RESOLUTION NO. 2005-351
RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
CHULA VISTA ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING A
CONTRACT FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL INSTALLATION
AT THE INTERSECTION OF FIFTH AVENUE AND NAPLES
STREET (TF-318), TO HMS CONSTRUCTION,
INCORPORATED AND TRANSFERRING FUNDS THEREFOR
WHEREAS, on September 21, 2005, the City Engineer received sealed bids for the
Traffic Signal Installation at Fifth Avenue and Naples Street (TF-318) project; and
WHEREAS, two contractors submitted bids to perform the work as follows:
Contractor
HMS Construction, Incorporated (San Marcos, CA)
Lekos Electric CA)
Bid Amount
49,472
$156,220
WHEREAS, staff has reviewed the low bid submittals and recommends awarding the
contract to HMS Construction, Incorporated in the amount of$149,472; and
WHEREAS, HMS Construction, Incorporated has recently installed a traffic signal
project in the City with satisfactory performance; and
WHEREAS, during design, staff included certain technological upgrades that will result
in more cost effective traffic signal operation (i.e., the initially planned loop detection was
upgraded to video detection). The enhancements will result in a higher construction cost that
will- in the long run - be offset by the considerable lower maintenance/operation costs; and
WHEREAS, due to the increase in item costs and additional video detection feature, the
total cost for construction has increased and would require additional funding in order to
complete the project; and
WHEREAS, the intersection signalization project at Fifth Avenue and Moss Street, was
completed and that project has a remaining balance of $30,229. Staff requests that $28,660 of
said balance be transferred to the subject intersection account; and
WHEREAS, upon completion of construction, normal annual signal energy and
preventive maintenance costs are estimated to be $5,500 for the intersection; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that
the project qualifies for a Class I categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15303 of the State
CEQA Guidelines. Thus, no further environmental review is necessary.
