PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: REJECT ALL BIDS FOR CONTRACT NO. C34440 AND AUTHORIZE
CITY STAFF TO RE -BID THE CIVIC CENTER TURF REDUCTION
PHASE I PROJECT (PROJECT NO. 963-16)
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: October 8, 2015
Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Reject all bids for Contract No. C34440 for the Civic Center Turf Reduction
Phase I project (Project 963-16); and
2. Authorize City staff to re -bid the project.
Background
A Notice Inviting Bids was advertised and sealed bids were received and opened on September
21, 2015. Five bids were received ranging from a low bid of $133,419.25 to a high of
$268,731.75; however, the low bid was deemed non -responsive due to lack of a signature.
Staff's estimate for this project was $110,000 less a rebate from the Coachella Valley Water
District's turf buy back program for a net project estimate of $95,000. Because the bids came in
higher than the estimate, staff recommends rejecting all bids and rebidding the project. Prior to
rebidding, staff will reassess the scope of the project in an attempt to receive a bid more closely
matching the estimate.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
