WHEREAS, the apparent low base bid proposal of $54,977.50 was submitted by A.B.
Hashmi, Inc. During the review of the bid package, it was determined that the "Disclosure
Statement," "City ofChula Vista Contractor Questionnaire (Exhibit C)," and "Bidder's Minority
and Women Business Enterprise's Information (Exhibit D)" were not completed or signed as
required in the Proposal Requirements and Conditions; and
WHEREAS, City staff concluded that accepting the bid submitted by A.B. Hashmi, Inc.
would have given them an unfair competitive advantage over the other bidders because they
could have withdrawn their bid without forfeiting their bid bond; and
WHEREAS, the failure of A.B. Hashmi, Inc. to properly respond to the bid specifications
renders its bid non-responsive and staff, therefore, recommends that their bid be rejected; and
WHEREAS, the second low base bid from MJC Construction, in the amount of
$55,440.00, fully complied with all bid specifications and was below the Engineer's estimate of
$69,680.00 by $14,240.00 or approximately 20.4%; and
WHEREAS, one (I) bid additive alternate was included with the bid proposal in order to
provide unit prices for additional work items that may arise during construction of street
pavement or hardscape improvements for the project and to provide a cost for a biological survey
consultant (if required by the City's Environmental section); and
WHEREAS, City staff checked the references provided by the contractor and all
references were verified and their work has been satisfactory; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends awarding the base bid contract to MJC Construction in
the amount of $55,440.00 and Additive Alternate I in the amount of$7,11O.00; and
WHEREAS, the Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the proposed project
for compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) and has determined the
project qualifies for a Categorical Exclusion (subject to 58.5) pursuant to the U.S. Department of
Housing & Urban Development (HUD) Guidelines per 24CFR 58.35 (a) and has also determined
that the project qualifies for a Class 1 categorical exemption pursuant to Section 15301 of the
State California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Guidelines; and
.
WHEREAS, the bid documents set forth participation requirements per Federal
Regulation for meeting the disadvantaged and women-owned business goals. Staff has reviewed
the bid package submitted by MJC Construction and has concluded that they have met the
required goals; and
WHEREAS, staff also reviewed MJC Construction's eligibility status regarding federal
procurement pr~grams. MJC Construction is not listed as excluded from Federal Procurement
