At 10:00 AM on January 17, 2013, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for
this project:
The total low bid amount is 26.6% below the Engineer's Estimate of $1,600,000. The
disparity between the estimate and the actual bid prices reflects a continued favorable
construction market (including lower concrete prices), and possibly some level of
discount as the low bidder in already currently mobilized and working on the Central
Balboa and Newport Heights Alley and Street Replacement project for the City. The low
bidder, NOBEST, possesses a California State Contractors License Classification "A" as
required by the project specifications. A check of NOBEST's references indicates
satisfactory completion of similar projects for other public agencies, including the
recently completed the work on the Ocean Front Alley Replacement project for the City.
Given the favorable project unit prices by NOBEST, staff recommends establishing a
fifteen percent (15 %) contract contingency to be included in the contract award, totaling
$176;000.00. These added funds will provide an opportunity for the City to take
advantage of the low unit prices to perform additional concrete work within the project
limits.
