Annual Sidewalk Program 2011 -12 Award of Contract 2 September 19, 2011 year. These ramps are installed typically at resident requested locations and eventually at all intersections throughout the City. The City pays the entire cost for the installation of ramps, the repair of sidewalks along the frontage of City facilities, and the sidewalk within a curb return. Analysis A total of five (5) bids were received on August 17, 2011. The bids ranged from $271,140.00 to $365,200.00, with JJR Construction, Inc. submitting the lowest bid in the amount of $271,140.00. The engineer's estimate for construction was $400,000.00. A bid protest was received on August 23, 2011 from the second lowest bidder alleging that the low bidder failed to list a subcontractor for saw cutting work and asserting that this omission rendered the low bid unresponsive. The low bidder has informed us that saw cutting will be done by his own employees; therefore staff have found the low bid to be responsive and in compliance with the Public Contract Code and thus, staff have concluded that the protest is without merit. The exact quantity of work to be done will be determined by the extent of damaged sidewalk that is reported. Staff estimates that this contract will repair 1,600 linear feet of curb and gutter, 5,000 square feet of sidewalk, and install 7,400 square feet of wheelchair ramps along with minor quantities of driveway approaches and other related work. These quantities represent sidewalk, curb and gutter repair at approximately 60 properties and the installation of approximately 74 ADA wheelchair ramps.
