Minutes - San Leandro City Council Meeting - August 7, 1995 Page - 6 - NEW BUSINESS (continued) 6.D. Resolution of Award of Contract to T & L Landscaping for North/South/West Dike Road Median Landscaping, Project No. 95-597-8670 (recommends award to the low bidder for bid amount of $104,611 .25) . Bob Rockett, City Engineer, said the second bidder was protesting the award. Mr. Rockett said T & L Landscaping's bid contained numerous minor inaccuracies, but staff could determine exactly what the contract meant by the information that was provided. He said T & L wanted to rescind their bid because they had bid too low on one item. However, State law does not permit withdrawal of a bid for this reason; therefore, staff recommended award. In response to Council questions, Mr. Rockett said the bid could only be withdrawn if an error had been made. He said if T & L refuses to sign the contract, their bid bond will be forfeited. The following Resolution was then introduced: Resolution No. 95-163, Resolution of Award of Contract to I & L Landscaping for North/South/West Dike Road Median Landscaping, Project No. 95-597-8670 (recommends award to the low bidder for bid amount of $104,611 .25) . (2791) Introduced by Council Member Myers, who moved its adoption, seconded by Council Member Loeffler, and carried by a majority vote (7) . A. Resolution Adopting Space Rent Agreement By and Between Brandenburg- Staedler Mission Bay Mobilehome Community, the City of San Leandro, and the Tenants of Mission Bay Mobilehome Community (adopts new five-year Lease, commencing December 1, 1995) . Vice Mayor Kerr said the tenants' committee worked very hard getting the information out and responding to suggestions. He said they had at least 17 meetings, and the park owners held meetings with anyone who wanted explanations. He said they did an excellent job in developing an agreement that the City Council subcommittee thinks is reasonable. He said the City Council does not negotiate the terms of the agreement but assists with the preparation. The role of the City is to ensure that the agreement in its entirety is reasonable and the tenants or majority of tenants understand it. Also, the agreement provides that the City mediate disputes over the terms during the life of the agreement and agrees to suspend consideration of a rent control ordinance and, if it does impose one, it would not apply to Mission Bay until expiration of the agreement. He said 78% of the tenants approved the agreement, and he said the Council committee, consisting of himself and Council Members Galvan and Polvorosa, recommended approval by the City Council .
