M0016 — REJECTION OF ALL BIDS AND AUTHORIZATION TO RE - ADVERTISE FOR BIDS DEPARTMENT: Transportation and Engineering Services RECOMMENDED ACTIO City Council authorize rejection of all construction contract bids for the 2000-2001 Citywide Curb and Gutter Flowline Realignment and Restoration program, Project No. M0016, and direct staff to re -advertise for bids. This project will improve drainage flow into local storm drains, thereby improving stormwater quality by minimizing erosion and improving flow characteristics, and will elimine any nuisances currently existing. The list of locations (Exhibit "B") was generated from residents' telephone calls received by the Field Services Department and Transportation & Engineering Services Department, and were also areas identified by City staff as needing restoration. On July 11, 2000, the City Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized the advertisement for construction bids. On August 15, 2000, the City dlerk's office received bids for the project (Exhibit W). The Engineer's Estimate for the construction of this project is $150,000.00. On August 16, 2000, the City received a notice of bid withdrawal (Exhibit "C") via facsimile from Harry Minassian at Pacific Construction Company. The letter stated that a clerical error was made on the part of Pacific Construction Company when filling out the unit price for Item No. 1 of the bid schedule. Therefore, the contract price would change. After review of the associated bid documents and letter from Pacific Construction, staff and the City Attorney agreed that the bidder's withdrawal should be accepted. After review of the associated bid documents and references of the second lowest bidder, R.I.D. Builders, Inc., staff concluded faulty references provided in the bid documents by the second lowest bidder, as well as additional irregularities found in both the first and second lowest bidders' proposals. Awarding the construction contract bid to the third lowest bidder, or TA -11 011 R11011 s - =:4: 2000-2001 CITYWIDE CURB AND GUTTER FLOWLINE September 12, 2000 - Page 2 Kalban, Inc., would increase the contract bid amount by $28,050.00 and could cause a potential bid protest by the second lowest bidder for rejection of their bid. Therefore, staff recommends rejection of all previous bids and authorization to re -advertise for bids. A delay in the award of this contract will not create an additional burden to the public, and should allow staff to complete the project under the original budget and construction schedule.
