Determine the recommended actions are exempt for further review in accordance <br />with the California Environmental Quality Act as Categorical Exemption <br />Environmental Review No. ER-2023-31 was filed for Project 18-2681. <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Centennial Lake Circulation Renovation project is a comprehensive rehabilitation <br />effort to improve the existing 10-acre lake located in Centennial Regional Park (Exhibit <br />1). The current operational equipment and facilities originally installed in 1978 have <br />reached the limits of their design life. The functionality and efficiency of the system are <br />failing and the condition and health of the lake water have declined to the point where <br />park maintenance staff is unable to address the deficiencies. <br />The construction scope of work takes a holistic approach to restoring and rebalancing <br />the lake with measures involving both mechanical and biological systems and includes <br />new pumps, piping, aeration devices, and natural habitat improvements (Exhibit 2). <br />Public Outreach and Contractor Participation <br />To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified a total of 59 <br />regional vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana based. A total of two <br />bids were received with one bid from a Santa Ana contractor. <br />As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register <br />newspaper on January 19 and 26, 2023. The project was also advertised in PlanetBids <br />from January 25, 2023 through February 28, 2023. Bids were received electronically via <br />PlanetBids on February 28, 2023. <br />Bid Results Summary <br />Rank <br />Bidder's Name <br />Location <br />Base Bid <br />1 <br />CJW Construction, Inc. <br />Santa Ana, CA <br />$4,942,135 <br />NR <br />Zusser Company, Inc. <br />Los Angeles, CA <br />Non -Responsive <br />A total of two bids were received and of the two bidders, Zusser Company, Inc. was <br />non -responsive.
