City Engineer
(4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NOx )
At 11:00 a.m. on June 7, 1979, in Conference Room 5 in the
Public Services Building, the City Engineer received a
sealed bid for "The Construction of Street and Traffic
Signal Improvements at the Intersections of Bonita Road/Otay
Lakes Road and East "H" Street/Otay Lakes Road."
The scope of the work includes furnishing and installing
traffic signal and street light standards with foundations,
vehicle sig nals, pull boxes, pedestrian push buttons,
pedestrian indications, and constructing curb, gutter,
sidewalk, curb inlet, asphalt paving and A.C. Berm.
Only one bid was received. This bid was submitted by
Griffith Company in the amount of $142,923.65 for Alternate
#1 and $154,758.10 for Alternate #2. The difference between
Alternate 1 and 2 was the amount of relocated and
reconstructed curb, gutter, sidewalk and pavement at the
intersection of Bonita Road/Otay Lakes Road. Alternate 1
provided for a free turn lane and no widening of Otay Lakes
Road; Alternate 2 included some widening of Otay Lakes Road
which will align the curb in front of the gas station with
the existing curb adjacent to the shopping center. The bid
is $33,670.65 or 30.8$ above the engineer's estimate of
$109,253 for Alternate #1 and is $34,241.10 or 31.3 above
the engineer"s estimate of $120,5.17 for Alternate #2.

Supplemental Page Two
Engineering staff finds the bid is unacceptable and
recommends that the bid be rejected for the following
reasons:
1. Only one bid was received. This lack of competitive
bidding leaves the staff with inadequate information to
justify spending funds 2.Oo over our estimate.
2. Based on recent bid results, we believe that some of the
items bid for the traffic signal work are quite
inflated.
Staff recommends rebidding the work as two separate
projects. This particular job has two distinct types of
work which are normally done by two different types of
contractors. The two types of work include the street
surface improvements and the traffic signals. Because both
types of work are about an equal share of the total
contract, it causes problems in the bidding procedure as to
who will be the prime contractor.
Also to simplify the bidding procedure, staff is
recommending that Alternate #1 not be rebid. GVe believe the
added expense of doing Alternate #~ is approximately $1?,000
and it is justified to spend these additional funds in that
it will facilitate simultaneous eastbound right turns, and
westbound left turns thereby maximizing the capacity f_or the
heavy volume of eastbound right turns in the a.m. and .m.
peak hours at intersection of Bonita Road/Otay Lakes Road.
A transparency is available for Council viewing.
