|
|
|
Adopted Resolution Number 068689 on May 1, 2007, which adopted Plans and Specifications and called for the sealed bids for the project. However, the project was put on hold prior to bid opening due to grant funding issues.
|
|
|
Adopted Resolution Number 069441 on May 20, 2008, which called for sealed proposals for the Fish Passage Barrier Modifications to Sequoia Flat Crossing Memorial Park, California project.

Discussion
|
The bids have been checked and the bid of:
|
|
|
Half Moon Bay Grading & Paving, Inc.
|
1780 Higgins Canyon Road
|
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019-2522
|
|
|
at $171,719.00 was the lowest bid received.
|
|
|
The Engineer’s estimate was $176,000. A summary of the bids received is attached as Exhibit “A”.
|
|
|
We have reviewed the Contract documents and have determined that the Equal Employment (Affirmative Action) program submitted by Lower Bidder is in accordance with the current Equal Employment Guidelines. We have also determined that the Contractor complies with the equal benefits and jury duty pay provisions of the County ordinance code.

|
|
|
Fiscal Impact
|
The total estimated cost for construction is $188,800, which includes a ten percent (10%) contingency (approximately $17,081) as the work is bid on a unit price basis (i.e., cubic yards of concrete and backfill placed). 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 unit weight and actual limits of the construction project or to pay added work resulting from unforeseen conditions not anticipated in the construction contract documents. Funds for construction of this project and other planned components have been acquired from State Grants and other funds.
