STAFF REPORT
REQUEST: AUTHORIZE STAFF TO NEGOTIATE A DESIGN -BUILD CONTRACT FOR
THE MATERIAL BIN COVER STRUCTURE PROJECT (PROJECT NO. 705-14)
SUBMITTED BY: Mark Greenwood, P.E., Director of Public Works
DATE: October 24, 2013
Recommendation
X E
By Minute Motion, Authorize Staff to Negotiate a Design -Build Contract for the Material
Bin Cover Structure Project (Project 705-14)
Background
To be in compliance with the California Regional Water Quality Control Board rules, the City is
required to cover any area where materials are stored. The rule is intended to prevent rain from
washing pollutants into the water system. At the City's Corporation Yard, there are five material bins
where clean sand, base material, cold -mix asphalt, and various other materials are stored. The
material bins have no cover over them.
A Request for Proposals was advertised in the newspaper on August 25, 2013, and contractors that
have constructed steel structures for the City in the past were notified of the project. However, no
proposals were received by the due date on September 18, 2013.
The City Attorney has indicated that, because the City received no response to the public request for
proposals, the City may negotiate a fair price with a design -build contractor to complete the design
and construction of the Material Bin Cover Structure.
Fiscal Analysis
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. Once a fee is negotiated, it will brought before
Council for consideration.
