BACKGROUND The annual overlay and slurry seal program is an integral part of the City's pavement management program. Each year, streets are evaluated and identified by the need for asphalt overlay and slurry seal maintenance treatments. The 2011-12 projects comprised of Project M0084, currently in construction and fully funded, and Project M0089, a new federal project and subject of this award, will overlay and resurface streets in various areas of the City. The treatments will provide a smoother ride for traffic, enhance the appearance of the roadway and surrounding area, and extend the life of the roadway. The 2011-12 Federal Overlay Program, Project M0089, will provide specifically for the repaving/overlay of Bouquet Canyon Road between Newhall Ranch Road and Magic Mountain Road. The project is planned to begin construction following the contract award. An invitation to bid for the 2011-12 Federal Overlay Program, Project M0089, was prepared and published three times (August 28, September 2, and September 5, 2012), and noticed on the City's website. Plans and specifications were sent to area plan rooms. Eight bids were submitted to the City and opened by Purchasing on September 25, 2012. The results of the bids are shown below: Companv Silvia Construction Toro Enterprises, Inc. Sully -Miller Contracting Company All American Asphalt Palp, Inc., DBA Excel Paving Company C.A. Rasmussen Inc. Hardy & Harper, Inc. Granite Construction Location Bid Amount Rancho Cucamonga, CA $1,156,491.54 Oxnard, CA $1,244,955.74 Brea, CA $1,258,367.55 Corona, CA $1,311,000.00 Long Beach, CA $1,328,741.10 Valencia, CA $1,335,812.10 Santa Ana, CA $1,345,000.00 Watsonville, CA $1,669,200.00 The apparent low bidder, Silvia Construction, sent a letter to the City requesting to withdraw its bid, due to clerical errors. The City Attorney's Office has reviewed the request by Silvia Construction to withdraw their bid and found the request is legally sufficient. Upon review of the bids, staff recommends awarding the construction contract to the next lowest responsive bidder, Toro Enterprises, Inc., who possesses a State contractor's license and is in good standing with the Contractors State License Board. The bid from Toro Enterprises, Inc., was reviewed for accuracy and conformance to the contract documents and found to be complete. I While the City maintains a "Support of Local Businesses" policy that can be utilized by the City Council when warranted, the City is governed by the State Public Contract Code with regard to public works project procurement. In these types of procurement, the Public Contract Code does not permit a City to utilize a "Support of Local Businesses" policy and instead requires the contract be awarded to the "lowest responsible bidder." As confirmed by the City Attorney's Office, this direction precludes the City from applying any superseding criteria for award except in the case of a tie. Thus, in the awarding of Public Works contracts, the City is not permitted to award to a bidder just because they are local, as the State Public Contract Code does not allow the City to recognize them as the "lowest" responsible bidder. Two paving projects, Projects M0077 and M0083, have project savings of $250,000 and $22,321, respectively, that will be transferred to Project M0089. Additionally, Project M0084, currently in construction and fully funded, has $600,000 in federal funds available to transfer to Project M0089. Lastly, the requested transfer of $637,131 of local funds from Project M0090 will fully fund Project M0089. The requested transfers appropriately make use of all available federal and local funds for this overlay and slurry seal project. Project funds in the amount of $140,000 are available for construction management, survey, material testing, design support, quality assurance, labor compliance, staff oversight, and miscellaneous project administration costs. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Other action as determined by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT Staff is asking the City Council to create a new project and budget for Project M0089 Staff requests continuances of funds from Fiscal Year 2011-12 to Fiscal Year 2012-13 of $600,00 and $22,321 in expenditure accounts M0084202-5161.00 and M0083233-5161.001, and their respective transfers to M0089202-5161.001 and M0089233-5161.001. In addition, the requested transfers of $250,000 from expenditure account M0077233-5161.001 and $637,131 from expenditure account M0090233-5161.001 to M0089233-5161.001 creates a total budget of $1,509,452 for the 2011-12 Overlay Federal Program, Project M0089, that will adequately provide for all anticipated construction costs.
