RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 7d£& rejecting bids and authorising the re-
advertisement of Contract No. 1117 for the dredging and improvement of
Buena Vista Lagoon in March, 1983.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On August 17, 1982, City Council authorized the advertisement of the
dredging and improvement of Buena Vista Lagoon.
On September 9, 1982, one sealed bid was received from Art Broman
General Engineering for the amount of $826,000. This was $12,000 less
than the Engineering estimate $832,000. References were checked and
the firm has good references.
The California State Department of Fish and Game reviewed the bid and
found it acceptable; unfortunately, they have not been able to clear
the Hughes disposal site. By the most optimistic consideration,
Hughes could only be available in late October. The final Coastal
Commission permits have not been obtained by Hughes.
Fish and Game have reconsidered and recommend that the City wait
until March to dredge. Their feeling is that the money would be
better expended in the Spring. The absolute cut-off date by the
Coastal Commission of December would mean that mobilization money was
spent to no avail. Their assessment was that it would be more
prudent to wait until Spring. Therefore, they have not approved the
bidders.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Sufficient funds in the amount of $990,000 are available in Account
#18-81-07-312. This money will remain available until Spring.

Carlsbad, CA 92008
Dear Mayor Casler:
The Department vciuld like to request that the Carlsbad City Council reject
the bid that was submitted for the Buena Vista Lagoon Restoration Project
(City of Carlsbad Contract #1117). Time delays in the permit process,
especially concerning one of the disposal sites, necessitates this action.
Because of the impending rainy season, we feel that proceeding with the
project this late in the year would jeopardize the effectiveness of the
work.
We are currently in the process of applying for permit amendments that
would allow us to work in the spring, summer and fall of 1983. When we
ascertain the response to these applications, we will request that the
City readvertise the project and request bids.
We fully appi'eciate the cooperation and effort that ttie City has extended
us in the development of this project. The timely work of Mr. Larry
Dossey and his staff is especially noteworthy and we look forward to our
continued good working relationship.
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Earl Lauppe at 350 Golden
Shore, Long Beach, CA 90802; telephone 213-590-5158.
Sincerely,
