BACKGROUND <br /> The subject project was authorized in the 2009/2010 Capital Improvement Program. <br /> Under the City's purchasing regulations, this contract requires either approval or <br /> ratification by the City Council. <br /> The project consists of the replacement of approximately 1,100 linear feet of curb and <br /> gutter, 675 square feet of sidewalk/driveway, and installation of 65 access ramps. It <br /> also involves the installation of detectable warning surfaces on 20 existing access <br /> ramps within the City limit in order to upgrade the ramps to meet the Americans with <br /> Disabilities Act requirements. This project will correct deficient sections of curb and <br /> gutter along roadways that are scheduled for resurfacing under the Annual Street <br /> Resurfacing project for FY 2009/10. This work is critical in order to improve pedestrian <br /> safety and drainage. <br /> BIDS <br /> Sealed bids for this project were opened on May 27, 2010. There were nine (9) bids <br /> received, ranging between from $193,112.50, from Rosas Brothers Construction of <br /> Oakland, to $286,513.75 (see Attachment 1). Although there was a mathematical error <br /> from the apparent third low bidder, Pulu Concrete, the ranking remains the same after <br /> the discrepancy was adjusted. The lowest bid is 16% lower than the engineer's estimate <br /> of $230,000. <br /> The apparent low bid amount was received from Rosas Brothers Construction of <br /> Oakland. Staff reviewed the bid submitted and all bid documents were found to be in <br /> order. Past work performed by Rosas Brothers Construction was verified to be <br /> satisfactory. Therefore, staff is recommending award of the construction contract to the <br /> lowest responsible bidder, Rosas Brothers Construction. <br /> BUDGET <br /> Staff is recommending a 20% project contingency ($38,623) due to the limits of work <br /> expanding to remove damaged concrete exposed during the removal process and to <br /> accommodate other necessary field adjustments. Since funding allocated to this CIP <br /> project is insufficient, staff is recommending the transfer of $90,000 from the Annual <br /> Sidewalk Maintenance project, CIP No. 095012. Project funding and estimated <br /> expenditures are presented in Attachment 2 to this report. <br /> Page 2 of 3 <br />
