At 2 p.m. on January 27, 1988, in Conference Rooms 2 and 3 in the Public
Services Building, the Director of Public Works received sealed bids for
"Construction of Chula Vista Fire Station No. 2 at 80 East J Street in the
City of Chula Vista, California." Funds for this project were budgeted in
FY 1986-87. The work includes the construction of a new fire station at 80
East J Street, installation of vehicle fuel system including underground tanks
and pumping capabilities, and demolition of the existing fire station upon
completion of the new building.
RECOMMENDATION: That Council accept bids and award contract to Ringland-
• Johnson-Crowley Co. in the amount of $299,800.00.
BOARDS/COMMISSIONS RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable.
DISCUSSION:
Bids for this project were received from five contractors as follows:
Bidder Bid Amount
1. P.ingland-Johnson-Crowley Co. - La Mesa $299,800.00
2. B. J. Fowler Construction - San Diego 335,2.82.00
3. F1. R. Contreras Construction - Bonita 350,000.00
4. Tenicon, Inc. - San Diego 372,944.00
5. Fritz A. Nachant - San Diego* 396,755.00
The cost of the fire station is approximately $85 per square foot. The City
of San Diego's bids for their fire stations (San Diego masonry construction
vs. Chula Vista's frame and stucco) exceeded $100 per square foot. Based on
the number of bids received, we believe this bid to be competitive and
recommend awarding the contract to Ringland-Johnson-Crowley Co. We have
contacted people for which this firm has done building construction. The
responses were excellent regarding the performance of their work.
• * The bid by Fritz A. Nachant did not include the proper bid bond and
therefore was not be accepted by the City.

The City's architect has suggested we have the contractor review the plans and
provide the City with possible cost savings through substitution of different
construction methods and/or materials. The Contractor, has stated he will do
this and if it is found that some savings can be achieved without sacrificing
quality of the structure, we will consider such substitutions and modify the
contract by a change order.
Attached is a copy of the Contractor's Disclosure Statement.
