BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project includes the installation of City -furnished lighting equipment from Musco Lighting, Inc. The time frame specified for the installation is August 25 through September 30, 1991 to avoid park scheduling conflicts. Plans and specifications for this project were approved on May 15, 1991. The City received the following eight bids for this project: Bidder Location Central Sierra Electric Jackson Overhead Electric Co. Elverta Cabar Electric Sacramento Richard Heaps Sacramento Van Alt Co. Lodi Grason Electric Sacramento Tri -Technic Inc. Jamestown Commercial Systems Electric San Mateo Bid $50,953.00* $54,027.00 $61,878.00 $62,568.00 $64,100.00 $64,456.00 $65,750.00 $88,750.00 *Did not include receipt of addendum During the bidding, an addendum to the pians and specifications was issued. All the bidders except the low bidder returned the receipt of the addendum with their proposal. The low bidder has stated that he was aware of the addendum and simply failed to include the receipt in the proposal. A letter and the receipt are attached. The addendum included four items: 1) Delivery Arrangement - The specifications stated that the Contractor was to pick up the City -furnished poles and lights at the Municipal Service Center. The addendum allowed the Contractor to make separate delivery arrangements directly with Musca. This could have no affect on the bid or save a few hundred dollars in handling costs depending on how the Contractor planned to do the work. APPROVED: THOMAS A. PET City Manager CC-: 11-KOFU4/TXT'd.02M (CO.COM) July 2, 1991 Kofu Park Sports Lighting July 17, 1991 Page 2 2) Pole Removal - The specifications required that the old poles were to be cut off one foot below grade and the holes backfilled. The addendum required them to be removed completely but also indicated if the Contractor cut off the poles seven feet above ground, the City would pull out the pole stub. The Contractor would fill the holes. Again, depending on how the Contractor planned to do the work, this could add a few hundred dollars in labor costs. 3) Enclosures - The addendum clarified the latching and padlock requirements for the service and switch panel door; no cost impact. 4) Plans - The control wiring diagram was clarified and a requirement that the electric service and lighting contacters be in the same enclosure or in matching enclosures was added- This could have added up to $1,000 depending on luw the Contractor planned to order and assemble the equipment. in contacting the other bidders, those who could be reached felt the addendum was of a minor nature with no substantial cost. One indicated the bid price with the addendum was $3,500 lower than it would have been. Since the addendum was of a minor nature in relation to the project cost, it is reasonable for the Counci? to waive the informality and award the bid to the low bidder. Alternately, the Council could reject the bid and award to the second bidder. In order to meet the construction schedule, it is recommended that the project not be rebid since the Contractor still must order a service and switch panel which will take some time.
