SUMMARY
In 2014, the voters of the City of Hayward (City) approved Measure C, which authorized the City to increase the sales tax rate by one-half cent for, among other things, the restoration and maintenance of City services and facilities, including firefighting/emergency medical services. City staff and the design team have been working on completion of the design and various approvals of this project for several years. This project includes partnership with the Chabot-Las Positas Community College District (District) for the shared use of the Fire Training Center. With the completion of the construction documents and approvals by Division of the State Architect (DSA) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), the project was advertised on April 3, 2020.
On June 11, 2020, the project received two bids. Both bids were under the engineer’s estimate of $57,000,000. The apparent low bid, submitted by Amoroso, is $52,397,000 or 8.1% below the engineer’s estimate. The second low bid, submitted by Lathrop Construction Associates, Inc., (Lathrop) is $53,455,600, which is 6.2% below the Engineer’s Estimate.
After receiving the bids, Amoroso informed staff of errors in their subcontractors’ listing. Staff recommends that Council authorize the substitution of subcontractors, waiving an error related to listing of a subcontractor’s number, and awarding the contract to the responsible low bidder, Amoroso, in the amount of $52,397,000 and authorizing the City Manager to spend up to $70,901,700, for total project costs, including contingencies.
