Redevelopment Agency:
Adopt a resolution of the Agency requesting consent from the City Council to use Agency

landscaped parking lot, architectural design and construction support services, geotechnical
and soils testing services, construction staking, project support services, environmental
consulting services, construction inspection services, materials testing services, and labor

benefit to the Newhall Redevelopment Project Area as required by Section 33445 of the
California Redevelopment Law.
BACKGROUND
On November 22, 2005, the City Council approved the Downtown Newhall Specific Plan
(DNSP). During that meeting, the City Council also certified the Environmental Impact Report
that examined the many attributes of the DNSP's vision and determined the benefits of
0
implementing the plan would be substantial for the entire community. The DNSP was adopted to
transform Old Town Newhall into a thriving, mixed-use, pedestrian -oriented urban village with a
series of economic engines. The DNSP identifies a public library to visually anchor and define
the north end of Main Street.
After meeting with representatives from the City Council, Agency, and Newhall community, and
incorporating ideas from each, the City Council and Redevelopment Agency approved the
architectural design for the construction of a 30,000 -square -foot, two-story public library in Old
Town Newhall on May 11, 2010. The new library will be of steel moment frame construction,
certified as Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver, on a 2.45 -acre site,
including site grading and a landscaped parking lot.
On June 9, 2009, the City Council approved the resolution authorizing the City to apply for the
Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) to the United States Department of
Energy through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA). The City received grant
funds for several energy-efficient programs including $520,230 for the Old Town Newhall
Library.
The requested continuance of revenues in the amount of $519,654 in Revenue Account
229-4424.012 and continuance of their appropriation into Expenditure Account
F2007229-5161.001 from Fiscal Year 2009-10 to Fiscal Year 2010-11 represents residual grant
funds to be used for the energy-efficient portions of the library.
The first invitation to bid was published three times (August 15, August 18, and
August 22, 2010), and noticed to the City's Web site. Plans and specifications were also sent to
area plan rooms. Twenty-six bids were submitted to the City and opened by Purchasing on
September 16, 2010. When the bids were reviewed by staff, it was found that the low bidder and
several other bidders did not submit certain documents required. On October 12, 2010, the
Redevelopment Agency rejected all bids and directed staff to re -advertise for bids on this project.
A second invitation to bid was published three times (October 17, October 20, and
October 24, 2010), and noticed to the City's Web site. Plans and specifications were also sent to
area plan rooms. Twenty-one bids were submitted to the City and opened by Purchasing on
November 15, 2010. The results are shown below:

On December 2, 2010, FEI Enterprises Inc. (FEI) submitted the attached letter of protest. In the
letter, FEI makes reference to certain information that was supposedly not included in the Tobo
Construction, Inc. (Toho), bid. The City Attorney and staff reviewed the bid submitted by Tobo
and the FEI letter and determined the following:
In paragraph l.a., FEI claimed that on page C8, Tobo failed to discuss a fourth individual,
Yeoung Sik Kim. This individual was disassociated from Tobo on March 18, 2008.
2. In paragraph Lb., FEI claimed that on page C9, Tobo failed to disclose a DBA. The
individual and associated DBA company Aeon was disassociated from Tobo
on March 18, 2008.
3. In paragraph I.e., FEI claimed that on page C10, Tobo left "type of firm" blank. The type of
firm was correctly indicated as "corporate."
4. In paragraph l .d., FEI claimed that on page C13, Tobo left "have" or "have not" blank. The
"have" was properly checked.
The irregularities, if any, cited by FEI are minor and inconsequential and do not affect the
amount of the Tobo bid, do not give Tobo an advantage or benefit not allowed other bidders,
and do not make the Tobo bid materially different than intended. Therefore, the City Attorney
and staff recommend that these minor and inconsequential irregularities, if any, in the Tobo
bid, be waived.
Staff recommends the project be awarded to Tobo Construction, Inc., the lowest responsive
bidder. This contractor possesses a valid state contractor's license and is in good standing with
the Contractors State License Board. The contractor's bid was reviewed for accuracy and
conformance to the contract documents and was found to be complete except for the minor
irregularities referenced above, which may be waived.
In addition to the scope of work in the bid documents, the City will improve an additional 1,500
square feet of second floor space by negotiated contract change order. These improvements will
add another study room, lounge seating, 14 computers, and study tables, while expanding the
cultural quiet room. Adequate funds for this work are included in the contingency.
9
Staff recommends increasing expenditure authority of LPA, Inc., by $410,000, Allan Seward
Engineering by $40,000, and Pinnacle Land Surveying, Inc., by $30,000, for architectural design
and construction support, geotechnical and soils testing, and construction staking during this
phase of construction. These consultants have provided services in the design and rough grading
phases of the library project and continuation of these consultants' services is key in providing
consistency during the construction phase.
To ensure efficient and proper procedures in environmental consulting and materials testing,
costs for these services were anticipated and identified in the library construction budget.
Proposals and qualifications have been reviewed by staff for each of the respective services. Staff
recommends awarding the environmental consulting services contract to Jacob & Hefner
Associates, Inc., in the amount of $50,000 and the materials testing services contract to BTC
Labs Vertical V in the amount of $150,000.
Due to the complexity of this project, staff recommends continuing the professional services
contract with MNS Engineers, Inc., to provide construction inspection and support for a contract
amount of $470,000. This company has successfully provided similar services to the City,
employs a large pool of knowledgeable staff, and has experience working in close coordination
with City staff.
Labor compliance services are currently being performed by City staff. However, the Old Town
Newhall Library is multi -dimensional in scope and use of an outside consultant on this project
will allow the City's Interim Labor Compliance Specialist to efficiently monitor the more than 65
active construction projects and maintenance contracts. Therefore, staff recommends that labor
compliance for this project be performed by the City's labor compliance consultant, Padilla &
Associates, Inc., for a contract amount of $50,000.
The City is maintaining a construction office in Downtown Newhall using an existing building
within the construction limits. This office is being shared by the Old Town Newhall Streetscape
Phase II and Old Town Newhall Library projects. The office houses the project management
team, which includes personnel available to address questions and concerns from the business
community.
Adequate funds have been appropriated for City staff time for construction management,
inspection, oversight, building permits, Web -based construction management software services,
furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the library, and the additional scope of work improvements
for the second floor of the library.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
Other action as determined by the Redevelopment Agency or City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
Adequate funds have been appropriated into Newhall Library Expenditure Account
F2007390-5161.001. The requested continuance of revenues in the amount of $519,654 in
Revenue Account 229-4424.012 and appropriation into Expenditure Account
5
F2007229-5161.001 will adequately provide for anticipated costs to implement energy-efficient
amenities to the project.

Re: Old Town Newhall Library BID# ENG-10-11-F2007390B
BID PROTEST of 1" and 2"d Place
To Whom It May Concern:
VIA CERTIFIED MAIL
FEI was in receipt and learned of 1" and 2"d place bidding documents for the above mentioned
project on 11/25/10. In reviewing the bid documents FEI would like to state its ground of protest
for each individual bidder as follows:
1. Tobo Construction
a. On page C8 of the bidding documents requests to identify "all individuals, firm
members, partners, joint ventures, and/or corporate officers having principal
interest in this proposal". Tobo listed 3 out of the 4 individuals listed under the
California State License Board (CSLB). The individual that was not listed is
"Yeong Sik Kim" with Title of "RMO/CEO/PRES". Please see attached sheets
attained on 11/29/10 from CSLB website.
b. On page C9 the bidding documents requests to identify "All current and prior
DBA's, Alia, and/or fictitious business names for any principal having interest in
this proposal..." Tobo has failed to list Acon Development hic License# 909943
which is currently active. Tobo has failed to list Yeong Sik Kim License# 623539
which is currently inactive. Please see attached sheets attained on 11/29/10 from
CSLB website.
c. On page C-10 Item 2 of the bidding documents requests "Type of Firm". This
Line was left blank by Tobo.
d. On page C-13 of the bidding documents "Equal Employment Opportunity
Certification" requests the bidder to identify if they "have" or "have not" filed
with the Joint Reporting Committee. This item was left blank by Tobo.
2. Pacwest Corp
a. On page C8 of the bidding documents requests to identify "all individuals, firm
members, partners, joint ventures, and/or corporate officers having principal
interest in this proposal". The name listed for President, Secretary, and Treasurer
is George Halabian. The personnel list attained by the CSLB website states that
Kyork Ahia Halabian has the Title of "RMO/CEO/PRES". The name on CSLB is
�5
inconsistent with the bid documents. Please see attached document attained from
CSLB website on 12/2/10.
b. On page C-10 Item 2 of the bidding documents requests "Type of Firm". This
Line was left blank by Pacwest.
c. On page C-13 of the bidding documents "Equal Employment Opportunity
Certification" requests the bidder to identify if they "have" or "have not" filed
with the Joint Reporting Committee. This item was left blank by International
Waterscapes and AHR Signs Inc.
d. On page C-13 of the bidding documents "Equal Employment Opportunity
Certification" requests the bidder to identify the "proposed subcontractor". This
item was left blank by and a check mark was place instead of the company name
which appears to be signed by S.McKendrick
e. Various C-13 pages within the bidding documents were filled out incomplete. The
first sentence of the page where it requests "This bidder..." to be identified was
left blank by the subcontractors who filed it out.
Based on the findings above, FEI declares that the bid documents of both 1" and 2"d place are
found to be incomplete, inconsistent, and irregular and therefore should be rejected based on
these grounds. FEI is in belief that the project shall be awarded FEI after these rejections are
made.
Please respond back in writing. FEI appreciates your efforts in entertaining this Protest of Bid.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best regards,
