Hubbard Construction Co., Inc., San Diego in the amount of $487,324.50. ~wever, should the City Council prefer to use the pavers, Lternate A, to be constructed, I recommend the following: Page 2, Item 13 Meeting Date 3--I6-82 11 Authorize the expenditure of $630,000 from the following four accounts : a. Third Avenue improvements - account no. 630-6300-BG10 3 $125,000.00 b. Third Avenue improvements - account no. 633-6330-BG86 $ 6,000.00 c.

Hubbard Construction Co., Inc. in the amount of $560,139.90. COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: Not applicable. SCUSSION: ds were received from four contractors as follows: Alternate A Alternate B ntractor (Tile Pavers) (Stamped Concrete) L.R. Hubbard Construction $560,139.90 Co., Inc. - San Diego T.B. Penick & Sans , Inc . - 575 , 173.60 San Diego Daley Corporation - San Diego 627,312.22 Dyno Contruction, Inc. - 687,205.48 Lemon Grove $487,324.50 533,409.00 566,285.98 567,580.18 he low bid by L.R. Hubbard Construction Co., Inc. for Alternate is below the engineer's estimate of $595,864 by $35,724.10 or 6 ~rcent. The low bid for Alternate B was also submitted by L.R. ubbard Construction Co., Inc. and is belo w the engineer's stimate of $554,255 by $56,930.50 or 12 percent. We have eviewed the low bids for both alternate A and Band find them to e acceptable. ederal Department of Housing & Urban Development has approved he to w bidder's eligibility to participate in a Federally financed block grant project. he City Landscape Architect, Principal Planner and Project ngineer toured sites that have been constructed by the uccessful bidder of Alternate A & B (tile pavers and stamped ~ncrete). Slides of bath contractors work will be available at -/~~0~ Page 3 , Item 13 Meeting Date 3-16-82 t a H A c ie meeting. They were impressed with both the stamped concrete id the the pavers. Both contractors do beautiful work. -wever, due to the difference of $73,000 in cost between ternates A & B, we recommend the lower cost alternate (stamped -ncrete) . ie construction of the stamped concrete on this project differs ~om that installed on Third Avenue between "E" and "F" Street in ~veral aspects: f s 1 The color is integral throughout the thickness of the concrete rather than just on the surface. If it is chipped the white concrete color will not show. 2. The crosswalks are being constructed with steel reinforcement. The concrete bands on the sides and a concrete slab under the stamped concrete is one integral unit. On the previous project the concrete bands were placed separately and not tied together with steel reinforcement to the stamped concrete. This has allowed some movement of the concrete and has caused some of the cracking which has occurred. We visited four sites where the subcontractor doing the stamped c ncrete work for Hubbard Construction has performed the work. T ese sites were Heritage Park in Old Town, the entry road to C ronado Cays, Coronado Shores, and some work in Presidio Place - c ndo complex. We also visited two sites where the subcontractor d ing the pavers has performed the work. These were at Fashion V lley Shopping Center and the Town Centre Building here in Chula ista. Color slides of the work at these sites were taken and a e available for Council viewing.
