Description/Analysis
Issue Detail: On July 23, 2025, the Department of Youth, Parks, and Community Enrichment (YPCE) Park Maintenance Division issued Invitation to Bid No. B26191311001 for irrigation supplies for parks. Three companies submitted bids. One bid was withdrawn, another was deemed nonresponsive, and the remaining lowest responsible bid exceeded the anticipated cost. Staff recommend rejecting all bids, revising the bid documents, and reissuing the invitation for bids at a future date to obtain competitive bids within budget.
Policy Considerations: The recommendation in this report is in accordance with City Code Chapter
3.56 regarding the rejection of bids for supplies contracts of $250,000 or more.
Economic Impacts: None.
Environmental Considerations: No environmental review is necessary because the recommendation in this report involves administrative action that is not considered to be a project in accordance with Section 15378(b)(2) of the California Environmental Quality Act guidelines.
Sustainability: Not applicable.
File ID: 2025-01318 9/9/2025
Commission/Committee Action: None.
Rationale for Recommendation: Reissuing the invitation for bid will allow the YPCE staff to revise the bid documents to address ambiguities and ensure all requirements, including the pricing schedule, are clearly defined. This approach is expected to increase competition, attract more responsive bids, and result in proposals that align with the department’s budget.
Financial Considerations: Rejecting all bids has no impact on the department operating budget.
Local Business Enterprise (LBE): Not applicable.
