Strategic Plan
The Citywide Bike-Golf Cart Lane Improvements, Project No. 565-18, fulfills the following
priorities identified in the City’s Strategic Plan:
• Tourism and Marketing – Priority 1: “Improve access to Palm Desert and its attractions
to enhance the ease of lifestyle.”
• Transportation – Priority 3: “De-emphasize single/low-occupancy vehicles and
optimize modes of travel (bus, carpool, golf-cart, bicycle and pedestrian).”
Background Analysis
In 2017, the City was awarded up to $85,000 in SB 821 funds in the form of a reimbursement
grant. The City will match the grant from Measure A funds for costs related to the design and
construction of the Bike-Golf Cart Lane Improvements Project, which are eligible for
reimbursement.
Public Works staff started in-house design of the Project, but the design was suspended due
March 25, 2021 - Staff Report
Award Contract No. C36570B to PCI
Page 2 of 3
to retirement of the project manager. While the project was suspended, 45 of the original 74
locations in the project have been already completed or are being completed through the
City’s resurfacing and slurry seal programs. The remaining 29 locations will be addressed
with the construction contract being recommended for award. Of those 29 locations, 10
require signs, striping, and new loop installation or modification to existing loops. The
remaining 19 locations require signs and striping. The original proposed project locations
and the locations proposed for this contract are depicted in the attached Vicinity Map.
At its September 10, 2020 meeting, the City Council awarded Contract No. C36570A for
Citywide Bike-Golf Cart Lane Improvements to Michael Baker International, Inc. of Palm
Desert, California in an amount of $49,750 to complete the project design. Design was
completed in December, 2020.
The Project was advertised for bid on January 12, 2021, and on February 16, 2021, four bids
were received via the City of Palm Desert’s online PlanetBids bidding portal with the following
results:
Contractor Location Total Base Bid
PCI Azusa, CA $92,310.00
Sterndahl Enterprises Inc. Sun Valley, CA $92,650.00
Elecnor Belco Electric, Inc. Chino, CA $106,900.00
Chrisp Company Bloomington, CA $110,500.00
Staff reviewed the bid received from PCI and determined that they are the lowest responsible
bidder submitting a responsive bid.
The engineer’s estimate for the Project is $73,803.60, which places the bid from PCI at
approximately twenty-five (25) percent higher than the estimate. The design engineer
reviewed the bid proposals and contacted bidders to ascertain why bids were higher than the
engineer’s estimate. Refer to the bid analysis memorandum from the design engineer.
Feedback from bidders indicates that the engineer estimated low, not taking into account
greater cost for contractor mobilization for the many locations within the Project. While the
engineer’s estimate is low in light of the feedback from bidders, no feedback was received
indicating that the plans or specifications were deficient. Had feedback been received
indicating a flaw in the plans or specifications, staff would have considered recommending
rejecting bids and re-bidding the project. Therefore, staff recommends awarding the contract
to PCI.
Fiscal Analysis
The City’s Capital Improvement Project (CIP) list for Fiscal Year 2020-2021 included Measure
A funds for the design and construction of this project under the Citywide Street Striping and
Lane Improvements Projects and Citywide Bikeway and Pedestrian Improvements. In
addition, the City will be reimbursed from SB 821 funds up to $85,000 in matched funds.
There will be no impact to the City’s general fund.

organized under the laws of the State of California, with its principal place of business at 73-510
Fred Waring Drive, Palm Desert, California 92260, sometimes hereinafter called the “City” and
PCI, sometimes hereinafter called “Contractor.”
WITNESSETH: That the parties hereto have mutually covenanted and agreed, and by these
presents do covenant and agree with each other as follows:
ARTICLE 1. SCOPE OF WORK.

surety shall be liable to the City for any damages arising as a result of the Contractor’s failure to
comply with this obligation.
ARTICLE 2. TIME FOR COMPLETION.
Time is of the essence in the performance of the Work. The Work shall be commenced on the
date stated in the City’s Notice to Proceed. The Contractor shall complete all Work required by

ARTICLE 3. CONTRACT PRICE.
The City shall pay to the Contractor as full compensation for the performance of the Contract,
subject to any additions or deductions as provided in the Contract Documents, and including all

and to furnish a bond for the faithful performance of said Contract Documents.
NOW, THEREFORE, we, ______________________, the undersigned Contractor and
________________________________________________ as Surety, a corporation organized
and duly authorized to transact business under the laws of the State of California, are held and
firmly bound unto the City in the sum of Ninety Two Thousand Three Hundred Ten and Dollars
($92,310.00), said sum being not less than one hundred percent (100%) of the total amount of
the Contract, for which amount well and truly to be made, we bind ourselves, our heirs, executors

THE CONDITION OF THIS OBLIGATION IS SUCH, that, if the Contractor, his or its heirs,

well and truly keep and perform the covenants, conditions and agreements in the Contract
Documents and any alteration thereof made as therein provided, on its part, to be kept and

intent and meaning; and shall faithfully fulfill all obligations including the one (1) year guarantee
of all materials and workmanship; and shall indemnify and save harmless the City, its officials,

this obligation shall become null and void; otherwise it shall be and remain in full force and effect.

there shall be included costs and reasonable expenses and fees including reasonable attorney’s
fees, incurred by the City in enforcing such obligation.
As a condition precedent to the satisfactory completion of the Contract Documents, unless

remains. Nothing herein shall limit the City’s rights or the Contractor or Surety’s obligations under

City of Palm Desert, California
Date: March 9, 2021
From: Octavio Hernandez, PE, Michael Baker Intl_
To: Randy Bowman,
73510 Fred Waring Dr, Palm Desert, CA 92260
The purpose of this Memorandum is to explain our understanding of the engineer's estimate and
how it compares to the bidder's estimate.
The engineer's estimate is based on the Caltrans' contract cost data as well as previous projects
within the region. The contractor's markup is higher for locations with relatively small amount of
work, such as the installation of one or two pavement markings per location. The contractors are
looking at this project as separate projects instead of one continuous project and not taking
advantage of the economy of scale. They are also adding mobilization all throughout the locations
and this is driving up the cost. The engineer's estimate considers that multiple locations can be
done in one day, and therefore, the mobilization costs are lower. The inforination was verified with
two of the bidders.
