File Number: 19-568 facility. Phase 1 was the demolition contract that removed the existing buildings and pool and cleared the land for the new facility. The facility will be comprised of a standard 75’ length by 62’ width, 4,650 square foot pool for lap swimming. The pool will be oriented with a 2’-6” deep shallow end closest to the facility entry for safety and allow for swim lessons. The pool will have six lanes for lap swimming, four of which will have 6’-6” deep water, which is sufficiently deep to allow the use of diving blocks. The project also includes Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant public changing rooms and restrooms; a staff area with a first aid station and training space and a pump and equipment building. The new facility will be completely fenced off from the school property. All access to the facility will be from Gill Lane, a public alley. On May 6, 2019, the City Council approved a Master Agreement between SLUSD and the City for recreational use and maintenance on several school sites that covers Farrelly Pool, Cherry Grove Park, Floresta Park, and Burrell Field-Pacific Sports Complex. The project was previously bid on June 25, 2019. One responsive bid was received in the amount of $6,620,000. It was rejected. Subsequently, a quote for the work was obtained through an umbrella contract that offers predetermined prices for construction work. The prices for components of construction are competitively bid without a specific project identified, and then the individual component prices are combined to assemble a quote for the entire project. This process is known as job order contracting (JOC) and complies with the City’s purchasing guidelines. The JOC process can reduce the time it takes to bid and award projects. Unfortunately, the JOC quote was rejected because the $7,761,559 quote was considerably higher than the engineers estimate. Analysis A total of four base bids without deductive alternates were received on October 15, 2019. Three of the bids were responsive and between $6,222,450 and $7,005,000. The pre-bid engineer’s estimate was $4,725,000. One bid, from USA Management, LLC was deemed non-responsive because the bidder does not have a Class B State of California Contractors License. Staff recommends award to the lowest responsive bidder, Tricon Construction, Inc. for the total base bid amount of $6,222,450. Staff recommends that the two deductive alternates, which would remove the cupola and change roof material from metal to composition shingle be rejected as the bid amount, $40,000 credit, does not warrant eliminating the architectural value of these items from the project. The City applied the Local Business Preference Policy to this competitive bid. Staff presented the requirements of the Local Business Preference Policy at the mandatory pre-bid meetings, responded to bidder questions, and provided contact information for free technical assistance. Bidders were also provided with a list of San Leandro contractors performing trades applicable to the project’s construction that currently hold City business licenses. None of the bidders have an office in San Leandro that would qualify them as a local business. Also, none of the bidders met the Local Business Participation Goal by subcontracting with San Leandro businesses for 25% of the contract value. The low bidder, Tricon Construction, Inc. certified as part of its bid that it did complete good faith efforts to include local businesses in the project. This project is also subject to the provisions of the Community Workforce Agreement (CWA). Each bidder was advised of the agreement in writing and verbally at the mandatory pre-bid Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 10/30/2019 203
