Low Bid Received: $ 510,478.91 Previous low bid: $528,408.35 Engineer's Estimate: $ 462,600.00 Budgeted Project Cost: San Ramon Rd. & Amador Valley Blvd. Arroyo Vista Total Design and Inspection: $ 43,500 $ 22,400 $ 65,900 Construction: 286,500 ~.05,600 392~100 Total: $ 330,000 $].28,000 $ 458,000 A budget transfer will not be needed this year even though the bid is almost $120,000 over the budgeted amount. The $65,000 budgeted for Kimball Avenue soundwalls will not be used this year; and a good portion of the $96,000 budgeted for construction of the wooden soundwalls will extend into the next fiscal year. 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. When the project was first bid, the two bids received were substantially in excess of the amount budgeted for construction; therefore, the bids were rejected and the project re-advertised. Changes were made in the project by lowering some of the walls by 8" and allowing the panels to step in less than 8" increments; an allowance to change the dark brown fluted blocks te split-face accent blocks; a reduction in the required Minority Business subcontractors; and an allowance for the contractor to be able to subcontract out over one-half of the work. The low bid this time is $17,929.44 less than the first bid. In checking with the two precast contractors that we expected to bid on the project, Staff was told that one has a personal problem in which some assets were frozen, reducing his bonding capacity. The other claims that he could not beat the price the City received on the first bid. The only alternative to accepting this bid would be to reject both bids and include a new wall design within the San Ramon Road Phase III project. This new design would be a precast concrete wall which would require periodic painting to keep the two contrasting colors on the wall. The City received a two bids (see attached bid summary) for this project. The low bidder was B & B Concrete with a bid of $510,478.91. Staff has reviewed the low bidder's proposal and checked with references and recommends that the City Council award the bid to the low bidder. - 2 - RESOLUTION NO. 88- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF DUBLIN AWARDING CONTRACT 88-1 MAJOR ARTERIALS SOUNDWALLS TO B & B CONCRETE WHEtLEAS, the City of Dublin did, on March 30, 1988, publicly open, examine, and declare all sealed bids for doing the work described in the approved Plans, Specifications, and Modifications for Contract 88-1A Major Arterials Soundwalls, authorized by the City Council on January 25, 1988, which Plans, Specifications, and Modifications are hereby expressly referred to for a description of said work and for all particulars relative to the proceedings under the request for bids; and WHEREAS, said bids were submitted to the City Engineer, who has recommended that the bid hereinafter mentioned is the lowest and best bid for doing said work.
