DISCUSSION Santa Ana Memorial Park Pool was constructed in 1961 and was last renovated in 1994 (Exhibit 1) Further renovation is necessary at this time to meet health code regulations and reduce maintenance expenses. This project provides for the repair of leaks and the replacement of mechanical equipment, pool plaster, tiles, and underwater lights. Once completed, the renovation will improve the safety and visual appearance of the pool and reduce maintenance costs. The Notice Inviting Bids was advertised on February 11, and 13, 2009, and bids were opened on March 4, 2009. A summary of the bid invitations mailed, the bids received, and the bid results follows. Santa Ana Contractors receiving notices: 15 Contractors requesting bidding documents: 10 Bids received: 2 Bids received from Santa Ana Contractors: 0 NAME OF BIDDER CITY BID AMOUNT 1. J. M. Pools & Spa, Inc. Rancho Cucamonga $203,108.80 2. Condor, Inc. El Monte $228,445.00 23A-1 Reject of bids for Memorial Park Pool Renovation April 6, 2009 Page 2 Two bids were received. After bids were opened, Condor, Inc. submitted a bid protest in accordance with bidding instructions indicating several irregularities in the bid submitted by J. M. Pools & Spa, Inc. A protest hearing was held by the Executive Director of Public Works on March 18, 2009. After reviewing the bidding documents and information provided by the bidders, staff concluded that some irregularities existed in the bid submitted by J. M. Pools & Spa, Inc. and were due, in part, to unclear direction provided in the contract documents. In addition, staff was uncertain that the pool construction, if started in mid-April, would be completed before the Memorial Day weekend, the official time the pool opens every year. Therefore, staff recommends that all bids be rejected. Rejecting all bids and re-bidding will be fair to all contractors wishing to bid on the Project. Following Council action, staff will revise the contract documents to clarify any ambiguities and re-bid the project at the end of this summer.
