CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of October 26 1988 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Leslie A. Keane, Assistant City Manager SUBJECT: AWARD OF CONTRACT FOR RENOVATION OF CITY Date: 10/19/88 HALL COURTROOM FACILITY The current year's capital improvement program contains funds to renovate the former courtroom facility for use by the Police Department. The project design has been completed and all of the required building permits issued. In accordance with City policy, we advertised for bids for this project in all of the local.newspapers on September 15, 16, 22 and 23. One bid, in the amount of $114,713, was received. Since this amount was significantly over the amount budgeted for the project, the Council rejected this bid on October 6, and authorized staff to rebid the project. No bids were received during the second bidding process. The State Public Contract Code, Section 20166, specifies that if no bids__are_ received for a public works project, a legislative body may have the project constructed with no further compliance with the Code. We have verified this fact, and the process followed to date with the City's financial auditors. The Council may, if it wishes, authorize work on the courtroom renovation without further bid solicitation. Staff has recently received a proposal to re- model the courtroom facility in accordance with City specifications and plans from General Contractor George Kelsen. The proposed q price for all required work'is $69,875. The contractor has agreed to comply with all State and local governmental laws with respect to the project, but is requesting a waiver of the City's security Posting (bond) -requirement. He is proposing a single one-third payment thirty days into the job, with the balance due upon the City's acceptance of the completed project. RECOMMENDATION: t. t Staff is recommending that the Council authorize the City Manager to enter into a contract with George Kelsen to perform the work necessary to renovate the courtroom facility for use by the Police f Department. In addition, staff recommends that the Council waive the City Code requirements.for the posting of a performance bond on this project. Attachments: Page 1 of---L— Item f 1Item No.- -1
