The low bidder on the project was Semans Communications, Inc., at $12,030.14. The Semans
submittal, however, was incomplete in that it did not include Addendum #2, and did not comply with
sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the bid specifications. Addendum #2 included additional materials that directly
impact the amount of the bid. Sections 1.2 and 1.3 include requirements to submit the bid on the City
provided forms, a statement indicating that the proposal would be valid for 60 days as well as
requirements to include references and a statement of qualifications.
The lowest responsible bid was received from Johnson Controls and in the amount of $14,636.80. Staff
has reviewed the qualifications of Johnson Controls and has received favorable references from Apple
Computers and Chevron U.S.A. Johnson Controls does business nationwide and will coordinate this
project through its Pleasanton Office. Staff recommends the City Council adopt the resolution
rejecting the bid from Semans Communications Inc, and awarding the bid to Johnson Controls.
