STAFF REPORT
TO: THE HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JEFF ALLRED, CITY MANAGER 4 0
DATE: FEBRUARY 12, 2013
SUBJECT: SIDEWALK, CURB AND GUTTER REPLACEMENT PROJECT —
REJECTION OF BIDS
SUMMARY
As a part of the City's Fiscal Year 2012 -13 Capital Improvement Program, the City
Council approved the "Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Replacement Project," which consists
of the repair and replacement of sidewalk, curb and gutter in various locations
throughout the City. This project is aimed at increasing pedestrian safety, improving
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and is funded through gas
tax monies. On February 6, 2013, bids were received and reviewed for the project.
Staff Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council reject all bids received for this project and direct
staff to readvertise the project for bid.
DISCUSSION
At 11:00 a.m. on February 6, 2013, the City Clerk publicly opened and read one (1)
sealed bid with the following result:
1 FS Construction Sylmar, CA $182,438.00
The bid received by FS Construction exceeds the engineer's estimate of $150,000.00.
Furthermore, this same project received nineteen (19) competitive bids at this time last
year. Staff believes that by rebidding the project and conducting additional outreach to
local concrete contractors, more bids will be received, ensuring the City receives the
best available prices.
FINANCIAL REVIEW
Funding for this project is provided for in the Fiscal Year 2012 -13 Capital Improvement
Program through state gas tax monies in the amount of $200,000.00.
