reject all bids received on
authorize readvertising for new bids for
Elevated Water Storage Tank, 114 Horth
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project is for the removal and disposal of the old
elevated water tank and tower. The tank, constructed
around 1910, does not meet current earthquake standards. A
study performed by Black R Veatch in 1978 concluded that
the tank should be replaced in lieu of truing to repair the aging structure.
Although still serviceable, the lack of a ready market for used tanks, coupled with
expensive dismantling and transportation costs, means the tank will probably be cut
up ind sold as scrap steel. Early last. _year, we contacted dismantlers in California
and: across the country. They agreed that, considering the type and aqe of talk,
demolition would probably be the most cost effective alternative.
Bid proposals for this project were opened on February 5, 19%, and Ford
Construction Company of Lodi was the apparent low bidder. A concern was raign'
the bid opening as to whether Ford Constructicn could bid on the project since
don't possess the C-21 specialty license required in the specifications, Fc;
Construction is licensed as ars "A" contractor and a C-21 specialty license is for
demolition work only. The California State Licensing hoard was contacted and they
gave us a ruling that an "A" licensed contractor could not bid or a protect which
involved only demolition.
Because of the difference between rhe low hid and thn othn; kids, the Public works
Department is recommending that all the bid, be rejected and that the Council
authorize the readvertisino for bids.
Ford Construction has herr notified of our recommrrdation drd they arra ilqn twins]
to get a clarification `rcrm the Stato 1-nensina Board. 11 additional information is
Submitted to the City before the Council meet0(,, this itpr; will lie movorl In the
regular calendar Or disctjsO nn and appropriate anion.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on ,lanuary 5, 1912_ The
