BACKGROUND
In 2009 the Los Angeles County Department of Public Works inspected the bridge on
Sierra Madre Boulevard over Sierra Madre Wash as part of their bridge inspection
program. All bridges in Los Angeles County are inspected every two years. The Sierra
Madre Boulevard bridge was classified in good condition overall; however, the
inspection noted that the exposed steel girders supporting the bridge showed areas of
rust over the entire length of the steel girders. The recommendation from the County
inspector was to remove all rust on the steel superstructure, prime, and re-paint all steel
members. The County provided additional information that the existing steel members

are painted with lead-based paint. The lead-based paint is considered to be a
hazardous material, which required the City to follow proper protocol and procedure for
the removal of this hazardous substance.
The bridge was constructed in 1953 and there was no record of the bridge ever being
re-painted. While the condition of the bridge is currently good, corrosion is evident on
the steel girders and it is apparent that what is left of the original paint, no longer acts to
protect the steel from corrosion. Corrosion of the steel starts slowly but will increase
more rapidly over time and the effects will be irreversible.
On June 21 2011, the City Council awarded a contract to PARC Specialty Contractors,
Inc in the amount of $77,900 to remove the lead-based paint and rust, and repaint the
bridge. The terms and conditions of this contract have been complied with and the work
has been performed to staff's satisfaction.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept all work performed by PARC Specialty
Contractors, Inc as complete and authorize the final payment to be made in accordance
with the contract documents, subject to retention of $7,490. This amount reflects the
original contract amount of $77,900 minus quantity changes totaling $3,000 below the
original contract amount.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
This project is categorically exempt per Section 15302 (c) replacement from the
requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act.
FISCAL IMPACT
$82,000 has been budgeted in the 2010-11 Capital Improvement Plan Budget for bridge
repairs.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Accept all work performed by PARC Specialty Contractors, Inc for the Lead
Paint Abatement and Paint of the Sierra Madre Boulevard Bridge over
Sierra Madre Wash as complete.
2. Authorize final payment to be made in accordance with the contract
documents, subject to a retention of$7,490.
