A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERCULES AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT WITH GSP CONSTRUCTION, INC. IN THE AMOUNT OF $255,216 FOR THE POLICE LOBBIES PROJECT AUTHORIZING AN ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURE OF UP TO $25,522 FOR A 10% CONTINGENCY ON SAID CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT, FOR A TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED CONTRACT AMOUNT OF $280,738.
WHEREAS, the Police Lobbies Project was advertised for bids in the West County Times on June 23 and 30, 2025 and in 5 regional plan rooms; and WHEREAS, a total of 5 bids were received at the bid opening deadline of 2 pm on Tuesday, July 29 and upon opening and reviewing the 5 bids received, GSP Construction, Inc. submitted the low bid in the amount of $255,216; and WHEREAS, the second lowest bidder, DMR Builders, Inc. submitted a protest on July 31, 2025 claiming that GSP Construction, Inc. did not list any subcontractors in their bid package and does not hold a C-10 license.
WHEREAS, the protest was reviewed by City staff in an August 5, 2025 letter and determined to lack merit.
WHEREAS, GSP Construction, Inc. has been determined to be a responsible bidder and their bid has been determined to be responsive; and WHEREAS, there is sufficient funding in the Adopted FY 2025-26 Budget to fully fund the construction contract.
WHEREAS, this Project involves renovation of an existing City-owned building interior and does not authorize new construction and is therefore exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”) pursuant to CEQA Guideline section 15301 (existing facilities) and pursuant to CEQA Guidelines section 15061(b)(3) because it can be seen with certainty that such replacement will not have a direct or indirect impact on the environment.
