SUBJECT
Adopt a Resolution Rejecting All Bids, Approving Revised Plans and Specifications, and Calling for Bids for the FY21 Pavement Improvement Project, Project Nos. 05227, 05236, 05238, 05295, 05297
RECOMMENDATION
That Council adopts a Resolution (Attachment II) rejecting all bids for the FY21 Pavement Improvement Project (PIP), Project Nos. 05227, 05236, 05238, 05295, 05297, approving the revised plans and specifications incorporating revised bidding requirements and Addendum Nos. 1, 2, and 3, and calling for construction bids to be received on May 11, 2021.
SUMMARY
The FY21 PIP calls for the rehabilitation of sixty-five street sections and preventive maintenance of twenty-two street sections for a total of eighty-seven street sections (Attachments III & IV). The proposed improvements will repair failed pavement sections and improve street surfaces.
Bids for the FY21 PIP were received on March 23, 2021. The City received five (5) bids. Granite Construction of Santa Clara submitted the lowest bid in the amount of $11,132,333. The second lowest bid was from Ghilotti Construction of San Rafael at $11,523,656. On March 30, 2021, the second lowest bidder, Ghilotti Construction, informed the City that the low bidder, Granite Construction, did not include Department of Industrial Relations (DIR) registration numbers with their listing of subcontractors. Upon review of Public Contract Code 4104, specifications must include the requirement for bidders to submit public works contractor DIR registration numbers with the bid. This requirement was unintentionally omitted in the specifications for this project. Staff is requesting Council reject all bids, approve the revised plans and specifications incorporating revised bidding requirements and Addendum nos. 1, 2, and 3, and authorize calling for construction bids to be received by May 11, 2021.
