SUBJECT:

Honorable Mayor and City Council
Marty Van Duyn, Assistant City Manager
ACCEPT ANCE OF MlLLER A VENUE AND SOUTH SPRUCE A VENUE
RESURFACING PROJECT: ENGINEERING FILE NO. 51-13231-0701,
PROJECT NO. ST-07-1, BID NO. 2445
RECOMMENDA TION
It is recommended that the City Council, by motion, accept the Miller A venue and South
Spruce A venue Resurfacing Project as complete in accordance with the plans and
specifications.
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION
The completed project included Miller A venue from Chestnut A venue to Maple A venue, lmd South
Spruce A venue from Starlite Street to South Canal Street. The construction project involved full
width pavement grinding, wedge grinding, asphalt pavement dig-outs, pavement crack sealing,
installation of new asphalt concrete surfacing, new pavement striping and markings, and raising the
utility manhole and monument covers to grade.
On June 20, 2006 and June 27, 2006, staff advertised the notice to invite sealed bids for the project.
Staff opened bids on July 13,2006 and six (6) bids were received. Below is the summary of the bids:
Engineer's Estimate:
Bids: c.F. Archibald Paving, Inc. of Redwood City
Interstate Grading & Paving, Inc. of South San Francisco
G. Bortolotto and Co., Inc. of San Carlos
El Camino Paving of Sunnyvale
O'Grady Paving, Inc. of Mountain View
Esquivel Grading & Paving, Inc of San Francisco
$627,115.00
$647,688.00
$648,~~97 .00
$652,017.39
$752,891.28
$785,502.00
$872,715.50
The bid proposal specifically stated that all bidders should attach the most current Asphalt Concrete
Price Index to their respective bids. This price index determines whether the cost of asphalt concrete,
a by-product of oil, will increase or decrease due to monthly fluctuations in the cost of oil and it's by-
products.
Staff Report

ACCEPTANCE OF MILLER A VENUE AND SOUTH SPRUCE A VENUE
RESURFACING PROJECT: ENGINEERING FILE NO. 51-13231-0701,
PROJECT NO. ST-07-1, BID NO. 2445
Page 2 of 3
The City Attorney's office concluded that the low bidders' failure to attach the Asphalt Ptice Index
rendered their submitted bids as non-responsive and provided sufficient cause forrejection of the bids
submitted by c.F. Archibald Paving, Inc. of Redwood City, El Camino Paving of Sunnyvale, and
O'Grady Paving, Inc. of Mountain View; allowing the project to be awarded to the second lowest
responsive bidder, Interstate Grading and Paving, Inc. of South San Francisco.
Change Orders were issued to the contractor to perform additional pavement grinding work on
Spruce A venue, extending the limits of work to the Colma Creek btidge approach to correct the slope
of the existing grade, remove the soft pavement base encountered on Miller A venue and replace the
existing base with an asphalt base coarse material. The total change order amounted to $ 9,134.00.
FUNDING
Shown below is the cost breakdown for the project budget:
Interstate Grading & Paving, Inc. of South San Francisco Bid Amount
Add 10% Contingency
Total Project Budget Cost
- $648,997.00
- $ 64,900.00
- $713,897.00
This project was included in the City of South San Francisco's 2006 - 2007 Capital Improvement
Program. Gas Tax and Measure A funds in the amount of $713,897.00 were budgeted to cover the
costs. The actual construction cost for the project was $626,987.15 and the summary is attached.
Shown below is the cost breakdown for the project budget:
Interstate Grading & Paving, Inc. Construction Cost
Approved Change Orders - (CCO-1)
Total Project Budget Cost
- $617,853.15
- $ 9,134.00
- $626,987.15
CONCLUSION
The project installed new asphalt pavement to improve the surface resulting in smoother driving, less
vehicle emission due to continuous flow of traffic, reduced impact to vehicle damage due to
elimination of potholes and uneven pavement surface, increased service life of the street, and reduced
major street maintenance for an extended petiod of time. The project came in under the engineer's
estimate and under the bid amount by the Contractor.
The project was inspected by City staff and completed in accordance with the plans and
specifications. The project has a one year warranty period, which takes effect upon acceptance by the
City Council. Staff will file a Notice of Completion and release the payment performance bond and
retention funds at the end of the thirty day lien petiod.

SUBJECT:
January 10, 2006
Honorable Mayor and City Council
Doug Hollis, Director of Information Technology
RESOLUTION APPROVING THE TRANSER OF AN OPEN VIDEO
SYSTEM AGREEMENT AND ENCROACHMENT AGREEMENT FROM
RCN TELECOM SERVICES, INC. TO ASTOUND BROADBAND, LLC
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolution which establishes the conditions
for approving the transfer of an Open Video System Agreement and Encroachment Agreement from
RCN Telecom Services Inc. (RCN) to Astound Broadband LLC (Astound).
BACKGROUNDIDISCUSSION
The City currently has an Open Video System Agreement ("OVS" or "Agreement") in place with RCN,
which was executed in March of 1999, and expires by express terms twelve years following execution,
or on March 9, 2011. On September 21, 2006, the City received a request from RCN to transfer the
existing Agreement to Astound. The request was accompanied by a Federal Communications Form 394,
an informational package required under Federal Law that is intended to provide the City with
information useful to evaluating the proposed transfer. Under applicable Federal Regulations, the City
has 120 days following receipt of Form 394 within which to take action regarding the proposal. If the
City fails to act within that period, the proposal is deemed approved. However, it is in our best interest
to review and approve the transfer as it will continue to provide competitive Cable TV services for
residents in South San Francisco.
In August of 2006, nine (9) agencies in San Mateo County and the City and County of San Francisco
received notice that the assets and franchises ofRCN were being sold to Astound. Astound is a competitive
video provider active in the Contra Costa County area (Concord, Walnut Creek, Contra Costa County
unincorporated areas) as well as in the Pacific Northwest. They are based in Kirkland, Washington with an
office in the East Bay.
Under Federal Law and the terms of the City's non-exclusive OVS agreement with RCN, each franchising
agency has the right to review the proposed transfer of the franchise to Astound. The nine (9) agencies in
San Mateo County worked through the San Mateo County Telecommunications Authority (SAMCAT) to
review the proposed transfer. Michael Friedman of Telecommunications Management Corp. (TMC) was
Staff Report
Subject: RCN transfer of the "OVS" and encroachment permit to Astound
Page 2
retained by the agencies to perform this review.
The SAMCA T /TMC report recommends that any transfer of the OVS from RCN to Astound should
include an agreement between Astound and the City which continues the terms of the existing franchise
and also recommends Astound cover the cost of the transfer review process. Section 4 ofthe attached
resolution, assures Astound shall be responsible for any obligations and liabilities under the OVS that
accrue on or after the Closing Date..
Astound appears to be legally, financially and technically capable of operating the transferred cable
system. The draft Resolution being considered by the City Council incorporates all of SPI.MCA T's
suggested reservation of rights and cost recovery provisions. Finally, Staff notes that city officials in
Contra Costa County give Astound high marks for their customer service and marketing and indicate
that their presence in South San Francisco and the San Mateo County market would be a plus.
FUNDING
The adoption of this resolution itself will have no budget impact on the City.
CONCLUSION
Staff feels it is in the City's interest to continue the relationship with RCN and its successor company
as it will continue to provide competitive Cable TV services for residents in South San Francisco.
Staff recommends Council approval of the attached resolution and a ent with Astmd:---'..",,,

WHEREAS, federal regulations permit the City to evaluate the legal, technical and
financial qualifications of Operator to operate the System; and
WHEREAS, the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, in a case involving

and every condition set forth in Section 1 hereof separately, irrespective of the fact that one or
more of these conditions may be declared invalid or unenforceable.
