WHEREAS, the low bid of $106,405 for the two combined projects ($67,960 for
project I and $38,445 for project II) was received from HMS Construction which was below
the Engineer's total estimate of $147,252.50 ($84,677.50 for project I and $62,575 project
II) by approximately 27.7%; and
WHEREAS, HMS Construction has met all City requirements for award of contract as
set forth in the bid document; therefore, staff recommends awarding the contract to HMS
Construction; and
WHEREAS, on June 16, 1998, HMS Construction, on the request of the City,
submitted a bid for the traffic signal modification at Broadway with "E" Street (Project III) and
the bid submitted in the amount of $22,135 was approximately 2.8% above the engineer's
estimate of $21,530; and
WHEREAS, since the bid is within 5% of the estimate, it is not considered wise to
prepare a separate bid process for such a relatively small project that would consume more
staff time and may be more expensive due to "move in" costs of a different contractor; and
