SUBJECT: ACCEPT ALL WORK PERFORMED BY AMERICAN WRECKING, INC.
FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ABATEMENT AND DEMOLITION OF
BUILDINGS AT 101 -159 NORTH SANTA ANITA AVENUE
Recommended Action: Approve
SUMMARY
On May 7, 2013, the City Council awarded a contract to American Wrecking, Inc. in the
amount of $145,500 for hazardous materials abatement and demolition of buildings at
101 -159 North Santa Anita Avenue.
The terms and conditions of this project have been complied with, and the required work
has been performed to staff's satisfaction for a final cost of $145,500, with no change
orders. It is recommended that the City Council accept the project as complete and
authorize the final payment in accordance with the approved contract documents.
BACKGROUND
The demolition of the buildings at 101 -151 North Santa Anita Avenue was originally part
of the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency (Agency) project to purchase and assemble land
for the expansion of the Rusnak Mercedes Benz dealership. The Supreme Court
Decision to end Redevelopment delayed the Agency's sale of the property as the
Successor Agency to the Arcadia Redevelopment Agency took over responsibility of the
properties.
In October of 2012, the City Council decided to move forward with the demolition of the
buildings and fund the project with General Funds. Plans and specifications were
assembled, with the assistance of Converse Consultants, to include the abatement of all
hazardous materials. The project was advertised for bids in January of 2013 and on
January 24, 2013, bids were opened with American Wrecking Inc. submitting the lowest
responsible bid in the amount of $145,500.

In February of 2013, the City Council decided to explore other ways to fund the
demolition, and the project award was placed on hold. In April of 2013, the City
received approval from the State of its plan to fund the demolition with Successor
Agency funds. On May 7, 2013, the City Council awarded the contract to American
Wrecking Inc. and appropriated the funding from Successor Agency funds.
DISCUSSION
The Hazardous Material Abatement work began on June 24, 2013, and took
approximately three weeks to complete. The demolition work began on July 15, 2013,
and was completed on August 6, 2013. The contractor faced no unusual circumstances
on the project and there were no change orders. The final project cost is the same as
the original contract amount of $145,500.
FISCAL IMPACT
The final construction cost of $145,500 is the same as the originally approved contract
amount. Funding was appropriated by the City Council from Successor Agency Funds
for the project. There is no additional fiscal impact from this project.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept all work performed by American
Wrecking, Inc. for hazardous materials abatement and demolition of buildings at 101-
159 North Santa Anita Avenue.
Approved.
