File Number: 17-396 <br />Staff verified that the contractor has a valid license with the Contractor’s State License Board <br />and is registered with the California Department of Industrial Relations. At the mandatory <br />pre-bid meetings, staff presented the requirements of the Local Inclusion Policy Ordinance, <br />responded to bidder questions, and provided contact information for free technical assistance <br />if needed. Bidders were also provided with a list of contractors performing trades applicable <br />to this project’s construction that currently hold business licenses with the City of San <br />Leandro. <br />This project is subject to the provisions of the Community Workforce Agreement (CWA). <br />Each attendee was advised of the agreement in writing and verbally at the mandatory pre- bid <br />meetings and was given contact information for the Bay Area Business Roundtable, an <br />organization hired by the City to provide free guidance in achieving compliance with the CWA. <br />The bidder will sign the Community Workforce Agreement commitment form with the other <br />contract documents. <br />As is standard in the construction industry, staff balanced site investigation costs with the risk <br />of finding unforeseen conditions during construction as well as the design costs with the level <br />of detail on the plans. As a result, unforeseen conditions may be encountered during <br />construction and plan details may need to be adjusted or clarified. In order to minimize delay <br />to the project and ensure that the scope of work is adjusted as needed to provide the highest <br />quality project for the City, staff requests that the City Council authorize the City Manager or <br />his designee to negotiate and approve individual change orders up to 5% (or $152,423) of the <br />original contract amount and cumulative change orders up to 15% (or $457,269) of the <br />original contract amount. This will ensure efficient completion of the project on budget and on <br />schedule. <br />Current Agency Policies <br />·Maintain and enhance San Leandro’s infrastructure. <br />Previous Actions <br />·On June 15, 2015, by Resolution No. 2015-104, the City Council approved a <br />Community Workforce Agreement with the Alameda County Building and Construction <br />Trades Council and its affiliated local unions governing labor procedures for City <br />construction projects valued above $1,000,000. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />·Goal T-2: Design and operate streets to be safe, attractive, and accessible for all <br />transportation users whether they are pedestrians, bicyclist, transit riders or motorists, <br />regardless of age or ability. <br />·Goal T-5: Improve major transportation arteries for circulation in and around the City. <br />o Policy T-5.3: Maintenance. <br />·Goal T-6: Minimize the adverse effects of business, industrial, and through traffic on <br />neighborhood streets. <br />o Policy T6-1: Traffic Calming Strategies. <br />Page 3 City of San Leandro Printed on 7/11/2017 <br />457
