Approve the plans and specifications for the Sierra Highway Median Refurbishment, Project B3005. 2. Reject the nonresponsive bid from Oakridge Landscape, Inc. 3. Award the construction contract to KASA Construction Inc. in the amount of $484,341 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $72,652 for a total contract amount not to exceed $556,993. 4. Authorize the City Manager or designee to execute all contracts and associated documents, or modify the awards in the event issues of impossibility of performance arise, contingent upon the appropriation of funds by the City Council in the annual budget for such fiscal year, and execute all documents subject to City Attorney approval. BACKGROUND This project will install landscape, hardscape, and irrigation in the existing medians along Sierra Highway, between Friendly Valley Parkway and Via Princessa. The improvements for the project are completely within the City's jurisdiction and outside of Caltrans right-of-way. Caltrans right-of-way is between Friendly Valley Parkway and Newhall Avenue, and between Via Princessa and the State Route 14 Northbound off -ramp. The project is also part of the City's adopted Capital Improvement Program and will help the City accomplish its beautification efforts on all major roadways. This project exemplifies the City's commitment to maintaining the high quality of life enjoyed by Santa Clarita residents. This landscape design is certified and compliant with Assembly Bill 1881, the state law regarding water efficiency. Investing in high-quality landscape projects within the public right-of-way helps maintain higher property values and keeps the City on water management's cutting edge. An invitation to bid was prepared and published three times: January 13, January 19, and January 22, 2013, and was noticed on the City's website. Plans and specifications were also sent to area plan rooms. Nine bids were submitted to the City and opened by Purchasing on February 28. The results of the bids are shown below: Comnanv Location Bid Amount Oakridge Landscape, Inc. Valencia, CA $479,999.28 KASA Construction Inc. Ontario, CA $484,340.65 R.C. Becker & Son, Inc. Santa Clarita, CA $496,521.69 Diversified Landscape Corona, CA $512,376.42 FS Construction Sylmar, CA $524,680.45 ARC Construction Co. La Crescenta, CA $528,778.00 American Landscape Canoga Park, CA $537,382.43 G2K Construction Encino, CA $576,932.00 Marina Landscape Anaheim, CA $599,321.80 After reviewing the submitted bids, City staff, with assistance from the City Attorney, determined the bid from the apparent low bidder, Oakridge Landscape, Inc., (Oakridge) to be nonresponsive due to a mistake by Oakridge in filling out the bid. Bid Item 19 is for a one -inch Meter Connection with Appurtenances with a quantity of two. The bid by Oakridge changes the quantity on Bid Item 19 from two to one with a handwritten interlineation reading "1 per Addendum #2." However, Addendum #2 does not reduce the connections from two to one. The instructions to Bidders Item 5 Irregular Proposals, per the bid document, clearly states, "the completed proposal forms shall be without interlineations, alterations, or erasures. Alternative proposals will not be considered unless specifically requested." The unit price submitted by Oakridge on Bid Item 19 is $10,551 and, for the quantity of one, the extended price is $10,551. However, with the correct unit quantity of two, the extended price on Bid Item 19 would be $21,102, which would increase Oakridge's bid total to $490,550.28 making Oakridge's bid higher than KASA Construction's bid of $484,340.65. The City Attorney has advised City staff that such arithmetical errors in filling out a bid may not be waived by the City, and, therefore, Oakridge's bid should be rejected as nonresponsive. The City sent a letter to Oakridge on March 11, 2013, (copy attached) in which the City stated staff would recommend the City Council find the Oakridge bid to be nonresponsive as stated above. In response, Oakridge sent a letter to the City dated March 18, 2013, (copy attached) stating Oakridge's position is that Addendum 42 reduced the connections on Line Item 19 from two to one. City Addendum 42 did not revise the bid schedule or quantity shown, therefore, Oakridge is incorrect and the contractor is still responsible for making two waterline connections for the project. Staff continues to recommend the City Council find the bid by Oakridge to be nonresponsive. IN Staff recommends the City Council reject Oakridge's bid as nonresponsive and award the construction contract to KASA Construction Inc. the second lowest responsive bidder, in the amount of $484,341 and authorize a contingency in the amount of $72,652 for a total contract amount not to exceed $556,993. KASA Construction Inc. 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 found to be complete. The construction contingency amount requested will cover the cost of unforeseen site conditions, such as the removal of existing pavement and base material, and suitable soil replacement for planting in the existing medians. Adequate funds have been budgeted to provide for labor compliance services, staff oversight, construction engineering, landscape architectural construction support for Valley Crest Design Group, quality assurance inspection services, and project administration costs necessary to complete the project. The funds for this project are from Landscape Maintenance District 1, Zone 2008-1 (Major Median Thoroughfares) and may only be used on landscaped medians on the City's major thoroughfares. 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 California 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 other bidders just because they are local, as the Public Contract Code does not allow the City to recognize them as the "lowest" responsible bidder. ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS Reject all bids and re -advertise as determined by City Council. FISCAL IMPACT The current budget provides adequate funds for all project costs. ATTACHMENTS Kasa Construction Inc.

On Sheets Ll -1 and Ll -3, in the P.O.C. SYSTEM callout boxes, under Backflow Device, replace Watts 009PCQTS with Watts BIC -1000. II, BIDDERS QUESTIONS The following are City's answers to questions submitted by prospective bidders: 1. Will traffic control materials be allowed to be left in the medians overnight? Or will the contractor be responsible for a full setup and take down of traffic control items every day during construction? Some traffic control devices may be left in the medians overnight as approved by City representative. Contractor will be responsible for the traffic control setup and take down during construction when lane closures are warranted. No traffic control devices shall be left in the roadway and no lane closures will be allowed outside of project work hours. 2. Will traffic control be required during the 180 -day landscape establishment period? Traffic control will not be required unless contractor deems it necessary 3. The irrigation equipment legend states to install a Watts BIC -1000 Station at the irrigation point of connections shown on plan sheets LI -1 & LI -3. When referencing the individual POC #1 & 92 callouts on plan sheets LI -1 & LI -3, it is stating to install a Watts 009PCQTS Backflow Preventer. Please clam which is correct. If the Watts BIC -1000 is to be installed, why would an additional master valve and flow sensor be required downstream (the Watts BIC -1000 already includes a master valve and flow sensor)? If additional Superior master valve is required, please specify model # as there is no indication on the irrigation legend. Page 1 Addendum 2 Contractor to use model Watts BIC -1000 for Backflow Preventer in POC #l. No additional master valve or flow sensor is required with this model. Backflow Preventer in POC #2 will be installed by the City prior to construction. Contractor will be required to connect to existing main lines from the existing backflow preventer and from the existing controller for wiring. 4. The irrigation legend on plan sheet LI -6 indicates that the control valves are to be Superior series, Please indicate what model # is to be used as there are many different types of Superior control valves. All control valves should be Superior 950DW valves. 5. The individual irrigation POC callouts on plan sheets LI -1 d LI -3 state that the system is reclaimed water. The irrigation legend does not indicate that purple pipe is to be used, which is typical for a reclaimed water system. Will purple irrigation pipe be required on this project? No reclaimed water will be used on this project. No purple irrigation pipe will be required. Bidders shall acknowledge Addendum No. 2 by executing Bidders Certificate for Addendum 2 and returning Bidders Certificate: with the bid. Robert G.

Corona Ave. Ontario, Ca 91764 Dear Mr. Kasbar, It is with great pleasure that I write this testimonial for Kasa Construction. As Vice President of Construction for LCC3 Construction Services, Inc, I have been afforded the opportunity to benefit firsthand from the talents of the Kasa Construction project team. This testimonial is best exemplified in the following example. In June of 2010 Kasa Construction started a project for the Pomona Unified School District which was being managed by me as owner's agent. This project consisted of reconstructing a hill slope which had started to fail and was causing damage to one of the district's elementary school campuses. The project was scheduled to complete under a tight time line and reduced budget. Larry Edwards, Project Superintendant, and his support team's relentless commitment to cost containment; schedule recovery and customer satisfaction truly made the difference in the successful completion of the above mentioned project. I am pleased to share that not only did the project complete under budget, but do to Mr. Edward's commitment to the success of the project it came in on schedule with no disruption to any school programs. Kasa Construction's project team always searched for the best solution whenever possible and kept the goal of the project in sight. I found the project team to be professional, courteous, and very organized. I have added Kasa Construction to our contractor list and I look forward to working with the Kasa Construction team in the near future.

After reviewing your bid and consulting with the City Attorney's Office, City staff has determined the bid submitted by Oakridge Landscape, Inc., (Oakridge) is not responsive to the bid documents, due to a mistake by Oakridge in filling out the bid. Bid Item 19 is for a one -inch Meter Conneation with Appurtenances with a quantity of two. The bid by Oakridge changes the quantity on Bid Item 19 from two to one with a handwritten interlineation reading "1 per addendum # 2". However, Addendum 2 does not reduce the connections from two to one. The unit price submitted by Oakridge on Bid Item 19 is $10,551 and, for the quantity of one, the extended price is $10,551. However, with the correct unit quantity of two, the extended price on Bid Item 19 would be $21,102, which would increase the Oakridge bid total to $490,550.28 making the Oakridge bid higher than the bid submitted by KASA Construction, Inc., of $484,340.65, The City Attorney has advised City Staff such arithmetical errors in filling out a bid may not be waived by the City, and therefore, the Oakridge bid should be rejected as non- responsive. City staff intends to recommend the City Council reject your bid as nonresponsive for the reason stated above during its meeting on March 26, 2013, at 6:00 p.m., at 23920 Valencia Boulevard, Santa Clarita, CA 91355 and award the contract on this project to KASA Construction, Inc, If you wish, you may appear at the City Council meeting to present your position. If you would like to submit a written response to this letter, please do so by Monday, March 18, 2013, and it will be provided to the City Council along with its agenda packet. The City of Santa Clarita will release your bid bond following action by the City Council on the award of the bid. Thank you again for submitting a bid for the subject project, Mr. Jeffrey Myers March, 11, 2013 Page 2 If you have any questions, please contact Curtis Nay, Assistant City Engineer, at (661) 284-4135.

Pierik, Assistant City Attorney A March 18, 2013 Mr. Robert G. Newman Director of Public Works City of Santa Clarita 23920 Valencia Blvd. #300 Santa Clarita, CA 91355-2196 Regarding: Sierra Highway Streetscene Bid Number ENG -12-13-133005 Dear Mr. Newman: Please consider this our written response to your letter dated March 11, 2013 rejecting our bid on the project referenced above. We disagree with your ruling for the reason listed below. Per Addendum #2, Item #3, POC #2 was to be supplied and installed by the City. This reduces the quantity required to one instead of two, which is why we corrected the pre-printed quantity on Line Item #19 of the bid form. Since the backflow in POC #2 includes the flow meter and the master valve, the balance of the installation of POC #2 requires only minimal quantities of wire and mainline, which we included in Line Items #21 and #24. For the reasons above we feel you should not add the additional quantity back to Line #19 of the bid, which would not increase the dollar amount of that line item, or to the total of the bid. Please reconsider our original proposal as it stands, and forward a copy of this letter to the City Council to be discussed at the council meeting on March 26, 2013. Sincerely, OAKR1DCyE LANDSCAPE, INC Jeff ey NUrs President JM:sm
