BOX 14247 PALM DESERT, CA 92255-4247 SEPTEMBER 13, 2007 CONTRACT NO. R21090A By Minute Motion, that the Agency Board: (1) Authorize the award of Contract No. R21090A in the amount of $2,440,600 to Sierra Landscape Company, Inc. for the construction of landscaping at the Entrada del Paseo site; and (2) Authorize the Finance Director to set aside the amount of $244,060 as 10% contingency (use of contingency requires additional action); and (3) Appropriate $1,341,200 from unobligated Agency funds to Account No. 850-4358-433-4001 as remaining contract amount and contingency. The original budget for the Entrada del Paseo Landscaping is available in Account No. 850-4358-433-4001 for the 2007-2008 fiscal year. Discussion: On 23 February 2006, the Agency Board authorized the City Clerk to advertise and call for bids for the construction of the Entrada del Paseo Phase Two Landscaping. HSA Design Group and Randy Purnel Landscape Architects designed the 186,788 square foot area of landscaping. These landscape plans include: • The Entrada del Paseo Phase Two Landscaping (i.e., Eric Johnson Phase II); • Multi -Sensory Gardens; Staff Report Authorize award of Contract R21090A to Sierra Landscape Company, Inc. for construction of the Entrada del Paseo Phase 2 Landscaping Page 2 of 2 September 13, 2007 • Landscaping surrounding La Spiga Restaurant; • Landscaping adjacent to the Palm Valley Storm Channel; and • Master Irrigation Plans. The listed plan sets make up the Entrada del Paseo Phase Two Landscaping as directed and as required by a DDA between the Agency and the owners of the La Spiga restaurant. The advertisement for bids was published in the Desert Sun and plans were available for pick up and distribution through OCB Reprographic's PlanWell site. Seven contractors picked up plans and two attended the pre -bid conference held on 27 July 2007. On Friday, 24 August 2007, the sole bid submitted by Sierra Landscaping, Inc. (Palm Desert) in the amount of $2,440,600 was publicly opened and read. Since only one bid was received, staff requested a pricing breakdown of the original bid amount from the contractor for evaluation. Staff reviewed the breakdown on each of the projects in the bid set with the Public Works Landscape Manager and Construction Manager, and determined the price per square foot of landscaping and site work to be reasonable based on today's market. Staff has reviewed the bid, bid bond, and the documents required to be submitted at bid time and has found them to be in order. Staff also had the Construction Manager contact all other contractors who picked up plans to find out the reason for non -bids. The general consensus was that many of the landscape companies currently had enough work and could not take enough employees off of other jobs to complete a job of this scale. Based on staffs review and the bid results, staff recommends award of a contract to Sierra Landscape Company, Inc. in the amount of $2,440,600. Construction of the work will start in mid -October and will be complete in mid -February 2008.
