AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Rejecting All Bids for Cluff Avenue (Northeast) Sewer Lift Station
Improvements
MEETING DATE: June 20, 2018
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution rejecting all bids for Cluff Avenue (Northeast) Sewer
Lift Station Improvements.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Council approved the original specifications and authorized the
advertisement for bids on May 2, 2018. This project included
replacing 72 feet of ductile iron pipe with new PVC piping that is
designed to be extremely resistant to corroding. This project also included replacing miscellaneous pipe
valves and fittings, installing a flow meter, and other incidental work.
The City received the following bid on May 23, 2018
Bidder Location Bid
Engineer's Estimate $49,877
RTC Construction Mgmt. Merced $204,277
Above/(Below)
Engineer's Estimate
$154,400
Following the bid opening, staff contacted RTC Construction Management, Inc. to ascertain the reason for
the high bid price. The contractor indicated the small, utility congested site, did not have adequate space for
the excavation equipment and the electrical panels and one of the utility vaults and generator would have to
be temporarily removed and reinstalled after construction. Staff is currently investigating trenchless pipe
rehabilitation alternatives to address the corroding pipe.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
