RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Approve the project drawings and specifications. 2. Award Contract No. 4315 to Anderson Air Conditioning, LP for the Total Bid Price of $195,434.00, and authorize the Mayor and the City Clerk to execute the contract. 3.

Approve Budget Amendment No. BA10- appropriating $156,000.00 from the unappropriated AQMD Fund Balance 1 to Account No. 7290- C8002014. DISCUSSION: At 10:00 A.M. on August 25, 2010, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for this project: MIN WA 01110V $195,434.00 $218,849.00 $225,000.00 $248,890.00 [ No Proposal j BIDDER Low Anderson Air Conditioning, LP. 2 SPEC Construction Co., Inc. 3 Monet Construction, Inc. 4 LA Design Group 5 Signature Contractors MIN WA 01110V $195,434.00 $218,849.00 $225,000.00 $248,890.00 [ No Proposal j Corporation Yard Fleet Shop CNG Modification Project —Award of Contract No. 4315 September 14, 2010 Page 2 The low total bid amount is 2% less than the Engineer's Estimate of $200,000. The low bidder, Anderson Air Conditioning, L.P. (Anderson Air Conditioning), possesses a California State Contractors License Classification "B" as required by the project specifications. A check of Anderson Air references indicates satisfactory completion of similar building modification projects involving construction of air -tight service bays and associated leak detector and alarm systems for other public agencies including Metropolitian Transit Authority and OCTA. A bid protest was received from SPEC Construction Co., Inc., claiming that Anderson Air Conditioning listed no subcontractors for this project and; therefore, did not have the specialty experience for the plumbing tasks or installation of the overhead reels that supply hydraulic and petroleum fluids. Staff reviewed Anderson Air Conditioning's proposal and confirmed that the proposal does include a list of subcontractors. One of the subcontractors is EFS West. EFS has an "A" Contractors License and therefore possesses the specialized engineering knowledge and skill for piping and other systems for the transmission of petroleum and other liquid or gaseous substances. Staff does not find merit in the SPEC Construction Co. bid protest and recommends award to Anderson Air Conditioning. The work necessary to complete this contract consists of modifying two existing service bays in Building "D" with steel framing and three full- height drywall partitions; doors, windows and HVAC including makeup -air ducts, roof - mounted duct inlets, and roof - mounted exhaust fans; a methane -leak detection system including roof - mounted detectors, control panels, and annunciators required for servicing CNG vehicles. The Project was previously advertised. The received bids were not acceptable and all bids were rejected on August 10, 2010. Pursuant to the Contract Specifications, the Contractor will have 60 consecutive working days to complete the work. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: This project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 Class 1 (a), of the CEQA Implementing Guidelines. This exemption covers the maintenance and alteration of existing public facilities with no expansion of an existing use. PUBLIC NOTICE: The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the City's official publication and in construction industry publications.
