Fiscal Year 2020-21 Pavement Overlay Project Update (Districts 2, 3 & 4)
This memorandum provides an update to a previous Council Memorandum dated
December 15, 2022, regarding the fiscal year 2020-21 Pavement Overlay, Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) Project No. 6001-20OL (Project), which will resurface El Camino Real between
Cannon Road and College Boulevard, El Camino Real between Arena! Road and Levante Street,
and Batiquitos Drive between Poinsettia Lane and Camino De Las Ondas.
Background
On August 31, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2021-197, awarding a contract to
All American Asphalt (contractor) to construct the Project. The contract requires completion of
all work within 120 working days from the date of the Notice to Proceed (NTP). The NTP
established the date for commencement of work as September 6, 2022, thereby establishing the
contract completion date as March 2, 2023.
A Council Memorandum issued on December 15, 2022, provided the City Council with
information on the Project and forecast the completion of all work by March 2, 2023.
Discussion
The Project has completed all work activities on El Camino Real from Arena! Road to Levante
Street and on El Camino Real from Cannon Road to College Boulevard. The contractor has re-
mobilized to complete the work along Batiquitos Drive between Poinsettia Lane and Camino De
Las Ondas.
In the Council Memorandum dated December 15, 2022, staff identified that the city's contractor
was performing work on Batiquitos Drive between Poinsettia Lane and Camino De Las Ondas and
that the Project was forecast to be complete on March 2, 2023. Since that time, the Project
encountered conditions on Batiquitos Drive that did not allow for proper installation of the new
asphalt. Specifically, areas along Batiquitos Drive contained soil that would not provide the
resistance needed to facilitate installation and proper compaction of the new asphalt. To
remediate the unsuitable conditions, staff directed the contractor to perform extra work,
including removal and replacement of the unsuitable soil.

Due to delays associated with the unforeseen conditions on Batiquitos Drive and allowable time
extensions granted for inclement weather, the Project is forecast to be complete in April 2023 ,
Next'Steps
Staff will seek opportunities to mitigate additional delays and complete the Project as early as
possible. Additionally, staff will continue to coordinate with the contractor and the city's
Communication & Engagement Department to provide residents and commuters with advance
notice of work in their neighborhood and along travel corridors so that they can anticipate and
plan for potential delays.
