D'Arcy & Harty Construction | ||||||
1300 Carroll Avenue | ||||||
San Francisco, CA 94124 | ||||||
at $524,830 was the lowest bid received. | ||||||
The Engineer's estimate for the complete project was $700,000. A summary of the bids received is as follows: | ||||||
1. |
D'Arcy & Harty Construction |
$524,830.00 |

We have reviewed the contract documents and have determined that the affirmative action program submitted by D'Arcy & Harty Construction is in accordance with the current Affirmative Action Guidelines. | ||||||
Vision Alignment | ||||||
We believe our recommendation is consistent with the Shared Commitment to "ensure basic health and safety for all" and Goal Number 7, "maintain and enhance public safety of all residents and visitors," as it will improve the sanitary sewer system serving this area. | ||||||
Fiscal Impact | ||||||
The total estimated cost for construction and contingencies is $577,000, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., linear feet of sanitary sewer pipe installed, length of pipe required to be exposed). The contingency is used to pay the contractor for any additional material placed for the various bid items as the actual quantity used depends on the actual limits of the construction project. | ||||||
The Crystal Springs County Sanitation District has appropriated sufficient funds to finance this work. | ||||||
There is no impact to the General Fund. | ||||||
A form of resolution has been approved by County Counsel. | ||||||
