Award Contract No. 3787 to Belaire -West Landscape, Inc. for the Total Price of $357,000 and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract. 3. Establish an amount of $35,700 to cover the cost of unforeseen work. 4. Approve Budget Amendment appropriating $44,950 to Account No. 7459- C5100867 for Mesa -Birch Park and increasing revenue estimates by $44,950 representing additional funding from the County of Orange Santa Ana Heights Redevelopment Project Area. DISCUSSION: In August 2006, the City advertised this project (formerly known as Upper Bay View Park) for bids in advance of an executed Property Conveyance Agreement (PCA) between the City and the County of Orange. Due to the delayed PCA, the City had to reject all of the received bids. Since then, arrangements have been made with the County of Orange to allow the City to construct and maintain the park improvements. Accordingly, staff re- advertised the project for bids. At 10:00 a.m. on September 13, 2007, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for this project: BIDDER Low Belaire -West Landscape, Inc. 2nd Green Giant Landscape, Inc. 3`d Pima Construction 4th Topline Construction, Inc. 5th Hondo Company, Inc. 6th Bonsall Construction Services TOTAL BID AMOUNT $357,000.00 $358,800.00 $375,650.00 $437,500.00 $464,920.00. $523,000.00 Mesa - Birch Park —Award of contract No. 3787 October 9, 2007 Page: 2 The low total bid amount is 6.4% below the Engineer's Estimate of $380,000. The low bidder, Belaire -West Landscape, • Inc., of Buena Park, possesses a California State Contractors License Classification "A" as required by the project specifications. A check of the contractor's references indicates Belaire -West satisfactorily completed similar projects for our City and other local municipalities. The work necessary for the completion of this contract consists of: grading the existing site; constructing loop concrete walks; installing prefabricated concrete benches and seats, park lights, irrigation system, low perimeter fences, and a water fountain; refinishing the existing park identification monument sign; landscaping; and the customary plant establishment and maintenance periods. The Contract Specifications require the Contractor to complete all construction and weed abatement work within 90 consecutive working days. Environmental Review: This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines. This exemption covers the maintenance and alteration of existing public facilities with negligible expansion of the facilities in areas that are not environmentally sensitive. Public Notice: The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the City's official publication and in construction industry publications. Prior to starting work two City prepared notices are distributed by the contractor to both residents and businesses. The first notice will be distributed ten days before work in the area and the second notice 48 hours prior to starting work in the area. Fundinq Availability: The Orange County Development Agency, the arm of the County that does redevelopment, assigned this Project $378,000. After design and survey work, there remains $347,750.00 left. The County has agreed to raise the amount of funds set -aside for this project because another project (the Orchard Drive Park) had a small surplus of funds. While the County agreed to move Orchard Drive Park funds to the Mesa -Birch Park, a budget amendment is still required to add $44,950.00 to what remains in the City's Mesa -Birch Park account. The transaction would be as follows: Account Description Account Number Amount County of Orange -- RDA Funds 7459- C5100867 $ 347,750.00 Budget Amendment 7459- C5100867 $ 44,950.00 (Additional County RDA Funds) Total: $ 392,700.00 Proposed uses are as follows: .
