SUBJECT: Award of Contract to Wright Construction Engineering Corp for the Springvale and Carlson Channel Rehabilitation Project; Bid No. 22-006 and Appropriation of Additional Funds
Summary:
This action will award a construction contract for the Springvale and Carlson Channel Rehabilitation project. Because the lowest responsible bidder exceeds the available budget, an additional appropriation is necessary in order to award the project. The project involves the rehabilitation of two stormwater channels.
Recommended Action:
It is recommended that the City Council appropriate $89,981.30 from the Drainage Fund (2310) to the Springvale and Carlson Channel Rehabilitation project (DR006) and award the contract for the Springvale and Carlson Channel Rehabilitation project to Wright Construction Engineering Corp., the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, in the amount of $218,000.00 (Attachment A).
Discussion:
The scope of work for the Springvale and Carlson Channel Rehabilitation project includes the rehabilitation of two stormwater channels. The Carlson channel scope will remove and replace various sections of channel that have been damaged by adjacent tree roots causing uplifting. The trees are to be removed as a portion of the scope of work. The Springvale channel scope of work includes construction of a concrete overlay over the asphalt concrete lining along with localized repairs. Repair of these two channels is necessary to ensure they function properly which minimizes chances of potential flooding.
The contract time for this project is 20 working days with an Engineer's Estimate of $140,000. Bids were opened on March 24, 2022. The following three bids were received:
Company Total Bid Amount
Wright Construction Engineering Corp $218,000.00
Bosco Constructors, Inc. $218,710.00
A.B. Hashmi, Inc. $275,000.00
1 of 11
April 19, 2022, Item #7
The
lowest
responsible
bid
received
by
Wright
Construction
Engineering
Corp
is
$78,000
above
the
engineer's
estimate.
The
engineer's
estimate
was
based
upon
a
recently
completed
concrete
channel
rehabilitation
project
of
similar
scope
and
size.
The
increased
bid
amount
is
likely
due
to
escalating
costs
in
material.
The
available
project
budget
is
$149,818.70
which
is
insufficient
for
the
bid
amount.
An
appropriation
of
$89,981.30
is
being
requested
to
cover
the
remaining
amount
needed
along
with
a
10%
construction
contingency.
Environmental
Review:
The
proposed
project
is
Categorically
Exempt
from
the
California
Environmental
Quality
Act
(CEQA)
as
a Class
1 Categorical
Exemption,
pursuant
to
Section
15301
of
the
CEQA
Guidelines,
in
that
the
project
involves
minor
alterations
consisting
of
replacement
of
existing
equipment.
Fiscal
Impact:
There
is
insufficient
funding
available
in
the
Springvale
and
Carlson
Channel
Rehabilitation
project
account
(DR006)
to
award
the
contract.
An
appropriation
of
$89,981.30
from
the
Drainage
Fund
(2310)
will
provide
the
necessary
funds
for
the
contract
award
along
with
a
10%
construction
contingency.
Sufficient
funds
are
available
in
the
drainage
fund
for
this
request.
After
the
contract
is
awarded,
funds
in
the
amount
of
$21,800.00
will
be
available
for
construction
contingency
should
it
be
needed
