-’ AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR
FOXES LANDING SEWER LIFT STATION UPGRADE
CMWD PROJECT NO. 98-407, CONTRACT NO. 36561
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. do@) - 167 f or award of construction contract for Foxes Landing Sewer Lift Station Upgrade, CMWD Project No. 98-407, Contract No. 36561.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
On March 7, 2000, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2000-77 authorizing the advertisement of bids for the Foxes Landing Sewer Lift Station Upgrade, CMWD Project No. 98-407, Contract No. 36561.
The Foxes Landing Sewer Lift Station was built in 1962. The lift station will be upgraded to bring the electrical, instrumentation and controls and ventilation systems into compliance with current codes and standards. The upgrade will include three new pumps, an odor control system and a control building. Presently, the maximum flow into the station is 1500 gallons per minute (gpm) and the station has only 1 pump of that capacity. Under the upgrade, three pumps, each with 1500 gpm capacity are being installed for pumping system redundancy. New features will be added, such as controls and alarm equipment, will make the lift station more reliable. Also, the lift station is being converted, from 230 to 480 volt power that will result in less energy consumption. The lift station site is shown on Exhibit 1.
In accordance with Section 3.28.080 of the Municipal Code, an invitation to Bid was published. The bidders were asked to bid on the following nine items (detailed in the Exhibit 3, “Schedule A” of the Contract Documents):
Bidders were advised that the contract would be awarded to the bidder with the lowest sum of the bids for Items A-l through A-8 only. Item No. A-9 requires a specific odor control system for this project and was excluded from the total sum of each bid to provide better control of the construction and installation costs. Nine (9) sealed bids were received on April 20, 2000 as follows:
7. HPS Plumbing Services
8. Wier Construction Corporation
9. Scheidel Contracting & Engineering
$ 1,251,144 $ 139,036 $ 1,390,j80
$1,301,276 $ 194,157 $ 1,495,433 $1,367,500 $ 175,000 $1,542,500
.
Page 2 of Agenda Bill No. 2; 7s L/
Falcon General Engineering, Inc., was determined to be the lowest responsive bidder for
Items No. A-l to A-8. They were also the lowest bid overall, including Item No. A-9.
SCW Contracting Corporation filed a letter of protest dated April 21, 2000, stating that
Falcon General Engineering, Inc., had an unfair advantage by not listing a subcontractor for Item No. A-5. They also challenged that Falcon General Engineering, Inc., who has a valid “A
license, cannot perform the electrical work because they do not posses a “C-10” specialty license
for electrical construction. The Engineering Department contacted the California Contractors State
License Board (CSLB) for an interpretation. Copies of Exhibit 3 were provided to the CSLB.
The CSLB replied stating that a prime contractor with a valid “A” license does not need a “C-10” license for electrical contractors and is authorized to perform the work indicated as Item No. A-5.
The Engineering Department also contacted references listed by Falcon General Engineering, Inc.,
and has determined that they are capable and performed well on electrical work of similar nature.
Construction is anticipated to require approximately two hundred seventy (270) calendar days from
the date of issuance of the Notice to Proceed to the contractor. Staff recommends that
Falcon General Engineering, Inc., be awarded the contract as the most responsive bidder.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The distribution of City appropriation of fund for design and construction costs of the sewer lift
station upgrade is as follows:

Construction Cost $1,078,333
