identified to bid the construction of the Tustin Fire Station #37 Project.
FISCAL IMPACT
There is no fiscal impact associated with this action.
DISCUSSION
Pursuant to Public Contract Code 20101, on July 19, 2011 the City Council approved apre-
qualification package for general contractors, utilizing apre-qualification process modeled after the
California Department of Industrial Relations guidelines, for construction of the Tustin Fire Station
#37. The pre-qualification procedure was selected for the construction of the Tustin Fire Station
#37 project due to the very specialized nature of construction, the need to comply with the State
Health and Safety and Building Code requirements for "Essential Services" buildings, and the
desire to achieve a USGBC LEED certified project. The City Council approved pre-qualification
questionnaire is attached for reference, including Addendum No.1 issued on July 27, 2011
reducing the comparable project contract value from $4,000,000 to $3,000,000.
The new Fire Station Facility will include a single story wood-framed structure of approximately
9.400 square feet with three apparatus bays, office facilities for two companies, and living space
for crew of eight firefighters.
The pre-qualification questionnaire consisted of three (3) parts: Part I -Essential Requirements for
Qualification, Part II -Organization, History, Organizational Performance, Compliance with Civil
and Criminal Laws and, Part III -Recent Construction Projects Completed. Each of the above
Parts included numerical, scorable questions as well as a series of "yes" and "no" questions. In
Part I the criteria indicates that a contractor will be immediately disqualified if the answer to any of
the questions #1 through #5 or #11 is "no".
The majority of contractors successfully completed the scorable questions in the pre-qualification
package. However, Part III included a requirement (Item #39) to provide information about
Pre-qualified Contractors for Fire Station #37
October 4, 2011
Page 2
completed projects and comparable projects, which a vast majority of the contractors did not
provide the required minimum information. Specifically, Item #39 required a contractor to provide
information about its six (6) public works projects and its three (3) most comparable private projects
all of which it has successfully completed within the last four (4) years. At least six (6) of the
projects identified by respondents had to be in California, comparable in scope and quality with the
Project, and with a contract value of at least $3,000.000. Comparable projects had to include at a
minimum complete shell, core, complete interior buildout, and complete site development. At least
one (1) of the projects identified by respondents had to be designed and constructed in
compliance with one (1) of the following: Essential Facility as defined in Chapter 2 of the State of
California Health and Safety Code, California Office of Statewide Health Planning and
Development (OSHPD), or California Department of State Architect. In addition, at least one of the
projects identified by respondents had to be LEED Certified by the United Stated Green Building
Council (USGBC), since the City the Tustin Legacy Fire Stations is proposed as a LEED building.
Whether a respondent was determined pre-qualified was based upon scores achieved by
assigning point values to completed responses in the three (3) parts described above, and
complete, affirmative responses to the "yes" and "no" questions. A passing score in Part I was 57
out of 76 possible points, Part II was 38 out of 53 possible points, and Part III was 80 out of a
possible 100 points.
On August 18, 2011, the City received submittals under the pre-qualification process from
seventeen (17) general contractors for this project. As a result of review of the stipulated essential
requirements for qualification and analysis completed by Griffin Structures and City staff, it has
been determined that five (5) of the seventeen (17) general contractors have successfully met the
minimum requirements of pre-qualification for this project, and will be eligible to bid when this
project is advertised for bid. The list of the eligible pre-qualified general contractors is as follows:
• AMG & Associates
• Bayley Construction
• Erickson-Hall Construction Company
• Jaynes Corporation of California
• Swinerton Builders
As identified in the original Request for Pre-Qualification, the pre-qualification packages
(respondent questionnaire answers and financial statements) submitted by prospective contractors
are not public records and are not open to public inspection. All information provided is kept
confidential to the extent permitted by law. However, the contents may be disclosed to third parties
for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in an appeal hearing. State
law requires that names of contractors applying for pre-qualification status shall be public record
subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire is used for that purpose. A list of
those general contractors that were not determined qualified based on the adopted Request for
Pre-Quali ication are also attached.

NOTICE
Notice is hereby given that the City of Tustin has determined that all bidders on the TUSTIN FIRE
STATION 37 to be undertaken by the City of Tustin must be pre-qualified prior to submitting a bid
on the TUST[N FIRE STATION 37 project It is mandatory that all Contractors who intend to
submit a bid, fully complete the pre-qualification questionnaire, provide all materials requested
herein, and be approved by the City of Tustin to be on the final qualified Bidders list. No bid will
be accepted from a Contractor that has tailed to comply with these requirements. If two or more
business entities submit a bid as part of a Joint Venture, or expect to submit a bid as part of a Joint
Venture, each entity within the Joint Venture must be separately qualified to bid. The last date to
submit a tally completed questionnaire is August 1 S, 201 1. Contractors arc encouraged to submit
pre-qualification packages as soon as possible, so that they may be notified of omissions of
information to be remedied or of their pre-qualification status well in advance of the bid
advertisement for this project.
Answers to questions contained in the attached questionnaire, inforn~ation about current bonding
capacity, notarized statement from surety, and the most recent reviewed or audited tinancial
statements, with accompanying notes and supplemental information, are required. City of Tustin
will use these documents as the basis of rating Contractors in respect to the size and scope of
contracts upon which each Contractor is qualified to bid. City of Tustin reser,~es the right to check
other sources available. City of Tustin's decision will be based on objective evaluation criteria.
City of Tustin reserves the right to adjust, increase, limit, suspend or rescind the pre-qualitication
rating based on subsequently learned information. Contractors whose rating changes sufticient to
dis-qualify them will be notified, and given an opportunity for a hearing consistent with the hearin~~
procedures described below for appealing apre-qualitication rating.
While it is the intent of the pre-qualitication questionnaire and documents required therewith to
assist the City of Tustin in determining bidder responsibility prior to bid and to aid the City ot.
Tustin selecting the lowest responsible bidder, neither the tact of pre-qualitication, nor any pre-
qualification rating, will preclude the City of Tustin from apost-bid consideration and determination
of whether a bidder has the quality, titness, capacity and experience to satistactorily perform the
proposed work, and has demonstrated the requisite trustwo--thiness.
The pre-qualification packages should be submitted under seal and marked "CONFIDEtiTIAL" to
the City_Clerk at City of Tustin, 300 Centennial Way, Tustin, CA, 927H0.

third parties for purpose of verification, or investigation of substantial allegations, or in the appeal
hearing. State law requires that the names of contractors applying for pre-qualitication status shall
be public records subject to disclosure, and the first page of the questionnaire will be used for that
purpose.

the form, by an individual who has the legal authority to bind the Contractor on whose behalf that
person is signing. If any information provided by a Contractor becomes inaccurate, the Contractor
must immediately notify the City of Tustin and provide updated accurate information in writing,
under penalty of per jury.

A LIST OF THE SCORABLE
QUESTIONS AND THE SCORING
INSTRUCTIONS
,,
:~ LIST OF THE SCORABLE QCESTIOtiS a:SD THE SCORI\G IISTRC'CTIO~iS
The scorable questions arise in three different areas:
(1) History of the business and organizational performance;
(I I) Compliance with occupational safety and health laws, workers' compensation and
other labor legislation; and
(III) Completion of recent projects and quality ofperformance.
The interview questions (interviews by the public agency of project mana~~ers on projects
completed recently by the contractor) are included in group III. In a pre-qualification
procedure for a single project, this last category would also include a scoring ofthe
number of recently completed projects that are similar to the project on which pre-
qualitication is at issue.
tote: ~~ot all questions in the questionnaire are scorable; some questions simply ask for
information about the contractor firm's structure, officers and history. This document
includes only those questions that are "scorable." The question numbers in this document
are the numbers used in the questionnaire. Thus, the questions included here begin with
question number 6, and there are a fe~~~ breaks in the numerical sequence.
The Scores tieeded for Prequalification
To prequalify, a contractor would be required to have a passi~ig grade within each of the
three large aite~.:ories referred to above.
For Section I, "History of the business and organizational performance,"
DIR recommends use of a passing score of 57 on this portion of the questionnaire (of a
maximum score of 76 on this portion of the questionnaire).
For Section II, Compliance with occupational safety and health laws, workers'
compensation and other labor legislation DIR recommends use of a passing score of 38
on this portion of the questionnaire (of a maximum score of 53 points on this portion of
the questionnaire).
Section III, Completion of recent projects and quality ofperformance, includes a series of
interview questions about recently completed construction projects. For the interview
questions, City will interview project managers for the owners of at least two completed
projects. There is a maximum possible score of 100 points for each interview. For
these questions, City will qualify a contractor whose average score on the interviews is
80 points or more. City will deny pre-qualification for a contractor whose score on either
interview is less than 55 points.
,~
DIR makes no recommendation about how to score a contractor's answers about
recently completed past projects. Because of the wide range of projects that a public
agency may be planning, and the similarly wide range in the skills, abilities, and
experience that a public agency will consider most important for a pendin~~ project, it i5
impossible to propose a usetiil model scoring system to apply to the answers ~~i~~en about
a contractor's completed projects.
