DISCUSSION:
On February 21, 2001, bids were opened for the Newport Dunes Storm Water
Diversion project. GCI Construction, Inc., of Costa Mesa, California, was the
successful low bidder. The contract provided for the construction of 188 lineal feet of
8 -inch storm drain pipe and two manholes to divert nuisance flows from an existing
18 -inch storm drain into an 15 -inch sanitary sewer. The contract has now been
completed to the satisfaction of the Public Works Department. A summary of the
contract costs is as follows:
Original bid amount: $54,920
Actual amount of bid items constructed: 49,781
Total amount of change orders: 10,284
Final contract cost: $60,065
The decrease in the amount of actual bid items constructed under the original bid
amount resulted from a revised storm drain alignment resulting in a reduced storm
drain length less than the bid item quantities. The final overall construction cost,
including change orders, was 9.37 percent over the original bid amount.
