SUMMARY
On May 18, 2021, the City received seven (7) bids for the project ranging from $542,350 to $883,829 (Attachment VI). JJR Construction, Inc., (JJR), of San Mateo, submitted the low bid in the amount of $542,350, which is 12.5% lower than the Engineer’s Estimate of $620,000. However, staff is recommending that this bid be rejected as non-responsive as it did not include the name of an arborist from the City’s approved list as required in the contract documents. Rosas Brothers Construction (Rosas) of Oakland, submitted the second lowest bid of $661,076, which is 6.6% higher than the Engineer’s Estimate. Staff is recommending that a construction contract be awarded to Rosas in the amount of $661,076 and approval of a construction change order contingency budget of $41,924.
