Upon review of the bid submissions, Van Engineering was initially identified as the apparent lowest bidder. Following the bid opening, Van Engineering notified the City that a clerical error had occurred in the preparation of its bid pricing. Due to the error , Van Engineering advised that it could not honor the submitted bid amounts and formally requested withdrawal of its bid. City staff reviewed the request and supporting documentation and determined that the withdrawal request was justified due to the clerical error. Accordingly, Van Engineering’s bid was withdrawn from consideration.
Following the withdrawal of Van Engineering’s bid, Tiger Construction LLC., became the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Staff reviewed the contractor’s qualifications, references, and prior performance and found Tiger Construction LLC., capable of successfully performing the work specified in the contract documents.
Bid prices for Option A (work completed using a combination of City crews and contractor) will not be utilized. Option B, (contractor completes all work) was submitted by bidders with the understanding that all work quantities given by the City were estimates. The project quantities are anticipated amounts that were used as a basis for bidding purposes. Actual available resources are limited to $1,800,000 for the first two (2) years and $90 0,000 per year for up to three (3) additional one-year extensions (an average of $900,000 per fiscal year).
FINANCIAL IMPACT
