By Minute Motion:
1. Reject all bids for Contract No. C27370 for Mesa View Drive Street
Resurfacing Project (Project 638-08); and
2. Authorize City Clerk to re -advertise and call for bids for the subject

Discussion:
At the March 13, 2008 City Council Meeting, the Council authorized staff to call
for bids for the repair and resurfacing of Mesa View Drive. On May 27, 2008,
sealed bids for the project were opened and read aloud. The following is a
summary of the bids received:
Palm Canyon Contractors Yucaipa, California $615,690.50
Ortiz Asphalt Paving. Colton, California $660,768.63
Hazard Construction San Diego, California $736,055.00
Granite Construction Indio, California $755,250.00
Skanska Riverside, California $775,000.00
Matich Corporation San Bernardino, California $853,853.00
Staff reviewed the contract documents and found irregularities in the low bidder's
proposal. Staff has also learned of an innovative paving operation which
recycles the old asphalt surface into the new street structure. Public Works
employees are going to observe the technique to determine if it will work well for
this street project. After consulting with the City Attorney regarding the
irregularity, and learning of the alternative paving method, staff recommends
Council reject all bids and direct staff to re -bid.
