DESCRIPTION: At its meeting of October 29, 1990, the City Council
authorized Staff to advertise for bids for Contract 90-10 Pedestrian Signal
Handicap Modification.
In Fiscal Year 1989-90, a survey of the location of pedestrian signal push
buttons was undertaken at the City Council's direction. Those able to be
rectified by simply moving the button lower on the signal poles were
retrofitted through the City's maintenance contract with Alameda County.
The remainder, which includes new or relocated stand-alone pushbuttons or
the removal of curbs, are included in this project. These improvements
would provide handicap access to all the City's traffic signal system
pushbuttons.
The City received a total of 4 bids (see attached bid summary) for this
project. The low bidder was Richard Sawdon with a bid of $17,480. Mr.
Sawdon has stated that he made an error in calculating his bid and has
requested to withdraw the bid and bid bond. Staff has reviewed Mr. Sawdon's
submittal and feels Mr. Sawdon did make a substantial mathematical error and
that the request is justifiable. The second low bidder is Community
Electric with a bid of $23,360, which is 76% above the engineer's estimate.
The two lowest bids indicate a very high unit price ($17.00 and $34.00 per
square foot respectively) on Bid Item No.4, which consists of pouring two
concrete pads to allow wheelchair-bound persons to access the pushbuttons at
the Amador Valley Boulevard/Stagecoach Road intersection. It is assumed
that the unit price is high because this is essentially an electrical
contract and the amount of concrete work is minimal. If this item were
eliminated, the bid price would still be somewhat over the construction
budget but would be much closer. The concrete work could be included with
the annual sidewalk repair program, for which the bids for concrete sidewalk
typically come in at about $4.50 per square foot. The annual sidewalk
repair project is anticipated to go to bid at the end of January, 1991.
Staff recommends that the City Council reject all of the bids and authorize
Staff to re-bid the Pedestrian Signal Handicap Modification project,
eliminating the concrete pad item from the specification.

RE: Handicapped Si~nal Modification Bid 11-29-90
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to advise you that after careful review of my bid
for the above project I have discovered a significant
mathematical error in my calculations.
Because of this I am
hereby requesting that my bid and bidders bond be withdrawn
for this project.
Sincerely)
