It is recommended that the Mayor and City Council of the City of San Bernardino,
California, adopt Resolution 2020-84:
1. Approving total project budgets in the amount of $1,060,000 for Stor m Drain
Repairs at Various Locations (CIP Project SD04 -24 and CIP Project SD19-003)
to include a construction contract in the amount $849,730, project contingencies
in the amount of $170,270 and engineering and inspection budgets in the amount
of $40,000 (collectively; and
2. Approving the award of a Construction Contract with TRYCO General
Engineering of Rimforest, California in the amount of $849,730; and
3. Authorizing the Director of Finance to amend the FY 2019/20 adopted budget to
allocate $574,380 in Storm Drain Fund No. 248 to the Project; and
4. Authorizing the City Manager or designee to expend the contingency fund, if
necessary, to complete the project.
Background
The Public Works Department is responsible for the repair and maintenance of th e
City’s storm drain system. Due to the age of the system, and years of deferred
maintenance, several areas of the system have been identified where repairs and
improvements to the infrastructure are necessary to restore effective storm water
conveyance.
The Mayor and City Council previously approved two capital improvement plan (CIP)
projects to begin addressing this work. These projects focused on improving the
condition of storm water infrastructure at intersections that experience flooding during
storm events. CIP Project No. SD19-003 (Storm Drain Annual Upgrades) was approved
with an initial budget amount of $500,000 to address storm drain system improvements
at 12 intersection locations throughout the City. CIP SD04 -24 (Waterman and Baseline)

was approved with an initial budget amount of $100,000 to address the storm drain
infrastructure repair needs at the intersection of N. Waterman Avenue and E. Baseline
Street. Both projects were funded through Storm Drain Fund No. 248.
Discussion
Staff advertised construction bid Project 13351 (to provide storm drain repairs at various
locations) on March 2, 2020, and March 20, 2020 in the San Bernardino County Sun
Newspaper, F. W. Dodge, Construction Bid Board, High Desert Plan Room, San Diego
Daily Transcript, Sub-Hub Online Plan Room, Reed Construction Data, Bid America
Online, Construction Bid Source, Bid Ocean, the City’s websites, and the San
Bernardino Area Chamber of Commerce. The single bid solicitation included both of the
previously approved CIP projects for a total of 13 locations as follows:
CIP SD04-24
Intersection of N. Waterman Avenue and E. Baseline Street
CIP SD19-003
Sierra Way between 2nd and 3rd Streets
Lugo Avenue between 2nd and 3rd Streets
Intersection of W. Marshall Boulevard and North “E” Street
Intersection of North “G” Street and W. Highland Avenue
Intersection of North “G” Street and W. 7th Street
Intersection of E. Baseline Street and Bobbitt Drive (860 Baseline Street)
Intersection of Pacific Street and Garden Drive
Pacific Street between Perris Hill Park Road and Garden Drive
Intersection of N. Rancho Avenue and W. Mill Street
Intersection of Arden Avenue and E. Lynwood Drive
Intersection of E. Jane Street and Rogers Lane
Intersection of E. Citrus Street and Palm Ave
Sealed bids were received and opened on March 26, 2020. The City received the
following four (4) bids:
Bidder City Base Bid
TRYCO General Engineering Rimforest $ 849,730
Mike Prlich & Sons, Inc. Baldwin Park $ 1,619,283
Wright Construction Engineering Corp San Marcos $ 1,634,960
Kirtley Construction, Inc. dba TK Construction San Bernardino $ 1,966,915
The bid solicitation resulted in a base bid amount for the construction work that is higher
in price than staff had originally expected. The difference can be attributed to increases
in material costs that have occurred since the time staff submitted project estimates for
budgeting purposes. At this time, staff has reviewed all bid packages and confirmed that
TRYCO General Engineering of Rimforest, California, is the lowest responsible and
responsive bidder, with a total bid amount of $849,730.

In addition to construction costs, staff anticipates the need for a construction
contingency to provide for any unforeseen work that is related to the project. The
contingency amount of $170,270 is higher than would normally be requested due to the
multiple project locations. An additional $40,000 is also required to support staff time for
engineering inspections of the project.
The estimated full project cost is at $1,060,000, which includes the lowest responsive
construction bid, project contingencies, and engineering inspections. The breakdown of
the total project costs are as follows:
Amount
Bid $ 849,730
Construction Contingency $ 170,270
Engineering and Inspections $ 40,000
Total Estimated Project Cost $ 1,060,000
The total cost for these projects exceed the remaining project budgets available in each
project. While initial budgets were established for both CIP SD04-24 and CIP SD19-003,
a portion of those budgets have been expended to prepare plans and specs for bidding
purposes. Additional funding in the amount of $574,380 is needed from Storm Drain
Fund (248) to fully fund the projects. The table below shows th e current budget
remaining and additional funding allocation required to fully fund each of the projects .

Staff is recommending that the Mayor and City Council award a bid to TRYCO General
Engineering of Rimforest, California to perform storm drain system repairs, and
authorize the use of Storm Drain Fund No. 248 fund balance to support the full cost of
the projects. If approved, work is anticipated to begin in June , 2020, and be completed
by October 2020.
2020-2025 Strategic Key Targets and Goals
This project is consistent with Key Target No. 1e: Create and asset management plan.
Approval of these projects will allow staff to address issues caused by deferred
maintenance in the City’s storm drain system, and will improve th e system’s long term
functionality at the project locations.
