Award Construction Contract to Quality Fence Co., Inc. <br />June 21, 2022 <br />Page 2 <br />DISCUSSION <br />The Stormwater Channel Fencing Upgrades FY 2021-22 project involves the installation <br />of new secure fencing along City -owned stormwater channels. The two locations <br />receiving new fencing as part of this project are the Minnie Channel (McFadden Avenue <br />east of Standard Avenue) and along the bike path on the south side of Santiago Creek <br />(west of Main Street) (Exhibit 1). Existing chain link fencing along the Minnie Channel is <br />dilapidated and subject to trespassing. In addition, portions of the Minnie Channel and <br />Santiago Creek currently do not have any fencing. The installation of the new secure <br />fencing will reduce water pollution, enhance public safety, and improve the aesthetics of <br />stormwater channels. <br />Public Outreach and Contractor Participation <br />This project was originally advertised for bid on January 6, 2022, with bids due on <br />February 1, 2022. However, the project was rebid due to a change in the scope of work. <br />To provide an opportunity for local vendors to submit bids, the City notified 1,439 regional <br />vendors via PlanetBids, many of which are Santa Ana -based. Six vendors requested <br />bidding documents, and a total of six bids were received. Bids were not received from <br />any Santa Ana contractors. <br />As legally required, a Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Orange County Register <br />newspaper on March 18, 2022 and March 25, 2022. The project was also advertised in <br />PlanetBids from March 17, 2022 through April 12, 2022.
