Resolution Authorizing the Director of Public Works to Prepare Plans and Specifications and Proceed with Revised Project Bid/Advertisement Procedures for Road Maintenance Type Projects

______________________________________________________________

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has recommended reducing the length of time currently required to proceed through the contract bid and award process for maintenance type projects in order to reduce costs and to afford the maximum time available for the construction of said projects; and

WHEREAS, one way to reduce the process time is to eliminate the need for this Board to adopt a resolution calling for bids by authorizing the Director of Public Works to call for bids for maintenance type projects; and

WHEREAS, the Director of Public Works has prepared a list of maintenance type projects that qualify for said revised bidding procedures; and

WHEREAS, this Board has considered the recommendations of the Director of Public Works.

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED that the Director of Public Works is:

1.

authorized to develop plans and specifications and call for bids for maintenance type projects on the roads as shown on Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

2.

directed to report to this Board with recommendations on adopting the plans and specifications developed for said projects, and awarding contracts to the lowest responsible bidders for said projects once bids are received and confirmed.
