CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: January 10, 1995
SUBJECT: Notice to Award North Oaks Park Improvement - Project No. 99-033
BACKGROUND
The Parks, Recreation, and Community Services Department is preparing to construct Project
No. 99-033, which consists of the installation of new play equipment and play area, additional
parking, renovation of existing lighting system, landscaping, and irrigation system at North
Oaks Park. The bid opening for this project was held on Thursday, December 15, 1994.
Based on comments from public participation, the Parks and Recreation Commission, and
staff, the engineer's estimates total $250,000 for the completion of the project. Of the
$250,000 budget, $25,000 has been utilized for the design and construction documents. The
remaining $225,000 will not be adequate to construct all improvements that the community
expects. However, with participation by City staff, all planned improvements to the park will
be made. Demolition of the old play equipment began several months ago through a joint
effort between the Public Works Department and the Parks Division. Parks Division staff
will also provide tree planting, lighting installation, and landscape installation services.
The remaining construction was advertised for public bids, and the results of the bid opening
conformed with the engineer's estimate. Thirty bid packages were sold, four of which were
local general contractors or subcontractors. A total of nine bid proposals were submitted for
this project. The bids included all improvements previously described plus six bid alternates
which included landscape items. The bids received were as follows::

* After completing the review of all bids, background references, and bonding companies,
staff has determined Pima Corporation to be the lowest responsible bidder. Under the
advice of the City Attorney, the bid proposal from Green Coast Construction
Landscaping, Inc. was rejected for nonresponsiveness and failure to meet the
requirements of the bid proposal. Green Coast's proposal contained gross numerical
errors and did not include a listing of all subcontractors and vendors as required..
Funding in the amount of $225,000.00 for this project has been budgeted for fiscal year
1994/95 and is available in account #24-99033-227. In order to remain within this budget,
several bid items were deleted. With these deletions, Pima Corporation's bid has been
reduced to $206,849.00.
RECOMMENDATION
1. The City Council reject the proposal submitted by Green Coast Construction
Landscaping, Inc. for nonresponsiveness and failure to meet the requirements of the bid
proposal.
2. The City Council accept the remaining bid proposals, numbers 2 through 9, as identified
above.
3. The City Council award the contract for the construction of North Oaks Park
Improvement - Project No. 99-033 to Pima Corporation for a total amount of
$206,849.00, and that an additional $18,151.00 be approved should any change orders
become necessary, for a grand total of $225,000.00.
The City Council authorize staff to issue a purchase order to Pima Corporation in the
amount of $225,000.00 from account #24-99033-227,
