Concrete for asphalt and concrete saw cutting services in the amount not to exceed $200,000; and
