Alternate 1 is for reinforced concrete pipe. Alternate 2 is corrugated
steel pipe and Alternate 3 is for asbestos cement pipe. Mike Masanovich
Construction Company submitted the low bid of $86,808 for Alternate 1.
This is 29~ above the engineer's estimate of $67,517. Pending amount of
low bids received for the other two projects under EDA Group II Storm
Drain Project, the City may have to appropriate additional funds or cut
back on the scope of these projects if bids are too high.
Engineering staff has reviewed the two bids and has determined that the
low bid submitted by Masanovich Construction is a reasonable and compe-
titive bid. Reasons for the low bid being 29~ higher than the engineer's
estimate are:
1. Contractors are busy and therefore are not bidding jobs at a minimum
overhead and profit margin.
2. City's projects are in competition with other agencies which also
have to award contracts within the 90-day time constraint imposed
by EDA.
3. Heavy construction activity in the private sector has reduced the
number of contractors available and willing to bid on public works
projects.
4. The lOg minority contractor/supplier requirement and additional
paperwork required by EDA has discouraged contractors from bidding
or those bidding have increased their bids accordingly to compensate
for additional overhead costs.
