The transition work is focused on City- owned buildings, <br />parks and recreation facilities. Various facilities were grouped together and programmed into <br />a fifteen year schedule. The current project focuses on outdoor aspects such as ADA parking <br />spaces, path of travel, and curb ramps identified in the Plan located at City Hall, Marina Park, <br />the Marina Community Center, and the Main Library. <br />The project is funded with a portion of the City's annual Community Development Block Grant <br />(CDBG) received from the Federal government, and the General Fund. <br />Analysis <br />A total of three bids were received on April 5, 2016 ranging from $339,950.00 to $464,050.00. <br />Souto Brothers Landscaping & Concrete Construction, Inc. submitted the lowest responsive <br />bid of $339,950.00. As the engineer's pre-bid estimate was $214,525.00, $125,425.00 less <br />than the lowest bid, staff's observation is that current bidding trends point to volatility in project <br />bidding. <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 5110/2016 <br />
