Corrected Bid Amount is $329,729.12
" Corrected Bid Amount is $382,465.55
The low total (corrected) bid amount is 36 percent below the Engineer's Estimate of
$530,600. The low bidder, Pro Tech Engineering, possesses a California State
Contractors License Classification "C -10" as required by the project specifications.
However, Pro Tech Engineering's documented performances on previous contracts with
Traffic Signal Modernization Phase 1 —Award of Contract No. 3875
May 27, 2008
Page: 2
the City have been unsatisfactory. More specifically, Pro Tech Engineering was
awarded the Balboa Peninsula Streetlight Modifications project in June 2001. There
were numerous problems throughout the project concerning inferior quality work, .
uncompleted work, and incorrectly installed facilities. Examples of work performance
safety problems to the City included missing ground wires, improper splices, and
exposed fuses and wires. Extensive corrective work was required extending the final
project completion date and resulting in costly change orders. Additionally, recent
failures of that streetlight system have been traced back and attributed to Pro Tech
Engineering's inferior installation including direct violations of the adopted Electrical
Code. The City Council staff report, dated February 11, 2003, is attached for Council's
review of the Balboa Peninsula Streetlight Modification project.
In addition, a review.of Pro Tech Engineering's references, and discussions with other
municipalities, has shown that other agencies have had recent similar experiences
during construction.
On May 2, 2008, a letter was sent to Pro Tech Engineering indicating that the Public
Works Department determined it was not a responsible bidder (see attached). Staff
provided the contractor the opportunity to submit detailed documents by May 14, 2008,
which would dispute our findings and support their ability to perform quality work. In
addition, the company was required to provide certification that all employees
performing work as electricians are certified. The Public Works Department did not
receive a response from Pro Tech Engineering by the May 14 deadline.
Due to the history of previous contract experience and poor references received, staff
recommends rejecting the low bid as non - responsible, and awarding the contract to the
second low bidder, Dynalectric, as the lowest responsible bidder. Staff strongly
believes that it is important to have a responsible contractor complete the construction
for this first and important Traffic Signal Modernization project.
The second low total (corrected) bid amount is 28 percent below the Engineer's
Estimate of $530,600. The second low bidder, Dynalectric, possesses a California
State Contractors License Classification "C -10" as required by the project specifications.
Reference checks on Dynalectric have indicated that they are a responsible bidder.
Construction work for the Traffic Signal Modernization Project — Phase 1 includes the
installation of fiber -optic communications, CCTV cameras, and new traffic signal
controller equipment. The contractor will install communication connections with the
Central Library in advance of the installation of the new traffic signal field equipment and
the new Traffic Management Center (TMC) at the new City Hall. In addition, to improve
pedestrian safety within the. Corona Del Mar area, a pedestrian traffic signal will be
installed at the intersection of Coast Highway and Iris Avenue.
Pursuant to the Contract Specifications, the Contractor will have 100 consecutive
working days to complete the work.

FROM: Public Works Department
R,Gunther, P.E.
949 - 644 -3311
rgunther@city.newport-beach.ca.us
SUBJECT: BALBOA PENINSULA STREETLIGHT MODIFICATIONS, CONTRACT
NO. 3416 — COMPLETION AND ACCEPTANCE
RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Accept the work.
2. Authorize the City Clerk to file a Notice of Completion.
3. Authorize the City Clerk to release the Labor and Materials bond 35 days after the
Notice of Completion has been recorded in accordance with applicable portions of
the Civil Code.
4. Release the Faithful Performance Bond 1 year after Council acceptance.
DISCUSSION:
On June 26, 2001, the City Council authorized the award of the Balboa Peninsula
Streetlight Modifications contract to ProTech Engineering of Anaheim, California. The
contract provided the replacement of streetlights on Balboa Peninsula under the City's
fifteen -year program to convert obsolete 5000 -volt series streetlight circuits and replace
aging facilities. The project provided the replacement or refurbishment of 103
incandescent lights and approximately 20,000 feet of electrical conduit and wiring on
the Ocean Front sidewalk to Newport Pier, along Balboa Boulevard between Island
Avenue and 2811 Street, and extending north of 32nd Street to River Avenue between
Marcus and Lake Avenues.
The contract has now been completed. However, there were numerous problems
throughout the project concerning Inferior quality work, uncompleted work, and
incorrectly installed work that presented safety problems (missing ground wires and
fuses, and exposed wires) to the City. The project required City Staffs continual
persistence to have corrections made by the contractor.
The contractor claimed on three separate occasions to have completed the project, yet
on the first two occasions, It was shown the work was significantly deficient and
incomplete. The second punch list for the project was so extensive, over 500 corrective
Items were shown on the 14 sheets of drawings. Through extensive effort by City Staff,

ACCEPTANCE
February 11. 2003
Page 2
the contractor made most of the required corrections; however, for the two items left
unfinished the contractor was charged $6,200.
The extensive corrective work required extending the final project completion,
consuming both staff time and resources. In the final negotiations with the contractor,
the contractor was charged an additional $8,000 on Change Order No. 9 in lieu of
charging liquidated damages.
A summary of the contract cost is as follows:
Original bid amount: $375,807.50
Actual amount of bid items constructed: 382,357.50
Total amount of change orders: 74,209.30
Final contract cost: $456,56$.80
The increase in the amount of actual bid items constructed over the original bid. amount
resulted from the need for additional deeper pullboxes on Balboa Boulevard exceeding
the bid item quantities. The final overall construction cost including change orders was
21.49 percent over the original bid amount.
A total of 11 change orders were issued to complete the project. They were as follows:
No Cost time extension setting start date of September 24, 2001 and with 140
working days from start date.
2. No cost change order splitting bid item 9 into bid items 9 and 9a.
A change order in the amount of $21,000.00 provided for the installation of
deep conduit at 14 locations to run beneath the storm drain.
4. A deductive change order in the amount of $1,174.14 provided reimbursement
to the City for City repairs to a sewer main, bored through by the contractor's
boring machine.
5. A change order in the amount of $2,890.60 provided for the modification of
conduit size along Balboa Blvd. from specified 1 -1/4 inch to 1 -1/2 inch for entire
run (7620 LF).
A change order in the amount of $8,725.00 provided a revised power service,
an additional pole reinstallation, increased service pedestal size, revised
luminaire arms from 6 to 8 feet, and four additional pole reinstallations on Lake
Avenue.
7. A change order in the amount of $25,000.00 provided for the boring of conduit
between 35th and 38th streets and the relocation of 10 additional poles on
River, 35th, 24th, and Ocean Front.

8. A deductive change order in the amount of $518.66 provided reimbursement
for phone line repairs for the contractor's damage to the emergency phone line
to a lifeguard tower.
9. A deductive change order in the amount of $14,200.00 provided for
reimbursement to the City for the contractor's failure to install wire color per
plan ($3000), additional reimbursement to the City for contractor's failure to
install wire color per plan ($8,000, - assessed in lieu of liquidated damages),
and reimbursement to the City for 16 old pullboxes that were not removed by
the contractor.
10. A change order in the amount of $9,800.00 provided for additional amounts
due the contractor on Change Order Nos. 6 and 7.
11. A change order in the amount of $22,686.50 provided for increased wire sizes
required by the City.

Final Punch List Drawings
Dear Mr. Niknafs:
In your letter of June 14, 2002 you requested a final job -walk for this project, stating that all of
your work was completed. The final job -walk, began on Wednesday, July 3, 2002 and occurred
over a three -week period, being completed on July 16, 2002. Over 100 hours of City staff time
was invested in the job -walk and the compilation of the punch list drawings. ProTech attended
only the first three hours of the job -walk on the first day of the walk.
Poor Quality of Work Faultv Installations. and Unfinished Work
The attached red -lined drawings detail the tremendous number of work items that were found to
be installed improperly or left unfinished The number of faulty and unfinished work items was
so huge that it was impractical to list them. In fact it has taken close to a month to document and
assess the large number of items and to compile them on the attached contract drawings which
have been marked in red with the items to be corrected or finished (over 500 items). Many of
these items were brought to your attention by the inspector previously, while some were only
discovered during the job -walk where all items of work were opened up for final review. The
plans and specifications were clear as to the work items to be performed and you did not indicate
that you were unable to understand the plans and specifications. However, the large number of
defects in installation and unfinished work demonstrates that ProTech's quality of work was
severely lacking and that ProTech did not follow the plans and specifications for the project.
Safety Concerns
Potential safety hazards were confronted by City staff performing the job -walk (e.g. missing
ground wires in street light poles) and there are numerous substandard or unfinished items that
may present safety hazards for the City in the future.
Proiect ComRlletion
Due to the extensive nature of the faulty and unfinished work and related safety issues, we are
concerned with ProTech's ability to complete this project. ProTech's work is not complete as

claimed. The contract start date for the work was September 24, 2001 and the contracted
completion date was April 10, 2002. This date was extended through approved change orders
and non -work days to May 13, 2002. Since the work is not complete, ProTech is liable for the
contracted liquidated damages of $500 per day since May 13, 2002.
Please review the punch. Est drawings and contact Rob Masters at 949 -644 -3312 by Wednesday,
August 21 to discuss your schedule for completion of this project. If ProTech is unable to
complete the work per the contract plans and specifications, the City will make arrangements for
another contractor or the bonding company to complete the project.

Synopsis of Safety Items and Select I #ems from Punch List Drawings
(see attached 14 plan sheets)
A. Potential Safety Concerns.
1. Electrical ground wire is missing in Type I and Type II street light poles.
All poles are required to have a ground wire connection up the pole to connect to the .
luminaire as per note 6 on sheet 14 of the plans. The work as installed is a safety hazard.
2. Electrical wires in street light poles are wrong color throughout the project.
Color of electrical wires up poles are to match those of the wire colors specified for the
circuits as per note 6 on Page, 14 of the plans. (Either a black and red wire or a blue and a
yellow wire). The two black wires currently installed in poles do not meet this
specification. The color - coding of circuits is a current City utilities safety requirement
and was clearly called out on the plans.
3. Electrical wires in conduit are wrong colors throughout the project.
Colors of electrical wires in conduits are to be as specified on note 15 of sheet 1 of the
plans and Section 307 -14 of the specifications. The color - coding of circuits is a city
utilities safety requirement and was clearly called out on the plans and was clearly called
out on the plans.
4. Bare wire is exposed on terminal strips in numerous locations and needs to be
shortened. Electrical shorting can occur and is a safety hazard.
5. Color- coding of phase -wires changes color in pull boxes at noted locations. This is not
per specification and is a safety hazard.
6. Many fuses were wrong size or missing - City staff has now installed the missing fuses.
7. Light pple at 28th St. is in contact with an overhead wire and may be a safety hazard.
8. Circuit feeds are mis -wired and not per plan on sheet 12 and maybe a safety hazard.
B. Other Selected Items
1. No Certified Payrolls were ever received during the project to verify the payment of
prevailing wages as required in the contract "Instructions to Bidders." .
2. Grout caps at poles need to be removed and reformed 6 inches wide per plan sheet 14.
3. Landscaping repairs are incomplete and unacceptable, particularly along all of the
median islands on Newport and Balboa Blvds. Bushes were chopped out of the way and
not replaced. Damaged irrigation lines and heads need to be replaced to working order.
4. Sidewalk repairs are unacceptable. Note 11 on Page 1 of the plans calls for entire
sidewalk panels to be replaced wherever sidewalk work occurs. The low quality, poorly
.finished patches are to be removed as shown on the attached plans.
5. As -Built drawings were not submitted monthly as required and no final As- Builts have
been submitted for the project.
6. Written one -year guarantee for all installed materials has not been submitted.
The above list is only a small synopsis of the some of the major items of work remaining to be
done. All of the numerous items as detailed on the marked -up punch list drawings attached must
be corrected and finished for the project to be complete.

Dear Mr. Niknafs,
The phone line serving the Lifeguard Tower at 13th Street has been out since
approximately June 22, 2002. The line and conduit were damaged directly at the location
of the new streetlight foundation constructed by your crews as part of your work. We
have requested on several occasions, including by phone last week, that you repair this
damaged line.
Lack of phone service to the Lifeguard Tower has presented a serious life -safety concern,
since the lifeguard at Tower 13 may not be able to communicate with other towers,
headquarters, or with medical personnel in an emergency. .
Since we did not receive a response from you to our phone calls last week, we are having
the repairs made by another contractor today. Our intentions are to bill ProTech
Engineering for this work.

Subject: Traffic Signal Modernization Phase 1 Contract Bid
Dear Mr. Niknafs,
The City has reviewed your Bid Proposal dated April 21, 2008 in regards to the Traffic
Signal Modernization Phase 1 project. As you are aware, your company was the low
bidder with a corrected bid of $339,130.92.
As part of the City's consideration of the bid on all projects to be awarded, the Public
Works Department performs an analysis to determine whether the low bidder is a
responsible bidder. The term "responsible bidder" is legally defined as a bidder who has
demonstrated the attribute of trustworthiness, as well as quality, fitness, capacity, and
experience to satisfactorily perform the public works contract.
In conducting our analysis, the Public Works Department has found evidence that we
believe supports a determination that your company is not a responsible bidder as
defined by law. Specifically, as part of our analysis, our department contacted the
references included in your bid submittal as well as other municipalities whom your
company has performed work for in the past. We have also reviewed our department's
contract files related to previous projects completed by your company for the City of
Newport Beach. Based upon this analysis, the Public Works Department is planning to
reject your bid as submitted on April 21, 2008. It is our determination that your company
is not responsible because your past performance has failed to demonstrate that your
company has the requisite experience to satisfactorily perform quality work.
Attached is a City Council Staff Report dated February 11, 2003 outlining the issues of
inferior quality work, faulty installations, and unfinished work that presented quality and
safety problems to the City. That contract required excessive amounts of City staff
oversight and inspection. In addition, there have been continuing problems and
equipment failures related to that project that have necessitated the City to repair and

replace equipment that has failed subsequent to the contract completion. Our
discussions with other municipalities have been in regards to recent contract work by
your company. These conversations have confirmed our concerns regarding work
quality and safety issues. Other cities have indicated that they have had the following
problems including: safety issues related to improperly installed traffic control,
contractor installing previously -used materials, extra inspection requirements, contractor
completing and billing for unapproved work.
Pursuant to law, you have the opportunity to rebut this adverse evidence and present
detailed information that can attest to your ability to competently complete the contract
work with no project delays, using quality equipment and materials, and properly trained
personnel. Pursuant to California Labor Code 3099, certification is required for all
persons who perform work as electricians for contractors licensed as Class C -10
electrical contractors. Proof of certification shall be provided to the City for all individuals
working on the project.
If you would like to submit the required certification documents, and evidence regarding
your company's ability to perform quality work for our consideration and the City
Council's consideration, please submit this information by May 14, 2008.
If you have any questions about this matter, please contact me at (949) 644 -3329
