WHEREAS, the appazent low bid by Conan Construction, Inc. of $43,753.88 is below the
Engineer's estimate of $68,610 by $24,856, or approximately 36%; and
WHEREAS, the engineer's estimate was based on average prices for similaz types of
work completed during the last two years; and
WHEREAS, although Conan Construction, Inc. was the apparent lowest bidder, the
contractor rounded extended unit items; specifically, the contractor rounded to the neazest dollaz
the total amount bid for the line item, rather than entering the exact amount; and
WHEREAS, rounding of totals is not typically an acceptable bidding practice for projects
within the City of Chula Vista or within the region. The bid amount, excluding the rounding
adjustment, yields a corrected total bid amount of $43,753.88, an increase of merely $3.88; and
WHEREAS, staff feels that this irregularity is of little consequence and the corrected bid
amount remains well below the second lowest bidder amount of $47,835.09; and
WHEREAS, staff has verified the references provided by the contractor and their work
record has been satisfactory; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that City Council waive the irregularity as immaterial and
awazd the contract for the "I Street Sidewalk Improvements" project to Conan Construction, Inc.
in the amount of $43,753.88.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula
Vista does hereby waive the irregularities, as immaterial and necessazy for the public benefit,
awazd the contract for the "I Street Sidewalk Improvements" project to Conan Construction, Inc.
in the amount of $43,753.88, and authorize the Director of Public Works to expend all available
funds in the Project.
