RE: ITEMS FOR JUNE 21, 1988 COUNCIL MEETING
OLD BUSINESS
Reject for Contract 1988-3, Fire Hall Exterior Modifications
Staff is recommending that Council reject the three bids that we received for the
fire hall exterior modifications for the following two reasons.
First, the bids received all exceed our budgeted and estimated cost. There is
$41,000 in the 1988 budget to cover this work.
Secondly, there was a mix-up between the bid opening dates. Our architect
advertised a bid opening at 2:00 p.m. on Monday, June 13, while City Council
approved a bid opening at 10:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 16. We received two bids
on Monday and one bid on Thursday.
Because of these two reasons, Staff is recommending that Council rejects these
bids and authorize a new bid opening at 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 14, 1988.
Meanwhile, the architect will modify the specifications to attempt to reduce the
cost to bring them in line with our budgeted amount. According to the bidders
some areas of the specifications could be modified to reduce costs and yet not
compromise the quality of this project.One example was that the heavy duty
nylon meshing that the stucco is applied onto could be substituted with a little
lighter duty meshing and save about $3,000.
For Councils information, our City Attorney is also recommending that we re -bid
this project.
