Memorandum from Public Works Director Harold Williams dated September 15, 1998. Supplemental letter from H.A. Lewis, Inc., General Contractors, protesting the bid award to any of the three lowest bidders. Supplemental letter in response to the letter from H.A. Lewis from City Attorney Michael Jenkins dated September 22, 1998.

This item was removed from the consent calendar by Councilmember Reviczky for separate discussion later in the meeting.

Public Works Director Williams presented the staff report and responded to Council questions saying that in staff's opinion the three low bidders' omission of the percentage of work to be performed by sub-contractors, the disqualification alleged by H.A. Lewis, amounted to an informality that could be waived by the Council as the work was apportioned by trade therefore the percentage of work to be performed by the general contractors could and was easily determined. Mr. Williams said that it had been verified that the low bidder, ARB, will perform more than 45 percent of the work itself.

City Attorney Jenkins spoke to his letter and responded to Council questions. Mr. Jenkins said that he did not agree with the conclusions formed by H.A. Lewis in its protest and that Council had three options;

1. consider the omissions an informality, waive the informality and award the bid to ARB, the lowest bidder;
2. reject the three lowest bids and award the contract to H.A. Lewis; or,
3. reject all bids and re-bid the project.

Coming forward to address the Council on this item was:

James Guerrero, P.E. - Project Construction Manager for the Parking Structure, stated that on behalf of the City he had checked on all projects completed within the last few years by ARB and had talked to all employers who had contracted with ARB; said there were no major complaints and that no substitutions had been attempted. Mr. Guerrero said that ARB had completed some major parking structures including one at Cedars-Sinai Hospital.

Public Works Director Williams said that the omitted information was not a mistake that would have affected the contract price or entitled the bidder to withdraw its bid under State law.

Mr. Williams concluded by saying that the low bidder was not asked to clarify or reaffirm its bid; the City would not allow the bid to be withdrawn; and, staff intended to strictly enforce the requirement that a minimum of 35 percent of the work be performed by the general contractor. The omitted information, therefore, could not have given the low bidder an advantage over other bidders.

Action: On the findings stated by staff above, to waive the informality and to approve the staff recommendation to:

1. authorize the Award of Parking Construction Contract to ARB, INC. CONSTRUCTORS of Lake Forest, California in the amount of $4,701,900;
2. authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the Construction Contract subject to approval of the City Attorney;
3. direct the City Clerk to reject all other bids and release all bid bonds after award by the City Council; and,
4. authorize the Director of Public Works to issue change orders as necessary within budget.

Motion Reviczky, second Edgerton. The motion carried by a unanimous vote.
