PROJECT NO. 003-99 GOLDEN AVE. STREET IMPROVEMENTS
AWARD OF CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT

 

Recommendation:

It is recommended that the City Council:

1. Award the construction contract for Project No. 003-99 Golden Avenue Street Improvement Project to EC Construction of So. El Monte in the amount of $13,955.00;
2. Authorize the Mayor to execute and the City Clerk to attest the construction contract subject to approval by the City Attorney; and
3. Authorize the Director of Public Works to make minor changes as necessary not to exceed $ 1,400.00.

 

Background:

On July 25, Council authorized Staff to advertise for bids. The project was advertised in the Easy Reader and Green Sheet (Construction News Reporter). A total of seven bid packages were picked up. The City Clerk received four bids by the closing date of August 31, 2000. The bids were publicly opened and read aloud. The bid results are as follows:

 

        Bidder Name                       City         Total Bid Amount

1. EC Construction              So. El Monte      $13,955.00

2. Cancino Construction      Long Beach       $15,524.56

3. Fleming Environmental    Buena Park        $21,760.00

4. Sully-Miller Contractors    Anaheim             $24,735.00

The engineer’s estimate is $18,600. The apparent low bidder, EC Construction, is 25% lower than the engineer’s estimate.

 

Analysis

Staff has reviewed the low bidder documents and has found them to be in order. The reference check on EC Construction has been conducted and the firm is found to be satisfactory.

 

Fiscal Impact:

The funds are available for construction in the FY 2000-01, account number 001-3104-4201, in the amount of $25,000. The low bid price of $13,955.00 plus 10% contingency of $1,400.00 brings the construction project budget to $15,355.00.

 

Alternatives

1. Approve staff’s recommendation.
2. Reject all bids. Send back to staff for downscope of project.
3. Take no action.
