Softball Complex Bleacher Project
MEETING DATE: July 21, 1999
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council reject the bids received for the Softball
Complex Bleacher Project and authorize the re -advertisement for
bids for this project.
BACKGROUND: On March 17, 1999, City Council approved plans and specifications
and authorized the advertisement for bids for the Softball Complex
Bleacher Project. This project addresses the need to bring
spectator bleachers up to code requirements for public access. This is an approved Community
Development Block Grant project for 1998/99.
On June 23, 1999, bids were opened with two bidders responding. The bid of Benton Fence & Drilling
Company of Galt did not meet specifications due to not meeting the minimum thickness required for seats,
treads and walkway planks. The second bidder was Wright & Associates of Castro Valley for $83,288.28.
This bid is over $33,000.00 in excess of the Engineer's estimate. This amount is excessive and
unacceptable.
FUNDING: Not applicable.
