ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x
At 11:00 a.m. on February 15, 1979, in the Engineering Conference Room,
the City Engineer received sealed bids for "The Construction of Street
an Traffic Signal Improvements at Bonita Road and Otay Lakes Road."
The scope of the project consisted of furnishing and installing a
tr ffic signal standard with foundation, pull boxes, pedestrian push
bu ton, pedestrian indication, and constructing curb, gutter, sidewalk,
cu b inlet and asphalt paving.
Only one bid was received. This bid was submitted by Griffith Company
in the amount of $20,975.75 for Alternate #1 and $33,093.25 for
Al ernate #2. The difference between Alternate 1 and 2 was the amount
of relocated and reconstructed curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement.
Al ernate 1 just provided for a free turn lane and no widening of Otay
La es Road; Alternate 2 included some widening of Otay Lakes Road. The
bi is $9983.15 or 90.8% above the engineer's estimate of $10,992.60
fo Atlernate #1 and is $8904.25 or 36.80 above the engineer's estimate
of $24,189 for Alternate #2.
En ineering staff finds the bid is unacceptable and recommends that the
bi be rejected.
Th lack of competitive bids is attributed to the present construction
ac ivity in the private sector. The small size of the project also
co tributes to higher unit costs.
En ineering staff recommends that the project be combined with the
pr posed construction of a traffic signal at "H" .Street and Otay Lakes
Ro d and be rebid concurrent with this project which is now under design.
