ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES NO x )
At 11:00 a.m. on November 2, 1978, in the Engineering Conference Room,
the City Engineer received sealed bids for "The Construction of Improved
Drainage Channel s/o East Naples Street Between Monserate Avenue and
Helix Avenue, Chula Vista, California". The scope of the project
included construction of a block wall open channel with chain link
fencing, storm drain cleanout structure, and installation of 18"
storm drain pipe.
A bid was received from one contractor. This bid was submitted by
Edmond J. Vadnais in the amount of $251,673.00 for both Alternate
1 and 2. The difference between Alternate 1 and 2 was in the type
of storm drain pipe being used, Reinforced Concrete and Corrugated
Steel Pipe respectively. The bid is $171,152 or 2120 above the
engineer's estimate of $80,521.
Engineering staff finds that the bid is unacceptable and recommends
that the bid be rejected.
The lack of competitive bids can be attributed to:
1) The present construction activity in the private sector.
2) Construction of the project during the winter months
and rainy season.
Engineering staff recommends that the project be rescheduled so that
construction occurs during the summer months and construction activity
slackens to a point where contractors will be interested in bidding
the project.
