The Engineer's Estimate for this expenditure is $ 450,000. The contract price is. 57% above the Engineer's Estimate. If the overage is greater than 10% or only one bid was received, give explanation:
The project received two bids for the Chinatown Project 1 & 6 Streetlights. One bid was returned due to missing deposit. These streetlights are unique specialty items and as such, require custom design that is not readily available in the market. Staff did not have prior bids to compare, and the cost of the materials had to be estimated based on the available information at the time. Furthermore, the overall industry cost of materials has increased significantly in recent times, contributing to the increased cost of the streetlight materials.
This is a trend that is being experienced across the industry, and it has affected the pricing of various materials and components.
BACKGROUND OF PROJECT (To be completed by Evaluating Department/Division.
Explain need for project/equipment):
Chinatown Project 1 and 6 will install lighting on F Street from Fresno Street to Ventura Street, Mariposa and Kem Streets from E Street to G Street and China Alley from Tulare Street to Ventura Street. The custom streetlights will have a decorative pedestrian fixture to light up the sidewalk and a cobra head lighting for the road. Shortage and delay in material supply is one of the most significant factors leading to delay in construction project delivery. The subject product purchase ensures streetlights materials are ordered ahead of time in preparation for future contractor to receive and minimize supply chain delays.
