The work consists of asphalt grind and overlay including adjusting utility covers, concrete removal and replacement, base repair, crack sealing, reinstalling the traffic striping and markings in various areas of South San Francisco.
Staff advertised a notice inviting bids for the project on February 28 and March 6, 2020 and posted the Notice Inviting Bids on e-Bidboard. On April 17, 2020, staff received five (5) bids in response. Public Works contracts are ordinarily awarded to the lowest responsible bidder whose bid is responsive to the solicitation. (Public Contract Code §20166). The lowest responsible bidder was G. Bortolotto & Co., Inc. of San Carlos, 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.
