IC:\ WP51IAGENCYIAGENOAS\O5-30-95 .AGO] REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AGENDA STATEMENT Item£ :¿ Meeting Date 6:;,'!~i4..)15 ITEM TITLE: Resolution 1454 Appropriating funds, accepting bids, and awarding contract for "Demolition and Site Clearance of Existing Buildings at the Fuller Ford Site at 760 Broadway in the City of Chula Vista, California (RD-1331" SUBMITTED BY: Director of Community Development C ,e; Director of Public Works REVIEWED BY: Executive Director ø (4/5ths Vote: Yes.1LNo-> BACKGROUND: At 2:00 p.m. on May 3, 1995, in Conference Rooms 2 & 3 of the Public Services Building, the Director of Public Works received bids for "Demolition and Site Clearance of Existing Buildings at the Fuller Ford Site at 760 Broadway in the City of Chula Vista, California (RD-1331." This work includes the removal of buildings, removal and disposal of existing improvements, excavation and grading and other miscellaneous work required by the specifications. The clearance of this site is being done to facilitate the construction of the Broadway Business Homes project recently reviewed by the Agency. RECOMMENDATION: That the Agency: 1 I appropriate $107,000 from the anticipated surplus revenues in the Otay Valley Road Project Area Fund to RD133; and 21 accept bids and award contract for "Demolition and Site Clearance of Existing BLJildings at the Fuller Ford Site at 760 Broadway in the City of Chula Vista, California (RD-1331" to Watkins Contracting, Inc. - San Diego in the amount of $89,417. BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: At the meeting of May 2, 1995, the Agency reviewed plans and issues related to the Broadway Business Home Project and directed staff to expeditiously process the project including demolition on the Broadway site. . Funds for this project were included in the Fiscal Year 1994-95 CIP budget (See Exhibit AI. However, the funds are not sufficient to do the demolition work. Staff proposed to include the additional funding in the 1995-96 CIP budget. However, because of the urgency of the Broadway Business Homes project, and the need to demolish the existing structures at the Fuller Ford site, staff bid this project prior to the approval of next year's budget so that the demolition work could proceed as expeditiously as possible. The Agency approved a Semi-Exclusive Negotiating Agreement with the developers of the Business Homes Project in July 1994. The Project will be reviewed by staff and the Design Review Committee this May/June. It is scheduled to go before the Planning Commission for a required zoning change on June 14, and to the Agency for final approvals on July 11, 1995. In order for the project to be under construction late this summer, site clearance must begin now. 5-f~ c2 - / Page 2, Item:::!!f::= ~ Meeting Date "65:23.'96 ..5ßð/15 Since the Business Homes project has not as yet been approved by the Agency, there is some risk that demolition of potentially reusable structures may be premature. However, the structures are old, have been stripped of valuable materials and have been considerably damaged by vandals since they were vacated last November. Any future reuse of existing buildings would most likely mean continuance of auto related land uses. The Business Homes project promises a departure from those uses and the beginning of redevelopment efforts along Broadway. Normally, demolition would not proceed until the project was approved and a Disposition and Development Agreement authorized. However, this is not scheduled to occur until July 11, 1995 which would delay the start of demolition for almost two months. The demolition contractor has 30 working days (approximately six weeks) to complete demolition work. If demolition work starts by June 1, the site should be cleared and available by mid July to coincide with Agency approval of the project. If the demolition work starts in late July, the site will not be available until mid September. The Developers are planning to construct model units this summer as well as begin construction of Phase I for sale in the fall. It is generally more difficult to market residential properties in the late fall and winter seasons. Staff is demonstrating the "business friendly" environment in Chula Vista and is trying to facilitate a development proposal which has very recently been strongly supported by the Agency. The Developers are serious in their efforts and intent to purchase the property, and have already invested over $150,000 of their own funds in this project. Since your last review of this proposal, Courtney Tires has reexpressed their interest in purchasing the Ford site in addition to the former South Bay Chevrolet property, including the Fuller Ford improvements. This prospective sale could be $2-3 a square foot higher than what could be secured through the Business Homes project. This information has been transmitted verbally to staff by their broker. A written offer is expected by Tuesday, May 23. Bids were received from six contractors as follows: Contractor Bid Amount 1. Watkins Contracting, Inc. - San Diego $ 89,417.00 2. Cement Cutting, Inc. - San Diego 94,747.00 3. Cin-Mar Industries, Inc. - San Pedro 97,500.00 4. Roberts Engineering Contractors - Escondido 117,200.00 5. Mark McDowell Corporation - San Diego 128,667.00 6. Rutledge Gradalls - Jamul 135,957.00 The low bid by Watkins Contracting, Inc. is below the Engineer's estimate of $100,000 by $10,583 or 10.6%. Shortly after receiving bids, the City received a fax letter (Exhibit B) from the second apparent low bidder (Cement Cutting, Inc) questioning the qualifications of the apparent low bidder, Watkins Contracting, Inc. to perform the work. ~ c2-..L Page 3, Item~ :L.. Meeting Date ~5:23(1lj. ..5/3t>/JS Staff has reviewed Watkins Contracting, Inc. references and determined that the contractor has the required license, the relevant experience and resources to carry out the work necessary for the demolition and related work associated with the Fuller Ford Project. We, therefore, recommend the contract be awarded to Watkins Contracting, Inc. Disclosure Statement Attached is a copy of the contractor's disclosure statement (Exhibit C). Environmental Status The City Environmental Review Coordinator has reviewed the work involved on the project and determined that the project is exempt from CECA under Section 15061 (b) (3), the "general rule" that CECA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effort on the environment. Where it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the activity in question may have a significant effect on the environment, the activity is not subject to CECA. Prevailina Waae Statement The source of funding for this project is redevelopment funds. The prevailing wage scales are those determined by the Director of Industrial Relations, State of California, and were determined to be applicable to the work to be done. No special minority or women owned business requirements were necessary as part of the bid documents. Disadvantaged Businesses were encouraged to bid through the sending of the "Notice to Contractors" to various minority trade publications. Soils Testina Current information indicates that the Fuller Ford site is free from soil contamination. However, since hydraulic lifts are located on the site, it is possible that some seepage at the base of the lifts has occurred. Agency staff is currently contracting for soils tests in these areas to determine if there is any subsurface contaminations. Financial Statements Funds Required for Construction A. Contract Amount $89,417.00 B. Staff (Design and Inspection) $8,683.00 C. Contingencies (approximately 10%1 $8,900.00 TOTAL FUNDS REQUIRED FOR CONSTRUCTION $107,000.00 Funds Available for Construction A. Autopark Fund RD133 +$47,650.86 B. Appropriation of Funds from Unappropriated balance of $107,000.00 Otay Valley Road Redevelopment Fund to Autopark - Fund RD133. (Require a loan from the General Fund.) TOTAL FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR CONSTRUCTION $154,650.86 + Approximately $10,000 has been committed to complete slope improvement work on the Autopark site and an additional $10,000 is needed to undertake soils testings ~ ,,2 -3 Page 4, Item~.:L..- Meeting Date ~5 ..s/3t:J/9S on the demolition site. The remaining $27,650 will be needed to complete the work at the Autopark site plus pay for change orders needed for additional work on Broadway in connection with the Broadway Business Homes development on the Fuller Ford Site, FISCAL IMPACT: Funds from the sales of the South Bay Chevrolet parcel will be deposited in the Otay Valley Road Fund and the anticipated surplus revenues above $1.15 million are sufficient to cover demolition costs. Sale of the Chevrolet site is expected to occur in July, and can be accrued as revenue for FY 94-95.

Demolition is not by any means this firm's strong suit. They are licensed A, B, and asbestos removal. They do not have a C-21 license (demolition/house moving) and'as far as 1 know, do not own any equipment to do the demolition of the structures at the Fuller Ford site. This leads me to my next point. The only subs listed were for temporary fence, so how does Watkins intend to remove the structures? AS part of the specifications all the subs are to be listed. It would be in the best interest of the City of Chula Vista to disqualify Watkins Contracting. Please let this letter serve al a formal protest.
