ITEM #14 CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT FOR THE CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF DECEMBER 19, 2006 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS FROM: AMER JAKHER, P.E., PW DIRECTOR/CITY ENGINEER SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO REJECT BID FOR AGUA MANSA ROAD WIDENING AND RE -ALIGNMENT PROJECT. DATE: DECEMBER 11, 2006 BACKGROUND: On July 18, 2006, the City Council authorized the request to solicit bids for the Agua Mansa Road Street Widening and Re -alignment Project. The proposed improvements correspondent to this Project will widen the road carriageway to allow for a middle left turn lane (14 foot stripped median) and a shoulder alongside the southbound lane. These improvements will expand the roadway, increasing the width of Agua Mansa Road, from the power plant to the Rialto Channel, to measure 52 feet from curb to curb. Also included in this Project's scope of work are the following improvements: curb, gutter, storm drain, signage, striping and utility relocation. These improvements will not increase traffic capacity along Agua Mansa Road. ANALYSIS/DISCUSSION: Advertisement for public bidding of the Project was published beginning on September 6, 2006. The bid opening for the Project was conducted on September 21, 2006 and six (6) firms were listed on the plan holders list but only Hardy and Harper, Inc. of Santa Ana, California submitted a bid for the Project. The received bid was in the amount of $1,239,970.40. The original scope of this project included Colton Electric Power Plant frontage. However, at this time funding for the improvements along this frontage is not available and it will be necessary to revise the scope and limit of the Project. For this reason and considering that the City received only one (1) bid for the Project, it is prudent to reject the bid and re -scope the project. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: The proposed public improvements are exempt under Section 15301 (c) of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).
