Glendora council awards $361,364 CDBG contract for Norgate-area street improvements
Summary
The City Council unanimously approved a $361,364 contract funded by a $422,000 Community Development Block Grant to grind and overlay four streets in a low- to moderate-income census tract and to perform curb, gutter and sidewalk accessibility improvements.
The Glendora City Council voted 5-0 on Feb. 14 to award a Community Development Block Grant-funded street improvement contract to COP Contracting Inc. for $361,364.
Interim Assistant Public Works Director Valerie Velasquez Santoia told the council the project covers the area bounded by Glen Avenue to the west, Glendora Avenue to the east, Gladstone Street to the north and Juanita to the south and will repave Norgate, Payson, Kirkwall and Renwick with a 2-inch grind-and-overlay, restriping and curb, gutter and sidewalk accessibility improvements.
Velasquez Santoia said the city solicited bids on Oct. 17 and received six proposals by the Nov. 21 deadline; bids ranged from $361,364 to about $474,000, and COP Contracting was the lowest responsible bidder meeting licensing, bonding and experience requirements. She said the city applied for and received a 2025 CDBG public-works allocation of $422,000 from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and that the $361,364 contract will be fully covered by the grant with a 10% contingency authorized.
Velasquez Santoia recommended that the council adopt a categorical exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), award the contract to COP Contracting Inc. in the amount of $361,364, authorize the city manager to execute the agreement, and authorize the public works director to execute change orders not to exceed 10% of the contract amount.
After questions from councilmembers about whether water-infrastructure projects were scheduled in the same area, city staff reported the water division had reviewed the area and said no water improvements were scheduled in the next 10 years, and staff advised it was a suitable time for repaving.
Councilmember Alos made the motion to approve the staff recommendations; Councilmember Thompson seconded. The motion carried 5-0.
The contract award was enacted as part of the regular consent/action sequence; the city will proceed to execute the agreement and manage change orders under the authority authorized by the council.
