RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2006-020 accepting bids and awarding the contract to KLM Construction
for the construction of the Carlsbad Boulevard Bridge Seismic Retrofit, Project No. 3557-1.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
The Carlsbad Boulevard Bridge Seismic Retrofit Project will retrofit the existing bridge over the North
County Transit District (NCTD) railroad lines just south of the intersection of Carlsbad Boulevard and
State Street. The bridge was constructed in 1925 and then was widened in 1936. As part of its
ongoing programs, the California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) identified the need for this
bridge to undergo a seismic retrofit. In conjunction with input from Caltrans and NCTD, the City of
Carlsbad prepared construction documents for the retrofit of the bridge consistent with the ongoing
use of the railroad corridor.
The engineer's construction cost estimate for the project was $945,000. On December 14, 2005,
three (3) sealed bids were received for the construction of this project, as shown on the following
table.

All bid documents submitted by KLM Construction have been reviewed by staff, and found to be in
order.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Caltrans and FHWA have approved the NEPA Categorical Exemption/Exclusion for seismic retrofit
projects. It has been determined by Caltrans that this approval is applicable to the subject project
and, therefore, the project is categorically exempt. The project is exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA guidelines as an existing
facility.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The following table summarizes the costs and funding for the project.

The total TransNet Local appropriation of $1,519,000 is sufficient to complete the project. The City is
eligible, however, for approximately $1 million of approved federal and state grant funds provided for
seismic retrofit projects, which will be used to reimburse the TransNet Local Fund.
