AGENDA TITLE: Rescind Contract Award and Re -Award Contract for 1997 Sidewalk Repair
Program and Miscellaneous Concrete Work ($48,670)
MEETING DATE: April 2, 1997
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution rescinding the
contract award to Tri -Valley Construction and re -awarding the contract for
the above project to Popuch Concrete Contracting, Inc. in the amount of
$48,670.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project will provide the City with a unit price bid for removing
and replacing curb, gutter and sidewalk in various locations
throughout the City. This is an annual contract and will be used to
administer the sidewalk repair program and to repair bad curb and
gutter as needed during 1997. A clause in the specifications will allow the City to extend the contract
an additional year if it is mutually agreed upon by City staff and the contractor. Purchase orders will be
issued for the work to be done.
This project was awarded to Tri -Valley Construction on February 5, 1997. On March 12, 1997, the City
received notice from Tri -Valley Construction that they were in financial difficulties and requesting to be
relieved of their contract obligations with the City of Lodi.
The City has not signed a contract with Tri -Valley Construction because there has been problems in
getting their insurance company to provide us with the proper wording and coverage on the certificate
of insurance.
The City received six bids on this project and the second low bidder was Popuch Concrete Contracting, Inc.,
of Lodi. Their bid of $48,670 is approximately $2,300 higher than that of Tri -Valley Construction.
Popuch Concrete Contracting, Inc. has worked for the City on previous Sidewalk Repair Program and
Miscellaneous Concrete Work projects and is a very capable company.
Staff is now recommending that Council rescind the contract award to Tri -Valley Construction and re -
award the contract for the 1997 Sidewalk Repair Program and Miscellaneous Concrete Work to
Popuch Concrete Contracting, Inc., of Lodi in the amount of $48,670.
FUNDING: Budgeted Funds: Street Fund (32.0 Account) $41,631
Gas Tax (10"0 Account) $21,130
Project Estimate: $50,000
Bid Opening Date: January 15, 1997
