AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Rejecting All Bids, Approving Plans and Specifications, and
Authorizing Re -Advertisement for Bids for Blakely Park — North Pool Improvements
MEETING DATE: July 18, 2018
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt resolution rejecting all bids, approving plans and specifications,
and authorizing re -advertisement for bids for Blakely Park — North Pool
Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized
advertisement for bids on May 2, 2018. This project includes
removing the existing concrete deck and plaster/fiberglass pool
finish and installing a new white plaster finish and concrete decking, along with other miscellaneous
improvements.
The City received the following two bids on June 20, 2018:
Bidder Location Bid Above/(Below)
Estimate
Engineers Estimate
California Waters Dev*
Tricon Construction
Yorba Linda
Rancho Cordova
$185,495.50
$355,692.00
$499, 200.00
$170,196.50
$313,704.50
*The bid for California Waters Development, Inc. was not located at the time of the bid opening. City of Lodi Staff located the bid in the City
Clerk's office, and opened the bid subsequently.
The bid amounts significantly exceeded the Engineer's Estimate. City Staff confirmed with staff from
California Water Development, Inc. that the scope of the project was appropriate and necessary to
comply with current codes and revealed that the cost for pool reconstruction has risen significantly due to
the high demand and the specialized nature of the work.
To reduce the project costs, Staff is recommending concrete resurfacing of the concrete band around the
pool in lieu of costly chipping and replacing the existing band. Staff will also open the bid to Class A
contractors to attract more bidders and increase the construction completion date to accommodate
contractors with impacted schedules.
The specifications are on file in the Public Works Department. The planned re -bid opening date is August
22, 2018. The project estimate is $404,500.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The project will have a minimal impact on annual maintenance costs, and
will reduce the City's exposure to claims related to the condition of pool
decking. This project will not impact the General Fund.
