At 2:00 p.m. on November 4, 1987, in Conference Room 2 in the Public Services Building, the City Engineer received sealed bids for traffic signal installation at Hilltop Drive/Quintard Street and Orange Avenue/Second Avenue in the City of Chula Vista. Bids were received from four (4) qualified electrical contractors to install the two traffic signals. The improvements at both intersections were funded in the 1986-87 CIP. RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept the bids and award the contract to Steiny and Company in the amount of $74,945, • BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. DISCUSSION: In the past, electrical contractors have indicated to staff that they are able to do two or three traffic signal installations more economically than a single project With this in mind, these two budgeted CIP projects, being located in the same general area of the City, were advertised by staff as one lump sum contract in hopes of receiving better bids. Bids were received from four qualified contractors as follows: 1. Steiny and Company - San Diego $74,945 2. M.C.R. Electric - Imperial Beach 78,039 3. D & H Perry - Spring Valley 79,350 4. DBX - Spring Valley 81,750 The low bid by Steiny and Company was below the Engineer's estimate of $80,200 by $5,255 or 6.55. We have reviewed the low bid and believe it to be satisfactory and recommend awarding the contract to Steiny and Company. • • Financial Statement: Page 2, Item 9 Meeting Date~T~7]$7 Total funds available from the following accounts: A.
