SUBJECT: 2010 -2011 SIDEWALK, CURB & GUTTER RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT —
REJECT ALL BIDS FOR CONTRACT NO. 4561
ISSUE
Staff requests City Council to reject all bids received for the 2010 -2011 Sidewalk, Curb &
Gutter Reconstruction Project and allow staff to re- advertise for new bids.
RECOMMENDATIONS
1. Reject all received bids for Contract No. 4561.
2. Direct staff to clarify the contract documents and re- advertise the project for bids.
DISCUSSION
At 9:00 a.m. on November 2, 2010, the City Clerk opened and read the bids for the 2010-
2011 Sidewalk, Curb & Gutter Reconstruction project that would include reconstructing
existing sidewalk, medians, driveways, curb & gutter, installing access ramps & truncated
domes, removing & pruning tree roots; and installing new tree root barriers within the
Eastbluff Community and Balboa Island areas. A total of twelve bids were received, ranging
from $399,999.90 to $930,460.00. In reviewing the bids, it was apparent that none of the
bidders fully understood the required tree preservation requirement and bid forms pertaining
to using an ISA Certified Arborist. Additionally, most of the bids received contained
mathematical and clerical errors within the proposal. As a result, staff recommends
rejecting all of the bids, clarify the arborist requirement and bid forms, and re- advertise the
project for responsive and conformant bids.
PUBLIC NOTICE
The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the City's official publication and in construction
industry publications.
