The City's two newest public piers - one on the Rhine Channel (adjacent to Lido Park Drive) and the other on the Grand Canal (at the end of Balboa Ave.) - are not part of this maintenance project. The remaining ten public piers, which are the subject of this project, are located at: 1. M Street (peninsula) 2. Washington Street (peninsula, Fun Zone area) 3. Fernando Street (peninsula, between Fun Zone and Bay Island) 4. 15th Street (peninsula) 5. 19th Street (peninsula) 6. Coral Avenue (Balboa Island, S. Bay Front) 7. Opal Avenue (Balboa Island, S. Bay Front) 8. Emerald Avenue (Balboa Island, N. Bay Front) 9. Sapphire Avenue (Balboa Island, N. Bay Front) 10. Park Avenue (Little Balboa Island, E. Bay Front) These piers have been in existence since approximately the mid- 1960s, and records indicate that some of them were re -built in the mid -1980s and again in the early 2000s. The purpose of this project is to revitalize the public piers by improving their appearance for end - users. Specifically, this project will focus on the pier component only (not the gangway or float) and will consist of: 1. Replacing composite decking with an improved, textured composite decking; 2. Replacing composite handrails with a milled, hardwood railing; 3. Replacing wood side railings with like- for -like material; and 4. Attaching new benches (purchased separately outside of this contract) to the piers. The existing blue finials, which help identify the public piers from the water, will be replaced with new finials under a separate contract later this summer. In addition, it is anticipated that future work on the floats and gangways will be phased in over the next few years as plans are developed. At 10:00 AM on April 30, 2014, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for this project: BIDDER TOTAL BID AMOUNT Low Associated Pacific Constructors $ 181,986.75 2 Optima RPM, Inc. $ 212,330.00 3 Swift Slip Dock + Pier Builders $ 248,285.60 4 Harbour Constructors Company $ 297,535.00 5 Bellingham Marine Industries, Inc. $ 350,835.00 6 John S. Meek Company, Inc. $ 367,325.00 7 Mode Engineering $ 385,675.00 The low bid submitted by Associated Pacific Constructors (APC) is approximately nine percent (9 %) below the $200,000 Engineer's Estimate.

APC in the past has satisfactorily completed numerous capital improvement projects for the City, including several on our Ocean Piers. Pursuant to the Contract Specifications, APC is allotted fifty consecutive working days to complete the overall construction.
