Clear Lake council approves wayfinding signage and three major street rehabilitation contracts
Summary
Council unanimously approved a Clean California signage contract and three Measure V/locally funded road rehabilitation contracts — Square Signs LLC ($306,560), South Ballpark Road ($2,018,696), Tree Streets ($3,228,400.20) and Clear Lake Park project ($6,164,002.40) — with 10% contingency authorization noted.
The Clear Lake City Council on June 6 approved a series of contracts to install wayfinding and digital marquee signage and to rehabilitate multiple street corridors.
Director Leiva (presenting project background) said the city received Clean California local grant funding to fabricate and install wayfinding signs and three digital marquee electronic message boards; staff recommended awarding the signage and wayfinding contract to Square Signs LLC for a total of $306,560 (two component bids of $219,920 for marquees and $86,640 for wayfinding). The council voted to award that contract and authorized the city manager to approve up to 10% in contract changes.
On pavement work, council approved three low bids and authorized contracts with contingencies: the South Ballpark Road Rehabilitation Project (low bid and motion recorded at $2,018,696 with 10% contingency), the Tree Streets Road Rehabilitation Project (All American Construction low bid $3,228,400.20; total with contingency and reimbursements noted in staff report), and the Clear Lake Park Road Rehabilitation Project (Lehman Construction low bid $6,164,002.40; total net cost including contingency and utility reimbursements reported at roughly $6,637,606.64 in staff materials).
Council members asked standard clarification questions about gateways vs. marquee signs, bid protests and notary irregularities on one protest (city attorney Jones concluded the irregularity was minor and did not affect bidder responsibility), and funding sources. Director Leiva and city manager Flora described a mix of Measure V, gas tax/SB1, and grant funding for projects; staff said debt financing taken in 2022 made multiple projects possible and that contingencies and favorable bids left room for additional projects.
All motions passed unanimously, recorded as five in favor, zero opposed. Staff said they will return if any change orders approach the authorized contingency limits.
