ITEM #20 CITY OF COLTON For the City Council and Redevelopment Agency Meeting of September 16, 2008 TO: Honorable Chairperson and Boardmembers FROM: Candace E. Cassel, Economic Development Director SUBJECT: Authorization to Award a Demolition Contract to DJOA in the Amount of $268,000 for the Demolition of the Colton Palms Senior Housing facility. DATE: September 10, 2008 BACKGROUND On July 15, 2008, the Agency Board authorized the issuance of bids for the Colton Palms Senior Housing facility and authorized retaining the services of Technical Services Inc., Thomas I. Williams, to prepare the bids and specifications and to serve as the project manager for the demolition of the Colton Palms Senior Housing facility. The demolition project includes demolishing 14 existing structures including: nine three-story apartment buildings totaling 92,013 sf.; four separate buildings within the complex known as the storage building, community building, crafts building, library, and a laundry building that total about 5,808 sf.; and a 374 sf. maintenance building. This project site is located at 510 North La Cadena Drive and encompasses about 2.4 acres. The project site is designated General Commercial by the City's General Plan and zoned C-2 (General Commercial Zone). The project site is surrounded by low-density residential development and commercial uses. To the north is the City's Civic Center which includes City offices and the Police Department; to the east are single-family residences; to the south are commercial uses; and to the west are small businesses and Fleming Park. Demolition will consist of two phases. Phase One is described as heavy demolition in which the wood -framed structures will be knocked down and hauled off. It is expected that Phase One will require two to three track backhoes with scoop buckets, two or more track loaders and six to eight heavy duty dump trucks with open trailers. Phase One will take approximately one month to complete. Phase Two consists of demolishing hard surfaces, such as concrete slab and foundation structures, pavements, and walkways. Once demolished, the surfaces will be cleared from the site. Phase Two also includes removing utilities. The existing utility lines will be capped prior to the onset of the project. Phase Two will require the use of two track backhoes with mounted hammers that can shear -cut rebar, two or more tack loaders, and six or more heavy duty dump trucks. It is expected that Phase Two will take approximately three weeks to complete. The two phases will occur sequentially, so it is expected that the project will take under two months. The proposed demolition will require approximately 18-20 workers and 20-24 vehicles.
