WHEREAS, after reviewing the bids for Alternates B and D, Engineering Division staff
discussed the use of minimum wage versus prevailing wage with the City Attorney and since
the source of funds for this project is Gas Tax, the City Attorney felt that our status as a
Charter City would allow the use of minimum wage provisions, we have never done so in the
past with this revenue source and it was his opinion that while we would be successful in a
potential lawsuit, the difference of less than $21,000 in a ~1.4 million contract was
insignificant to the potential cost of defending a lawsuit, therefore, the City Attorney
recommended using prevailing wage provisions; and,
WHEREAS, it is staff's recommendation to implement Alternate D (using asphalt
rubber products and paying prevailing wages) as this alternate will give the City the most
paving miles with the latest high quality paving materials available; and,
WHEREAS, the low bid for Alternate D by Sire J. Harris Company in the amount of
~1,457,132.00 is below the engineer's estimate of 81 ,506,086 by ~48,954.00 or 3.3% and
staff recommends awarding the contract to Sim J. Harris; and,
WHEREAS, because of this excellent bid, staff is requesting Council's authorization for
the Director of Public Works to execute a change order in the amount not to exceed
~198,187 with Sim J. Harris Company such that staff may utilize all the fund currently
budgeted in this year's CIP for pavement overlay; and,
WHEREAS, the City's Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the work
involved in this project and determined that the project is exempt under Section 15302, Class
2 of the California Environmental Quality Act (reconstruction of existing structure and facility).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby accept the four bids for "Placement of various types of street surfacing
(asphalt concrete, asphalt rubber hot mix, asphalt rubber and aggregate membrane with slurry
seal) for the 1993-94 Overlay Program and construction of sidewalk ramps on various streets
in the City of Chula Vista, Ca. (STL-206)" and awards the contract for Alternate D to Sim J.
Harris Company, known as document number CO94-056, a copy of which is on file in the
office of the City Clerk, in the amount of $1,457,132.00.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Mayor of the City of Chula Vista is hereby
authorized and directed to execute said contract for and on behalf of the City of Chula Vista.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Director of Public Works is hereby authorized to
execute a change order in an amount not to exceed ~198,187 to expend all available funds
