TOTAL BID AMOUNT

$658,950.00
$669,000.00
$791,480.00
$893,345.00

$1,202,520.00
$1,308,475.00
$5,447,100.00
* Corrected Bid Amount
The low total bid amount is 17.2% percent below the Engineer's Estimate of $760,000.00.
Because of the downturn in the construction industry, contractor pricing is becoming very
aggressive as reflected in the low bid price. Contractors have stated that they are building these
jobs at cost to keep their crews busy.
The low bidder, John T. Malloy, Inc., possesses a California State Contractors License
Classification A as required by the project specifications. A check of the Contractors references
indicates they have satisfactorily completed similar projects for other municipalities including
several projects for the City of Newport Beach.

W. Ocean Front Alley Water Main Replacement —Award of Contract No. 4007
November 12, 2008
Page: 2
On September 23, 2008 Underground Utilities District Assessment District (AD) 99 -2 was
approved by property owners to underground the overhead utility lines in this W. Ocean Front
Alley. This water main project was designed, scheduled and bid contingent on the passing of
AD 99 -2. The City's Capital Improvement Program coordinates renovation, maintenance and
upgrading of the water and sewer utilities and alley repaving with the timing of the assessment
districts whenever possible. This allows the City to maximize the amount of utility work done in
these alleys while minimizing the impact to the homeowners.
Pursuant to the Contract Specifications, the Contractor will have 60 consecutive working days to
complete the work from the Notice to Proceed.
Environmental Review:
This project was determined to be exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) pursuant to Section 15332 of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines. This exemption
covers the infill developments within urbanized areas.
Public Notice:
The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the City's official publication and in construction
industry publications. Prior to starting work, two City prepared notices will be distributed by the
contractor to both residents and businesses. The first notice will be distributed ten days before
work in the area and the second notice 48 hours prior to starting work in the area.
Geotechnical, Material Testing, and Survey Services:
Geotechnical, material testing, and survey services are included within the construction contract
and will not be required for this project.

There are sufficient funds available in the following account for the project:
