<br />to negotiate a contract for engineering services for the preparation of Plans and specifications
<br />for the lift station expansion at the Water Quality Control Plant.
<br />Mr. Young continued the Council members have been forwarded copies of an agreement between the
<br />City of Colton and Currie Engineering Company for the design services involved in this project.
<br />Mr. Young stated the City Attorney has reviewed the agreement and it has been signed by Mr.
<br />Frank Currie, of Currie Engineering.
<br />Mr. Young concluded that Staff recommends the Council authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
<br />sign the agreement.
<br />On motion of Councilwoman Spragins, seconded by Councilman Rehrer and unanimously passed, Council
<br />authorized the Mayor and City Clerk to sign the agreement between the City of Colton and Currie

<br />Award Bid for the three million gallon Water Reservoir.
<br />Mr. Young gave the following report with regard to bids received on the three million gallon
<br />water,reservoir.
<br />On Monday, August 2, bids were received and opened on the three million gallon water reservoir
<br />with a total of seven bidders submitting proposals on four schedules.
<br />Four separate bids were offered on Schedule I which is the erection of the steel tank and the
<br />tank coating. Pacific Erectors Corporation was the low bidder with a bid of $300,695.
<br />Schedule II, which included demolition and grading, yard piping and retaining wall, was bid
<br />by two parties, of which Pylon Inc., was low with a bid of $136,995, however, Pylon Inc., had
<br />a stipulation on their bid that they would accept the work only if awarded both schedules II
<br />and III.
<br />Schedule III, which includes pump building, pump and piping, electrical and standby generator,
<br />was bid by two bidders, the low bidder being Pylon, Inc., with a bid of $123,603.
<br />Schedule IV, landscaping, was bid by McAlpine Construction, Inc., in the amount of $8,872.
<br />The total combination of low bids amounts to $5702165. Council had budgeted $500,000 for the
<br />project, and the engineer's estimate was $470,000.
<br />Staff's recommendation is to award Schedule I, with a delivery date of the steel by April 1,
<br />1975, to Pacific Erectors Corporation in the amount of $300,695, and to reject Schedules II,
<br />III, and IV.
<br />Mr. Young explained that the particular items in these other schedules were over the amounts
<br />estimated, and Staff feels, after looking into this matter, that if smaller bid items were to
<br />be made from the schedules and local contractors and suppliers contacted, more reasonable
<br />prices can be obtained.
<br />Mr. Young said in this regard, Staff would request permission from the Council to advertise
<br />by item for bids.
<br />On motion of Councilwoman Spragins, seconded by Councilman Hayes and unanimously passed, Council
<br />approved and accepted Schedule I. and awarded bid to Pacific Erectors Corporation in the amount
<br />of $300,695, and rejected Schedules II, III, and IV.
<br />On motion of Councilman Rehrer, seconded by Councilman Gonzales and unanimously passed, Council
<br />authorized Staff to advertise for bids on Schedules II, III, and IV, by item.
<br />Request permission to advertise for bids on 3/4 Ton Pickup Truck.
<br />Mr. Young said that Staff requests permission to advertise for bids for a 3/4 ton pickup truck
<br />for the street division.
