SUBJECT: ACCEPT ALL WORK PERFORMED BY AMERICAN WRECKING, INC.
FOR HAZARDOUS MATERIALS ABATEMENT AND DEMOLITION OF
THE BUILDING AT 100 WEST HUNTINGTON DRIVE AS COMPLETE
Recommendation: Approve
SUMMARY
On May 19, 2015, the City Council awarded a contract to American Wrecking, Inc. in the
amount of $31,200 for hazardous materials abatement and demolition of the building at
100 West Huntington Drive. There were no change orders.
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 $31,200. 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
In January 2015, the City acquired the parcel at 100 West Huntington Drive. This site
had been used for many years as a bar /tavern called the "100 -to -1 Club ". A significant
street improvement project on Huntington Drive and Colorado Place rendered the site
unsafe for parking, access, and egress due to the installation of a sidewalk along
Huntington Drive and a raised center median. The City acquired the parcel to create
safe and efficient street segments and intersections for all modes of travel.
The project to abate the hazardous materials and demolish the building was advertised
for bids in April, and on April 30, 2015, bids were opened. On May 19, 2015, the City
Council awarded a contract to the low bidder, American Wrecking, Inc., in the amount of
$31,200.

DISCUSSION
The work commenced on July 6, 2015, and was completed on July 24, 2015. GAMA
Contracting Services, American Wrecking's hazardous materials abatement
subcontractor, performed the hazardous materials abatement, and American Wrecking
performed the demolition. There were no change orders on the project.
The site was graded and covered with mulch after completion, and a plan has been
developed for landscaping. Before landscaping the site, the City will work closely with
the Santa Anita Inn on the removal of the palm trees along the westerly property line,
which will necessitate the removal of the property line wall. Future use or disposition of
the property will be discussed with the City Council in the near future.
FISCAL IMPACT
Funding for this project comes from the $1.5 million allocated by the City Council for the
acquisition and preparation of the parcel. The $1.5 million is a combination of 90%
General Funds and 10% Transportation Impact Funds. The Transportation Impact
Funds are eligible because a portion of the land was used for street widening and
sidewalk purposes. The abatement and demolition cost was $31,200, and the
hazardous materials oversight and inspection costs were approximately $10,000. There
is approximately $80,000 remaining from the original allocation, so funds are available
for these services. Additional funds will remain available for the follow -up site
landscaping.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council accept all work performed by American
Wrecking, Inc. for hazardous materials abatement and demolition of the building at 100
West Huntington Drive.
Approved
