Item #18 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF MAY 21, 2002 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL CILL MEMBERS FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., CITY ENGINEER( {- SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION REQUEST TO AWARD CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT FOR THE TRAFFIC SIGNALIZATION PROJECT: RECHE CANYON ROADITOPANGA WAY, RECHE CANYON ROAD/SHANE DRIVE AND HUNTS LANEICOOLEY LANE TO THE LOWEST RESPONSIBLE BIDDER. DATE: MAY 9, 2002 The signals on Reche Canyon were publicly Bid last year; there were no Bidders. Engineering staff had the Reche Canyon Traffic Signals redesigned, added a signal on Hunts Lane/Cooley Lane to the Project, and solicited public Bids again. In the interest of beginning the construction of these proposed Traffic Signals, May 21, 2002 is the first available Council meeting after the May 20, 2002 Bid Opening Date. This will move the anticipated start of construction to June 20, 2002, creating a time gain of twenty-one (21) days (see Exhibit "A"). ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: In order to accomplish the Award of Contract at the City Council Meeting of May 21, 2002, the written recommendation for the Lowest Responsible Bidder, including the amount of the proposed Contract Award, will be presented at said meeting. In the normal course of Bid Review, Engineering Department staff routinely checks that all Bids submitted are in compliance with the Specifications, that the computations of the Bid Schedule are accurate, that the Bonds are valid and the Surety is acceptable, and that the Contractor has successfully and recently completed similar projects without problem. Staff's recommendation for the Lowest Responsible Bidder is based upon the sum total of this Bid Review process. ni
