BACKGROUND
On June 2, 2004, the City Clerk's office received the following bids for the project:
Company Bid Amount Location
Banshee Construction, Inc. $5,335,849.00 Colton, CA
MCM Construction, Inc. $5,499,648.00 North Highlands, CA
C.A. Rasmussen, Inc. $6,100,355.00 Simi Valley, CA
The lowest responsive bid was submitted by Banshee Construction Company, Inc. in the amount
of $5,335,849.00. Staff recommends that the project be awarded to Banshee Construction
Company, Inc., the lowest responsive bidder. Banshee Construction Company, Inc, possesses a
State contractor's license and is in good standing with the State Contractor's License Board. The
bid of $5,335,849.00 was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and
was found to be complete. References were checked and indicated that this contractor has
performed work that met their customers' goals.
On April 5, 2004, the City received authorization from the California Department of
Transportation (Caltrans) to proceed with the call for bids and construction for this Highway
Bridge Replacement and Rehabilitation (HBRR) program bridge widening. The HBRR program
will reimburse the City 80 percent of the bridge construction and construction support under this
program.
This project will widen the Bouquet Canyon Road Bridge over the Santa Clara River from the
current six lanes to the ultimate eight lanes with a raised median and Class I Bike Lane on the
east side of the bridge. Also, other trail improvements include extending a Class I Bike Trail
from the north side of the river west of the bridge under the bridge to the east side of the bridge
connecting to a future Class I Trail on the east side of Bouquet Canyon Road. Trail funds and a
developer contribution will cover the costs of the Class I Bike Trail.
A Mitigated Negative Declaration was prepared for the project and a Notice of Determination
was filed in 2001, thereby meeting the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA). Also, a Categorical Exclusion (CE), pursuant to the National Environmental Policy
Act (NEPA), was completed for the Bouquet Canyon Road Bridge project on
December 20, 2001.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
$2,871,279.00 in federal and B&T funds are currently available in the project's budget, but this
amount is not sufficient to fully fund the project. This action will appropriate additional funds
for project expenditures in the amount of $ 3,613,266.00, and will transfer $122,635.00 to the
project's budget. If this item is approved, the total funds available for the Bouquet Canyon Road
Bridge project will be $6,607,180.00.
