Item to be presented by:
John E. Medina
AT DELIGHT STREET
On June 26, 1990, the City Council authorized this project to be advertised for
bids. The purpose of this project is to install a traffic .signal system,
highway safety lighting and driveway improvements at the intersection of Whites
Canyon Road and Delight Street.
On July 19, 1990, the single qualifying bid received by the City of Santa
Clarita for this project was for the following amount:
Company Bid Amount
1. Paxin Electric, Inc. $73,430.00
2. Engineer's Estimate $82,000.00
The low bid was submitted by Paxin Electric, Inc. and is below the engineer's
estimate of $82,000. It was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the
contract documents, and was found to be complete. Steiny & Co., also submitted
a bid for this project, however, the bid arrived after the scheduled closing of
bids and therefore, was disqualified.
We have -,reviewed the bid and feel that readvertising would not be cost
effective. Readvertising would require additional staff and publishing
expenses. In addition, we may receive a higher bid the second time around when
the contractor rethinks his original bid in light of there being only one other
bidder. We have ascertained with some certainty :that the disqualified bidder
had a substantially higher bid than the low bidder.
This project.has been budgeted in the City's 1990-91 Fiscal Year Budget under
Account No. 25-96041-227.
1. Award the contract to the low bidder, Paxin Electric, Inc., in the amount of
$73,430.00.
