for the base bid and Altemate A bid by $9,991.77 (approximately 3%) and $14,601.08
(approximately 17%), respectively; and
WHEREAS, the Alternate A bid is for the landscaping and irrigation of the slopes north of
E Street and the bid alternate was included to allow the contractor to perform additional work
specified in the plans if the budget allowed and to give the City flexibility in the construction of the
project; and
WHEREAS, bid deficiencies were discovered by City engineering staff at the bid opening
and during subsequent reviews of the bid packages; and
WHEREAS, deficiencies in the bid packages primarily included:
i. Failing to submit all of the documents required by the bid Proposal Requirements
and Conditions at the bid opening;
ii. Incorrect unit cost entries in bid proposals that resulted in incorrect item and grand
totals; and/or
iii. Arithmetic errors in bid proposals that resulted in discrepancies with base bid grand
totals.
WHEREAS, it was determined that the bid deficiencies compromised the integrity of the bid
packages and that they should not be accepted, and based on this decision, four out of the five bid
packages could not be accepted due to each containing at least one or more of the aforementioned
._ bid deficiencies; the top three (3) bidders for the project were included in this group; and

WHEREAS, Engineering staff and the Department of Planning and Building may award
Alternate A concurrently with the project in an effort to complete all of the proposed work for Phase
1 and ifAltemate A is not awarded with the project, the included work would not be completed until
Phase 2 of the MTDB right of way beauti~cation project; currently, there is no schedule for Phase
2 of the project; and
WHEREAS, due to the allocated funding for the project, all of the bid proposals submitted,
with the exception of the low bidder, would not allow Alternate A to be constructed; and
WHEREAS, Engineering staff feels that if the project is re-advertised, the future base bids
and altemate bids submitted will be closer to the architect's estimate; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that all bids received for the "MTDB Right of Way
Beautification, Phase 1" project be rejected by City Council.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby reject bids for "MTDB Right of way Beautification, Phase 1, in the City of Chula vista,
