SUBJECT: SUBDRAINS IN PASEO DEL NORTE BIDS - CONTRACT NO. io90
STATEMENT OF THE MATTER
On April 8, at 4:OO P.M., the City received bids on repair to Paseo del Norte. Attached is a summary sheet of the bids. The low bid of Reynolds Construction Company was $111,045.50, or $45,000 over the original estimate for the project. Staff has reviewed the glans in an effort to determine the cause of the overbid. The following factors appear to be problems:
1.
2.
3.
The requirement to keep the street open for traffic and access to car dealers.
The requirement for non-standard perforated and wrapped pipe.
A limited number of 'vendors for slurry seal - the lowest bidder on slurry was from Los Angeles.
Staff feels that the bid price of $111,045.50 is excessive for the work to be performed and recommends that the contract be reworked and the project rebid, with alternatives, to assure competition. The two a1 ternatives proposed are:
(a) Revise the pipe specification and slurry seal the street
(b) Revise the pipe specification and overlay the street.
A1 ternative (a) $ 73,754 (Engineer's estimate)
A1 ternative (b) 95,819 (Engineer's estimate)
In the event a suitable bid cannot be obtained, it may be necessary to include the streets in the maintenance overlay program on a more frequent than normal basis.
FISCAL IMPACT
Revised specifications and rebid should result in a project savings over the $111,045.50 bid.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Environmental review has been completed.
That Council reject all bids under Contract No. 1090 and authorize readvertise- ment, and adopt Resolution No.b$%f'readvertising - for bids for Paseo del Norte Su bdra i ns .
