Building, the City Engineer received sealed bids for "Installation of Colorado
Avenue Storm Drain from Oxford Street to Moss Street in the City of Chula
Vista and County of San Diego, CA." This project was included in the
1982-1983 Block Grant Program. The work to be done consists in general of
construction of drainage facilities which includes excavation and grading,

2. Accept bids and award contract to KIP Incorporated, San Marcos in the
amount of $403,864.00

Block Grant Program to provide funds to reimburse the Price Company for
funds advanced up to 50% of the final project cost (not to exceed a
total City contribution of $212,459.40) and subject to HUD conditions.

Alternate B
Alternate A (Cast-in-Place
Bidder (All RCP) and RCP)
1 . KIP Incorporated - San Marcos No bid $403,864.00
2. Cameron Bros.
Const. Co. , Inc. - San Diego $488,075.16 $484,761 .54
3. Cass Construction, Inc. - El Cajon $508,066.05 $434,289.90
4. Edward J. Pestana Construction,
Inc. - Imperial Beach No bid $514,736.00
5. Dyno Construction, Inc. - San Diego $702,162.00 No bid
The low bid for Alternate A (all RCP) by Cameron Bros. Const. Co. , Inc. - San
Diego was above the engineer's estimate of $377,687 by $110,388.16 or 29.2%.
The low bid for Alternate B (RCP and cast-in-place pipe) by KIP Incorporated -
San Marcos was above the engineer 's estimate of $316,210.50 by $87,653.50 or
27.7%. We have reviewed the low bids and recommend awarding the contract to
KIP Incorporated-San Marcos for Alternate B utilizing reinforced concrete pipe
and cast-in-place pipe. The engineer's estimate was low because it has been
some time since the City has received bids on a comparable project. The last
project, which involved the construction of a storm drain was for the parking
structure and bids were received for that project in January 1983. Since that
time, it appears that construction activity is increasing and the low prices
bid over the past few years are rising.
The Department of Housing and Urban Development has approved the eligibility
of this contractor to perform the work.
On October 5, 1982, the Council by Resolution No. 11028 approved a Lien
Agreement with the Price Company for construction of said storm drain. The
agreement was based on our mutual intention to construct a permanent drainage
system for the area and share in its costs. As the actual project cost will
significantly exceed the original estimate ($300,000) , and since there
apparently was at least an informal expectation of all parties that a 50/50
split would occur, we have explored the possibility of the City and the Price
Company equally sharing the actual project construction cost ($212,459 each).
As surplus Block Grant funds, the source of the City's contribution, are not
currently available, an additional equalizing contribution could not be made
by the City at this time. Therefore, the Price Company has deposited with the
City $290,000 so the construction of the project can proceed.
We propose recommending to Council that monies be included in the 1984-85
Block Grant Program for the reimbursement of funds to the Price Company such
that the final project costs are shared on a 50/50 split. The reimbursement
would be conditioned on staff and HUD acceptance of the low and moderate
income employment projections, and conditional , of course, on receipt of such
Block Grant entitlement funding.
FISCAL IMPACT: Routine storm drain maintena e. Possible future
contribution of approximately $77,540 from Block Grant unding.
