Bidders were required to submit their proposal on bid forms included in the bid
set. E.C. Construction Co. provided their bid bond on their Surety's form.
However, E.C. Construction Co.'s Surety form contains the essential element of a
bid bond which is to pay the City the difference between their bid and the next
lowest bidder if they fail to enter into a contract. What we are assured of is
that we get the construction for the lowest bid even if E.C. Construction does
not do the work. Awarding the bid to E.C. Construction Co. is stili the best
price for this project.
The City Attorney's office is aware of this matter and has advised staff that
the contract documents permit the City to waive this type of irregularity.
RECOMMENDATION
1. Waive the aforementioned irregularity.
2. Award the contract to E.C.Construction in the amount of $34,212.35.
