Item to be presented by;
Dennis Welch
CONSENT CALENDAR
DATE: July 9, 1996
SUBJECT: AWARD BID FOR ASPHALT CONCRETE
BID #PW 95-96-28
DEPARTMENT: Public Works'
BACKGROUND
As part of its annual operation, the Street Maintenance Division requires asphalt concrete. The total
amount used exceeds $25,000 and staff bids the supply.
In May, 1996, a request for sealed bids for asphalt concrete was advertised and 3 bid packets were
mailed. As standard procedure, we provide bids to the Valencia Industrial Association, Chamber of
Commerce and Bidnet for distribution, The City received two (2) responses. The sealed bids below
were opened on May 30, 1996.
NAME TOTAL BID PRICE CITY
P.W. Gillibrand $47.63 Simi Valley
Blue Diamond $23.82 Irwindale
Staff has reviewed the responses and recommends the purchase of asphalt concrete be awarded to
Blue Diamond. The large disparity between the two prices is due to the scheduled frequency by
which P. W. Gillibrand makes asphalt available.
RECOMMENDATION
Award the bid for asphalt concrete to Blue Diamond and authorize the City Manager to sign the
required documents and appropriate funds to Account Number 02-6509-215 in the amount of
$25,000, and authorize a 10 per cent contingency expenditure should any change order to the
contract become necessary.
