Speaker 0: Councilmember Sabrina Motion carries item 17. Report from Public Works. Recommendation to award contracts to Corbin and C.J.. Concrete construction for construction of curb ramps and concrete related improvements in an aggregate amount not to exceed $30 million citywide.
Speaker 4: To any public company inside of. She no further comment. Oh.
Speaker 5: Councilwoman just had a.
Speaker 2: Question for I don't know if Councilmember Tonga or Mongo has a question. Okay. Just really quick. I know we had talked about with this particular contractor, I don't know if we have an update on from public works on where we're at. You know, we had requested some information to be brought back relative to lawsuits and all of that.
Speaker 1: We do. Craig Beck should be in the back. He should be here. Just a minute. Tom went to look for him. Basically, we found no evidence of anything. That was a concern in the city of Long Beach. I think there were some concerns in other places in California, but certainly not in the city of Long Beach. And here we go with Mr. Beck. Could you repeat the question for Craig?
Speaker 2: Yes, we had discussed relative to this concrete construction about lawsuits that this company had and any updates. And I believe I don't know if we had asked. I can I don't know. Through my recollection, if we asked for a two from four or how we asked for that information back. But I wanted to ensure we addressed that.
Speaker 1: Yes. Thank you. You are correct. Councilmember Gonzales, when we met at the it's fine to say it was about six weeks ago when an item came forward asking to extend the previous construction contract for concrete and C.J. Khan. C.J. Construction was the contractor to do the work. The timing on closing the RFP for the ADA ramps, which is what is before you this evening had closed. And instead of extending the previous contract, which I think was on its fourth or fifth iteration, we thought it would be more prudent to move forward with a new contract that had all the current specifications in it. That's part of what we have here tonight. On the wage compliance concerns that were expressed that evening. We did meet with the Center for Labor Compliance and we did meet with C.J. Construction and addressed all those issues. There were two items that were found to where C.J. was out of compliance, not in the city of Long Beach. These were in other jurisdictions where they had to make corrections in their prevailing wage payment structure. But we reviewed what was provided in Long Beach, and thus far we've not been able to identify any situations where they did not pay prevailing wage.
Speaker 2: Okay. Are we able to get that in a two from four? I would just like to see it documented because I think, you know, I still have concerns. With that, even though it's not in the city of Long Beach, there's still concerns with that.
Speaker 1: Yes, Councilmember, certainly we can put that into far from and send it to everybody.
Speaker 2: I appreciate that. Thank you.
