The contract documents included a bid alternate for the removal of excess blow sand and installation of decomposed granite (dg) in median approximately one-half(1/2) mile south of Gerald Ford Drive to the Palm Desert City limit. The low bid of$141,400 is well below the original Engineer's Estimate of$315,136. Staff requested a proposal from Conserve Landcare, the low bidder, for blow sand removal and dg installation, as described in Alternate No. 1, for the median north of Gerald Ford Drive to A Street. This median has been inundated with blow sand, burying plant material and covering the dg. This was not included in the contract documents due to anticipated cost.
