WHEREAS, staff received excellent bids for the proposed work and the low bid,
submitted by Shoreline Contractors is below the Engineer's estimate of $60,500.00 by
$36,000.00 or 59.5% which 'estimate was based on average prices for similar type work
completed last year; and
WHEREAS, during the review of Shoreline Contractor's bid proposal, it was discovered
that the bid proposal was prepared incorrectly; instead of multiplying the quantities listed in
the bid proposal by their unit cost figure to obtain a subtotal for a line item, they calculated
the line item as if it were a lump sum item by not providing a unit cost; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney's office reviewed the discrepancy and concluded that the
bid proposal could be accepted even with the discrepancies, only if the Contractor agreed to
the Grand Total bid amount written in the proposal and if their references were satisfactory;
and
WHEREAS, the contractor has recently completed a projects within the City of San
Diego as a subcontractor on various underground and grading projects ranging from $50,000
to $120,000 and staff has contacted the general contractor for those projects, and their
recommendations and comments about the contractor have been satisfactory as well as
verifying the contractor's license and other qualifications and determined that they are in good
order; and
