The low bid by Silver Strand Contractors was below the Engineer' s estimate of
$21 ,731 by $5,419.15, or 25%.
The contract is for the construction of 33 sidewalk ramps. However, if it
appears sufficient money will remain in contingencies, staff proposes to
increase the number of ramps constructed. This was provided for in the

quantities without any changes in the bid prices.
The Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved the low
bidder' s eligibility to participate in a Federally-financed Block Grant
