BACKGROUND
On December 11, 1990, the City Council authorized the advertisement of the
subject project. The project provides for an asphalt overlay of Bouquet Canyon
Road from Centurion. Way to Urbandale Avenue.
On January 15, 1991, the following bids were received by the City Clerk.
Comoanv
Bid Amount
1. Granite Construction Company $457,880.70
2. Excel Paving Company 464,464.00
The Engineer's estimate for this project is $401,007.50. $572,00 is currently
budgeted in Account No. 25-96007-227 for design, contract administration,
inspection, and construction of this project.
This project is eligible for FAU funds, and has been identified as FAU project
No. M -Q064(005) CRP -2089 (300). Council approved FAD Master Agreement 07-5450
and Program Supplement 001 on October 9, 1990. The City will receive $285,000
in federal funds toward the cost of this project.
A review of the .low bid with the engineer's estimate reveals that the major
difference is in Item No. 6 - Asphalt Rubber Hot Mix. Although the engineer's
estimate considered the price instability of oil related products, in light of
the current crises, it appears the bids reflected an even greater concern.
Since 16 bid packages were sold; it does not appear that re -advertising will
result in lower bids. Therefore, staff recommends that the project be awarded
to the low bidder, Granite Construction Company. Caltrans has reviewed the bid
documents and concurs in the award of this project to the low bidder.
Granite Construction Company possesses the State Contractor's license and is a
member in good standing. The bid of $457,880.70 was .reviewed for accuracy and
conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete. This
contractor has done similar work for other agencies out of state, including the
cities of Phoenix and Tempe, Arizona. Both references indicated that this
contractor performed work to their satisfaction.
