AGENDA TITLE: Contract Award for Armory Park Improvements, 333 North Washington Street ($13,100)
MEETING DATE: October 7, 1998
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council reject the bid proposal received from A. M. Stephens
Construction Company and adopt the attached resolution awarding the
contract for the above project to Farwest Safety, Inc., of Lodi, in the amount
of $13,100; and appropriate funds in accordance with the recommendation
shown below.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This project consists of the demolition of concrete steps, removal of
the existing press box, and associated asphalt paving to provide
handicap access to the bleacher stands at Armory Park.
This project is being funded with Community Development Block Grant Funds which require that the
contractor meet certain Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program goals. A. M. Stephens
Construction Company, the apparent low bidder, did not meet the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
program requirements for this project due to an oversight on their part. Because of this and the need to
complete this work this fall, staff is recommending that Council reject A. M. Stephens' bid and award this
project to the second low bidder, Farwest Safety, Inc.
Plans and specifications for this project were approved on October 1, 1997. The City received the
following two bids for this project:
