RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA APPROPRIATING FUNDS, WAIVING IMMATERIAL
DEFECT, ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR
"LONG CANYON CHANNEL REPAIR IN THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA, CA. (D97031)"
WHEREAS, at 2:00 p.m. on July 19, 1995, in Conference Room 3 in the Public
Services Building, the Director of Public Works received the following two bids for "Long
Canyon Channel Repair in the City of Chula Vista, CA (D97031)":
Contractor Bid Amount
1. Marquez Constructors, Inc. - Spring Valley $137,850.00
2. Rutledge Gradalls - Lemon Grove 147,623.25
WHEREAS, the low bid by Marquez Constructors, Inc. is above the Engineer's
estimate of $119,600 by $18,250 or 15.26%, however, the low number of bidders and the
higher prices are a reflection of the risk associated with the grading work needed for the
project in light of restricted access to the site; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the contract be awarded to Marquez
Constructors, Inc. although Marquez Constructors did not show in their proposal accurate
summation of bid items and the grand total for the bid did not reflect last minute changes to
bid item No. 1 "Excavation and Grading"; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that Council waive this irregularity in Marquez's
bid and find it immaterial based on the following:
1. The error was clerical and may be waived.
2. Unit prices written in words are needed in case of disparity between the sum
prices shown in figures. In case of disparity, unit prices in words shall prevail
and take precedence. In this case, written prices do reflect the actual and
accurate grand total.
3. The low bidder has gained no bidding advantage by the clerical error.
WHEREAS, a Streambed Alteration Agreement (5-766-93) specifying permit
conditions and mitigation measures was entered into with the California Department of Fish
and Game and these conditions have been incorporated into the project's specifications; and
WHEREAS, the source of funding for this project is FEMA, OES and the Storm
Drain Revenue Fund, therefore, contractors bidding this project were not required to pay
prevailing wages to persons employed by them for the work under this contract; and
