SUBJECT: Bid Award for Chuck Pontius Commuter Rail Trail Building Demolition
Project No. 99-029-01
DEPARTMENT: Parks,, Recreation, and Community Services
At the regularly scheduled .City Council meeting of December 13, 1994, staff received
authorization to proceed with the advertising for bids for Project No. 99-029-01. This project
consists of demolition and removal of the facility at 21340 Soledad Canyon Road, Santa Clarita,
California 91350, commonly known as Far West Rent-A-Car.
Ten bid packages were purchased during the bid period, and four bids were subsequently
received by the City Clerk. The Engineer's estimate for this project is $43,907. The four bids
received were:
Majestic Technologies Inc.
Certified Contracting Services
Southwest Industries
CST Environmental
Fresno, CA
Van Nuys, CA
Rancho Cucamonga, CA
Anaheim, CA
$ 29,400
$ 47,440
$ 49,875
$148,800
The bid analysis for Majestic Technologies Inc., the apparent low bidder, indicated the following
irregularities: the bidder did not provide the required CAL/OSHA registration; the bidder
intends to subcontract out more than 50 percent of the work; and the bid contained a
mathematical error. The correct bid amount, when unit prices are extended, should have been
$19,400.
State law prohibits awarding a contract to Majestic Technologies Inc. for $29,400. Majestic
Technologies Inc. has informed staff that they will lose too much money if they do this work for
$19,400. They have requested to be relieved of their bid due to a mistake, and have requested

that their bid bond not be forfeited, all as provided by law. Logistically, this can be done by
disqualifying the bid.
The second low bidder, Certified Contracting Services, is responsive, and funds are available in
Account No. 17-99029-227 for the work described under this project.
1. Authorize staff to disqualify Majestic Technologies, Inc. of their bid due to the irregularities
mentioned in the body of this agenda report, and authorize release of their bid bond. Award
the contract to Certified Contracting Services, the second low bidder, in the amount of
$47,440 and provide for a contingency allowance of $10,000. Funds for this project to be
allocated from Account No. 17-99029-227.
