That Council adopts a resolution (Attachment II) rejecting all bids for the Sidewalk Rehabilitation Project, Project No. 05285, approving the revised specifications incorporating revised bidding requirements and Addendum No. 1, and calling for construction bids to be received on June 16, 2020.

SUMMARY
On April 14, 2020, the City received eleven (11) bids for the project, ranging from $404,920 to $872,075. Villalobos & Associates submitted the low bid in the amount of $404,920, which is 1.6% above the Engineer’s estimate of $398,500.
On April 15, 2020, the second lowest bidder informed the City that the low bidder included an arborist as a sub-contractor that was not from the list of approved arborists provided by the City Landscape Department. Upon review of the specifications for the project, it has been determined that the specification relating to the sub-contractor listing did not comply with Public Contract Code requirements. Therefore, staff is recommending all bids be rejected and the project be re-bid to clarify this requirement. The specifications have been updated to reflect the requirements in the Public Contract Code.
