Construction and Development, Inc., and determined that the bid package is complete, with no
errors or omissions; and

of $520,075 to Tri-Group Construction and Development, Inc., of San Diego, California; and
WHEREAS, the low bid by Tri-Group Construction and Development, Inc. of $520,075
is below the Engineer's estimate of $620,000 by $99,925, or approximately 16%; and
WHEREAS, this contractor has satisfactorily completed several projects for the City and
their Contractor's License No. 792159 is current and active; and

Council waive Council Policy No. 574-01.
