The City has a notable damaged concrete backlog that presents risks to public safety. The goal is to replace high severity defects in residential sidewalks, driveway approaches, wheel chair ramps and cross-gutters to reduce slip, trip, and fall claims.  The repair of damaged curbs and gutters will also help ensure proper storm and nuisance water drainage, which will aid in efficient storm-water movement and mosquito control.            

In response to prescribed bidding procedures, two (2) bids were received and were deemed responsive.  The bid results are as follows:

                Contractor                               Total Cost

CJ Concrete Construction, Inc.              $1,837,350

Santa Fe Springs, CA                             Option B

                                                                  $1,143,350

Golden State Constructors, Inc.                 $2,318,500

Placentia, CA                                            Option B

                                                                   $1,375,000

Staff has examined the bids received and determined that the lowest responsible bidder is C J Concrete Construction, Inc.. Upon researching the proposed contractor's service history, no discrepancies were found in customer service.

Bid prices for Option A (work completed using a combination of City crews and contractor) will not be utilized. Option B, (contractor completes all work) was submitted by bidders with the understanding that all work quantities given by the City were estimates.  The project quantities are anticipated amounts that were used as a basis for bidding purposes.  Actual available resources are limited to $450,000 for the first year and $450,000 per year for up to four (4) additional one-year extensions.

Funding for this project is available in the Fiscal Year 2016/2017 Street Division Budget with a not-to-exceed amount per year of $450,000 with a total contract for five (5) years of $2,250,000. A termination clause has been included in the contract should funding become unavailable.

It is recommended that the City Council:

• Award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, CJ Concrete Construction, Inc., in the amount of $450,00 for the first year, and four option years at $450,000 per year, for On-Call concrete construction; and
• Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement on behalf of the City and make minor modifications as appropriate.
