The sign is a replica of the old historic sign that once <br />stood across Main Street. The archway sign spans 87 feet across the <br />street and will provide a maximum clearance of 18 feet above the roadway <br />surface. The archway sign will enhance the appearance of the Main <br />Street corridor. The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on June 30 and <br />July 3, 2006, and bids were opened on September 12, 2006. A summary of <br />the bid invitations mailed, the bids received, and the bid results <br />follows. <br />Santa Ana Contractors receiving notices: 1 <br />Contractors requesting bidding documents: 6 <br />Bids received: 2 <br />Bids received from Santa Ana Contractors: 0 <br />NAME OF BIDDER CITY BID AMOUNT <br />1. LNI Custom Manufacturing, Inc. Hawthorne $ 220,100.00 <br />2. Superior Electrical Advertisings Long Beach $ 274,999.60 <br />A total of two bids were received and both were responsive. LNI Custom <br />Manufacturing, Inc. advised City staff that Bid Item #4 unit price was <br />incorrect as the product of their unit price multiplied by the quantity <br />is inaccurate. However, the bid amount is correct and the clerical error <br />does not change the total amount of the bid. After reviewing both bid <br />proposals, staff noted that Superior Electrical Advertisings made the <br />same mistake. Staff has found sufficient grounds to accept this clerical <br />error and recommends that LNI Custom Manufacturing, Inc.'s request be <br />granted. The lowest bid was submitted by LNI Custom Manufacturing, Inc. <br />for $220,100, which is below the Engineer's estimate of $369,500. <br />4 -2 <br />
