On July 24, 2001, City Council authorized advertising for bids. The project was advertised in the Easy Reader, Green Sheet (Construction News Reporter), and Bid America.

The bid results are as follows:

BIDDER

CITY

TOTAL BID AMOUNT

1. Damon Construction Co.

Carson, CA

$456,600.00

2. Palp, Inc. dba Excel Paving

Long Beach, CA

$468,915.00

Both bids are responsive. The price of the apparent low bidder, Damon Construction Co., is $33,400.00 (approximately 7%) below the engineer’s estimate of $490,000.

Staff has reviewed the low bidder’s documents and has found them to be in order. Additionally, Staff has verified the reference by calling the Cities of Azusa, Simi Valley and Thousand Oaks for whom the firm has done work.

Fiscal Impact :

The apparent low bid price of $456,600.00 plus the contingency of $50,000.00 brings the project construction budget to $506,600.00. Sufficient funds are available for construction, therefore, no additional appropriation is needed.
