SUMMARY
The Mission Boulevard Linear Park Landscape Project (Project) will provide improvements to the linear park adjacent to portions of the Mission Boulevard Corridor Improvements Phase 2 project. On November 16, 2021, Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized the Project to call for bids. On December 14, 2021, nine (9) bids for the project were received. The apparent low bid submitted by Los Loza, Inc., is $1,716,601 or 16% below the engineer’s estimate of $2,046,061. On December 21, 2021, the third lowest bidder, Redwood Engineering Construction, submitted a bid protest. After review of the bid proposals and upon review of the Public Contract Code, it was determined that the omission by the design consultant of the language “or equal” for a product called out in the specifications and plans resulted in the specifications and plans to not be in compliance with the Public Contract Code. Therefore, staff is requesting Council reject all bids, approve the revised plans and specifications incorporating revised Public Contract Code requirements and approve Addendum No. 1, and call for construction bids to be received by February 8, 2022.
