Rejection of Bids for <br />Catalina Street Pump Owners Association Water Service Connection & Diamond Park Mutual <br />Water Company Water Main Improvements (Project Nos. 10-6403 & 10-6404) <br />October 17, 2011 <br />Page 3 <br />concluded that failure of the apparent low bidder to provide Appendices E and F with its bid is a <br />minor inconsistency. <br />In reviewing the bidding documents, staff determined that these documents were developed at a <br />time when the City believed federal funds would be used to complete both projects. Since that <br />time, Proposition 84 funding was secured for both projects which does not require inclusion of <br />disadvantaged business outreach. <br />Since the source of funding does not have a DBE requirement, staff recommends that all bids for <br />both projects be rejected and re-advertised with new contract documents. The documents will <br />remove the DBE requirements and will provide clear directions to contractors which will most likely <br />result in more competitive bids for the City. Following Council action, staff will revise the notice <br />inviting bids and rebid both water main improvement projects. <br />ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT <br />There is no environmental impact associated with this action. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. <br />Raul Godinez I <br />Executive Dire r <br />Public Works Agency <br />RG/ET <br />23A-3
