IRREGULARITY, AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR
TRAFFIC SIGNAL MODIFICATIONS:
PROTECTED-PERMISSIVE, LEFT TURN PHASiNG AT 12
INTERSECTIONS (TF278/282) TO HMS CONSTRUCTION,
INC., IN THE AMOUNT OF $270,003.40
WHEREAS, on July 3, 2001, the Director of Public works received the following sealed
bids from five (5) electrical contractors for the project "Traffic Signal Modifications: Protected-
Permissive Left Tum Phasing at 12 Intersections" (TF278/282):
Contractor Bid Amount
HMS Construction, Inc. $270,003.00
Select Electric, Inc. $305,425.00
Lekos Electric, Inc. $319,850.00
T&M Electric, Inc. $323,327.00
DBX, Inc. $343,770.00
WHEREAS, the low bid, submitted by HMS Construction, Inc., is above the engineer's
estimate of $267,165.00 by $2,838.00 or 1.06%, which estimate is based on average unit prices
received recently on similar types of projects; and
WHEREAS, subsequent to a review of the bid proposals for the project, staff discovered
a deviation in Item 19 of the bid proposal from the apparent low bidder HMS Construction, Inc
where the bidder incorrectly inserted a forty-cent ($0.40) error in the total cost for the item which
does not increase the contractor's base bid and does not affect their status as the low bidder for
the project; and
WHEREAS, as part of the bidding process for CMAQ projects, Caltrans requires local
agencies to check the status of the State of California wage rates within 10 days of a bid opening.
If it is found that the wage rates have been updated since the project was advertised then an
addendum must be prepared for the project; such an addendum was prepared and distributed for
this project; and
WHEREAS, this addendum was omitted from the apparent low bidder's bid proposal
who informed the City that the addendum had been inadvertently left out of their bid package
and the signed addendure was submitted to the City immediately thereafter; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney's office, after consulting with staff, determined that the
omission of the addendum from the bid package did not affect the bid prices submitted by HMS
Construction, Inc. and staff; and therefore, recommends that the inconsequential bid deviation
previously discussed and the bid irregularity involving omission of the addendum from the low
Resolution 2001-246 --

bidder's proposal be waived and the contract be awarded to HMS Construction, Inc., in the
amount of $270,003.40.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby accept bids, waive inconsequential bid deviation, waive bid irregularity and
award the contract for "Traffic Signal Modifications: Protected-Permissive Left Turn Phasing at
12 Intersections" to HMS Construction, Inc., in the amount of $270,003.40.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized to execute said contract on behalf of the City of Chula Vista.
