OF TAMARACK AVENUE WIDENING FROM CARLSBAD BOULEVARD TO INTERSTATE 5 ENG
This project includes construction of storm drain, curb, gutter, median is' undergrounding of overhead uti1 ities, and traffic signal upgrade at Jeff€ Street and Tamarack Avenue.
The project bid was broken down into a base bid which had no road closure and i alternate which allowed the contractor to close Tamarack between Garfield SI and Hibiscus Circle to through traffic for forty-five (45) working days. Thc alternate further stipulated a thirty (30) working day decrease in contract versus the base bid.
The lowest responsive, responsible bidder was C.W. McGrath with a base bi $1,176,669.25, which is 26.5% below the Engineer's Estimate of $1,600,000.
McGrath is performing 54.6% of the contracted work with their own forces an( the manpower and equipment to perform at a reasonable level. A check of referc confirms this.
Staff recommends award of the base bid contract be made to C.W. McGi Incorporated. It is felt that the monetary/time benefit of the bid alternat not sufficient to justify the public inconvenience due to the street closure therefore, it is recommended the award be for the base bid.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The City Council has previously approved $2,062,742 in the current Car Improvement Program budget for the construction of this project.
