ITEM:

Discussion and possible action on any and all matters regarding the bidding process for the construction of the 9B Restroom Facilities Project. (Lizandro Galaviz, Director of Parks & Recreation)

SUMMARY:

Last month an invitation to bid was placed in the newspaper on behalf of the City of San Luis - Parks & Recreation Department for the 9-B Retention Basin Park Restroom Facilities Project. This was done in hopes of getting qualified vendors to assist with the construction of an Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant restrooms keeping in mind mobilization, construction of a 473 square-foot restroom facility, and post-construction clean up as well as any other work incidental to the project as specified in the Specifications and Project Plans. 

On July 08, 2020, the City Clerk's Office received bids from 4 Powers Contracting, LLC, Merrill Walker Builders, Inc., and Yuma Valley Contractors. All closed bids were opened on July 08, 2020, at 3:00 pm. Upon staff reviewing bids, staff would like to recommend to City Council to reject the current bids due to them being higher than expected. All three (3) bids are currently extremely over budget.
 
Staff would like to recommend the possibility of using sub-contractors as well as in-house labor. Sub-contractors and in-house labor would stay within budget and begin the construction of the 9B Restroom Facilities Project. 

RECOMMENDATION / SUGGESTED MOTION:

I MOVE TO REJECT BIDS RECEIVED FOR THE 9B RESTROOM FACILITIES PROJECT  DUE TO BIDS BEING OVER BUDGET AND DIRECT STAFF TO EXPLORE COST-EFFECTIVE OPTIONS.
