Analysis Bids on this project were opened on June 24, 2008. There were four bidders with bids ranging from $1,292,390 to $1,992,690. The engineer's estimate was $1,302,975. The low bidder was Bay Cities Paving and Grading, Inc. Of the four bidders, only the highest bid, Ray's Electric, met ACTIA's Small Local Business Enterprise (SLBE) goal of 10%. ACTIA reviewed the Good Faith Effort documentation from the low bidder in accordance with its Local Business Contract Equity Program. This review concluded that the low bidder did not put forth an effort to substantiate a "Good Faith Effort" and therefore did not meet ACTIA funding requirements. The second and third low bidders have similar issues in meeting ACTIA's goal. Since the only qualified bidder is approximately $700,000 higher than the low bidder, it is in the City's interest to re-bid the project. Staff anticipates re-bidding this project in Winter 2008 for a Spring 2009 start of construction.
