WHEREAS, the projects are funded with Community Development Block Grant funds
which contain strict labor and minority business compliance regulations that tend to increase
the contractor's administrative cost of the project; and,
WHEREAS, because of this, staff believed that by bidding both projects under one
contract, we would encourage contractors to reflect their administrative costs savings on the
bid amounts; and,
WHEREAS, the bid results, unfortunately, did not reflect this as the lowest bid
(~76,250) was above the Engineer's estimate of ~72,475 by ~3,775 or 5.2% and in excess
of the funds available; and,
Resolution No. 17748

WHEREAS, the cost for the number of curb ramps included in the bid was in excess
of the amount available for that work and the portion of the low bid for the asphalt surfacing
of the NIC Road was above the amount of funds available in that project account; and,
WHEREAS, it is staff's recommendation that Council reject the bids and direct staff to
re-advertise the work with the specifications prepared in a manner that would give the City
the ability to award the overall project to one bidder or to two separate bidders, whichever
is more cost advantages.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula Vista does
hereby reject the bids for "Construction of Sidewalk Ramps on Various Streets and Placement
of Asphalt Concrete on Access Road to Nature Interpretive Center in the City of Chula Vista".
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Public Works is hereby directed to re-
advertise the work with the opportunity for the City to award the project either as one project
or as two separate projects depending on the bids received.
