The County of Orange (County) awarded a contract to R.J. Noble for rehabilitating Katella Avenue, from Magnolia Street to Jean Street, through the County’s Job Order Contract Master Agreement for Pavement Management, MA-080-20011801. The project boundaries were shared by the County, the City of Stanton and the City of Garden Grove.

To optimize economies of scale and project benefits, the County approached the City in an effort to include Garden Grove’s right-of-way as part of the overall scope of work. However, the City needed to award its own separate contract to R.J. Noble for work to be done in the City’s right-of-way. Specifically, the limits of work within the City's boundaries comprised approximately 70,000 square feet, which was only a small portion of the overall County project.

The contractor, R.J. Noble, has completed the improvements in accordance with the plans, specifications, and other contract documents.

This improvement was included in Fiscal Year 2021-22 Capital Improvement Budget, and it was paid with Measure "M2 Local Fair Share" funds. The retention payments will be released after recordation of the Notice of Completion.

It is recommended that the City Council: 

• Accept Project No. CP1293000 Katella Avenue Overlay Project, from Magnolia Street to Jean Street; 

• Authorize the City Manager to execute the Notice of Completion of Public Works Improvement and Work; and 

• Authorize the Finance Director to release the retention payment when appropriate.
