Recommendation
By Minute Motion:
1. Reject all bids for Contract No. C23210H for the Freedom Park Well
Site Improvements Project (Project No. 713-13); and
2. Authorize City Clerk to re -advertise and call for bids for the subject
project
Background
The final step that needs to be completed prior to turning over the Freedom Park Well
Site to CVWD is extending a water line and electrical conduit into the well site. The
project was advertised, and on August 12, 2014, bids were opened and read aloud.
The following is a summary of bids received:
Contractor Location Bid Amount
Pyramid Building Hesperia, CA $90,840
Kincaid Industries Thousand Palms, CA $98,902
Staff reviewed the contract documents and found irregularities in the apparent low
bidder's proposal. Additionally, both bids were higher than anticipated. Staff would like
to take the opportunity to re -scope the project to reduce the price. Staff recommends
that Council reject all bids and direct the project to be re -bid.
