TO FROM: CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of Sep mhPr 1, 1991 Honorable Mayor and City Council t-) Leslie Keane Stratton, City Manager; SUBJECT: Award Contract for Street Improvements On Meridian, Pepper, Randall And San Bernardino Avenues to Fisher's Grading BACKGROUND: Date: 8/29/91 During 1989 the City Council completed proceedings for the formation of a Mello -Roos Community Facilities District (CFD 89-2) in a portion of the West Valley. This action was validated by the San Bernardino Superior Court in November 1989. This district was formed, in part, to finance offsite, regional public improvements. DISCUSSION• At the time CFD 89-2 was formed, it was thought that water, sewer, and street improvements would be performed by the developer, John Lang Homes, who would then be reimbursed by the district. The developer was directed to bid the required improvements in conformance with Municipal Public Works contract law. An advertisement for street improvement bids was published in the Colton Courier on February 28, 1991 and March 7, 1991. Sealed bids were accepted until 4:00 p.m. on March 12, 1991 at the offices of Paul A. Moote & Associates; six bids were received. A bid summary is attached. Since completion of the bidding process, special legal counsel to CFD 89-2, Rutan & Tucker, has advised the City to assume responsibility for award of the contract and project management for the street portions of the required public improvements. The bid process followed by John Lang Homes has been reviewed by the District engineers, NBS Lowry, and has been found to be in conformance with the requirements of the Public Contract Code. The low bidder, Fisher's Grading, has also been recommended by NBS Lowry. Water and sewer improvements will continue developer. The City will verify that proper procedures are followed prior to any improvements. Attachments: to be performed by the bidding and construction reimbursement for these Page t of_ 2_ — Item No.�
