DISCUSSION:
At 9:00 a.m. on February 16, 2012, the City Clerk received sealed bids for the Bulkhead
and Seawall Repairs project. Bids packets were then opened and read aloud with a
final tabulation as follows:
No. BIDDER TOTAL BID AMOUNT
Low Surfside Restoration $141,300.00
2 Howard Ridley Co., Inc. $211,450.00
The total low bid amount is 54% percent below the Engineers Estimate of $305,000.00.
The lower price is the result of a continued favorable construction environment. As a
result of these favorable bid prices received, staff recommends establishing the
contingency at 25% of the bid price so as to provide additional funds for staff and the
contractor to address a backlog of bulkhead and seawall repairs while staying within the
25% cap for change orders established by the APWA Standard Specifications.
The work necessary for the completion of this contract consists of:
• Repairing existing expansion joints, cracks, & spalls in the Newport Island area.
• Replacing deteriorated joint material with new joint material in the Balboa Yacht
Basin and other City Bulkhead /Seawall structures.
• Repairing a concrete cap on an existing sand groin along the Little Balboa Island
South Bay Front.
• Other incidental items to be completed within the work areas as required by the
Plans and Specifications.
The low bidder, Surfside Restoration, possesses a California State Contractors License
Classification of "G27' as required by the project specifications. A check of Surfsidds
references indicated satisfactory completion of similar projects in the past for the City
and other agencies.
Pursuant to the contract specifications, Surfside will have 40 working days to complete
the work.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this project exempt from the California
Environmental Quality Act (`CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301(d) (maintenance activities
activities with negligible expansion) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of
Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential to have a significant effect
on the environment.
