RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CiTY OF CHULA
VISTA REJECTING BIDS FOR THE "DELINEATOR REMOVAL
PROGRAM - PHASE Ill AT FOURTH AVENUE AND "E" STREET
AND ALONG OTAY LAKES ROAD NEAR BONITA VISTA HIGH
SCHOOL, IN THE CITY OF CHULA VISTA, CA. (TF239)
WHEREAS, at 2:00 p.m. on December 3, 1997 in Conference Room 3, the Director
of Public Works received the following sealed bid for the "Delineator Removal Program - Phase
III at Fourth Avenue and "E" Street along and Otay Lakes Road near Bonita Vista High School,
in the City of Chula Vista, CA." (TF239):
Contractor Bid Amount
Star Paving Corporation, San Diego, CA $44,221.00
WHEREAS, the low bid by Star Paving is above the Engineer's estimate of $33,300
by $10,9210 or 32.8% which estimate was based on bids received for similar projects; and
WHEREAS, there has been a recent substantial increase in construction activity in the
San Diego County area and consequently the City has been receiving very little interest from
contractors on the smaller projects; and
WHEREAS, after the bid opening, staff reviewed some of the trade papers to see what
was happening in other cities, and their bid results seemed to mirror what we have been
experiencing and staff will be factoring this into subsequent projects; and
WHEREAS, the project was "Packaged" to construct raised medians at two locations
and since staff was optimistic about the bid amount, they did not see the necessity of
breaking up the bids for each of the locations, hence did not provide an option for building the
median at either of the locations if we did not receive favorable bids; and
WHEREAS, since the bid was much higher than expected, staff has no way of
awarding contract for just one location and intends to rebid the project such that we will have
the option to award contract for one or both sites.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby reject the bids for the "Delineator Removal Program - Phase I1~ at Fourth Avenue and
"E" Street and along Otay Lakes Road near Bonita Vista High School, in the City of Chula
Vista, Ca.
