RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Council adopt a resolution awarding a construction contract to Golden Bay Construction, Inc. of Hayward, California for the ADA Curb Ramp Replacement Project (Project No. st1903) in an amount not to exceed $206,127 and authorizing a total construction budget of $267,966.
Body
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The ADA Curb Ramps Replacement Project will install 41 accessible curb ramps, in various areas of the City, in advance of streets that are scheduled for paving in 2019-20. Federal law requires that any street scheduled for repaving shall have American Disability Act (ADA) ramps installed at every intersection that has new pavement. The 41 ramps are in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) eligible service areas.
Staff advertised a notice inviting new bids for the project on December 6, 2018, and December 13, 2018. On December 20, 2018, staff received four bids in response. The lowest responsible bidder was Golden Bay Construction, Inc. of Hayward, California. Staff has verified the low bidder’s current contractor’s license with the California State Licensing Board and found it to be in good standing.
Public Works construction contracts are awarded to the lowest responsible bidder whose base bid is responsive to the solicitation. (Public Contract Code §20166.) The project has a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 0.5% since federal funds are being utilized.
The following is a summary of all bids received for base bid:
Base Bid Amount
Golden Bay Construction, Inc. of Hayward, California $102,507
Rosas Brothers Construction of Oakland, California $131,200
J.J.R. Construction, Inc. of San Mateo, California $150,190
Sposeto Engineering, Inc. of Pasadena, California $165,530
The Engineer’s estimate for base bid is $153,180.
The following is a summary of all bids received for alternate bid:
Alternate Bid Amount
Golden Bay Construction, Inc. of Hayward, California $103,620
Rosas Brothers Construction of Oakland, California $133,400
J.J.R. Construction, Inc. of San Mateo, California $146,872
Sposeto Engineering, Inc. of Pasadena, California $144,000
The Engineer’s estimate for alternate bid is $169,050.
The Engineer’s estimate for base bid and alternate bid is $322,230.
Staff recommends awarding both the base bid and alternate bid amounts since their total amount is below the total engineer’s estimate and there are sufficient funds available to cover the Alternate Bid item.
The project budget is:
Golden Bay Construction Contract $206,127
Construction Contingency (25%) $ 51,532
Construction Management Construction Administration (5%) $ 10,307
Total Project Budget $267,966
The construction contingency will be used for any additional costs related to project changes during the construction operations.
FUNDING
This project is funded by Community Development Block Grants, gas tax fund, and Measure A funds. The project is included in the South San Francisco’s Fiscal Year 2017-18 Capital Improvement Program (Project No. st1903) with sufficient funds allocated to cover the project cost.
CONCLUSION
Awarding the construction contract to Golden Bay Construction, Inc. of Hayward, California, for the ADA Curb Ramp Replacement Project will allow ADA ramps to be installed in compliance with Federal requirements prior to streets being paved during the next several years.
