DISCUSSION:
On August 23, 1999, the City Council authorized the award of Balboa Peninsula
Gateway Park, Lido Gateway Park, and Sound Wall Landscape Improvements contract
to Golden Bear Arborists, Inc., of Monrovia, California. The contract provided for the
construction of two landscaped sites known as Balboa Peninsula Gateway Park and
Lido Gateway Park near the intersection of Newport Boulevard and Via Lido. The
contract has now been completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department
with the exception of the City Logo and signage on the wall. The contractor was unable
to provide the required lettering for the walls and requested relief from the City for this
item. Staff concurred and deducted the full lump sum bid item of $3,360 for the logos
and signs that were installed. A summary of the contract cost is as follows:
Original bid amount: $310,494.05
Actual amount of bid items constructed: 312,301.51
Total amount of change orders: 12,458.29
Final contract cost: $324,759.80
The increase in the amount of actual bid items constructed over the original bid amount
resulted from quantity increases exceeding the bid item quantities. The final overall
construction cost including change orders was 4.6% over the original bid amount.
