DESCRIPTION:
At its meeting of January 25, 1988, the City Council authorized
Staff to advertise for bids for Contract 88-1, Major Arterials Soundwalls.
This project is a combination of portions of two projects in the
Capital Improvement Program budget, one being the masonry wall along the
east side of San Ramon Road and the replacement of wooden fences on Amador
Valley Boulevard, the second being the masonry soundwall along the Arroyo
Vista housing project frontage on Dougherty Road.
The City received a total of 2 bids (see attached bid summary)
for this project. The low bidder was B & B Concrete with a bid of
$528,408.35, which is considerably over the estimate and funds budgeted for
the project. Staff's estimate was based on other recent projects done in
neighboring cities.
Staff has contacted two other precast contractors regarding the
project. In speaking with one of these, he indicated that he was just
finishing up a contract and was short of bonding capacity but stated that he
would bid if the project was readvertised.
Staff recommends that the City Council reject bids submitted and
authorize re-advertising the project. Neither of the general contractors
who submitted bids does masonry work; both intended to subcontract this
portion of the job and may therefore not be performing the required 50% of
the contract themselves. Additionally, because of the type of subcontractor
work, the contractors had trouble meeting the 10% DBE goal.
In readvertising the project, Staff would make the masonry work
a specialt~ fee item, which then exempts it from the the 50% requirement for
the prime contractor, and would also lower the DBE requirement to better
reflect th~ available subcontract work. Staff is also interviewing the
contractors on the planholders list to see if other areas of work could be
changed to reduce the bid price.
