The low bidder, Kasa Construction, possesses a valid and current California State
Contractor's License Classification "A" as required by the Project specifications. A check
of the Contractor's references indicates satisfactory completion of similar projects for the
City and other public municipalities including the cities of Newport Beach, Orange, and
Mission Viejo. Kasa's total bid amount is just under the Engineer's Estimate of $230,000.
This project will landscape and irrigate a slope area behind Big Canyon Golf Course along
MacArthur between San Joaquin Hills Road and Ford Road and will convert the irrigation
of the MacArthur landscaped median to reclaimed (recycled) water. This is a part of the
Landscape Enhancement Program CIP which installs or rehabilitates various landscaping
throughout the City. Originally started in 2015, the project was put on hold during the
drought. During that time, Public Works and Municipal Operations staff came up with a
creative solution to find a reclaimed water source for the slope area and adjacent median
to make the project feasible and conserve potable water.
The work necessary for the completion of this contract consists clearing and grubbing;
grading, landscape establishment and maintenance, irrigation improvements, providing
as -built drawings and other incidental items to complete the work in places required by
the contract documents.
Pursuant to the Contract Specifications, the Contractor will have 90 consecutive working
days to complete the work. Liquidated damages are set to $500.00 per calendar day in
case of tardy completion.
