SUBJECT:
RE C0MME NDAT I0N:
That the City Council award a contract to Blair Paving, Inc. in the amount of
$3,525,293.92 for the above project.
BACKGROUND:
Eight bids" were received at the bid opening on October 27, 1987 and they are shown
as follows:
Blair Paving, Inc., Anaheim .................... $3,525,293.92
Sully Miller Contracting Co., Orange ............ $3,525,486.85
Silveri & LeBouef, Santa Ana ................... $3,532,478.05
Doty Bros. Equipment Co., Norwalk .............. $3,597,297.40
Vernon Paving Company, Anaheim ................. $3,604,136.40
Griffith Company, Santa Ana ..................... $3,632,870.25
So. California Grading, Inc., Irvine ........... $3,714,562.06
Fleming Engineering, Buena Park ................ $3,757,075.25
Blair Paving's bid had an apparent total higher than Sully Miller's bid, but staff
found an arithmetical error in Blair's bid which when corrected made Blair's bid
lower than Sully Miller's. A conference with both bidders was held at which time
Staff informed them Blair was low bidder based on unit prices correctly multiplied
by the estimated units. Sully Miller indicated they would protest and take legal
action if the contract was awarded to Blair. Blair in turn indicated they would
take legal action if they were not awarded the contract. At this point the matter
was placed in the City Attorney's hands. Sully Miller subsequently filed papers
dropping their protest.
The corrected low bid of $3,525,293.92 by Blair Paving is 3.1% under the Engineer's
Estimate of $3,638,682.75 and Staff recommends that the contract be awarded to
them.
This project is funded by a combination of assessment district bond funds and The
Irvine Company funds.
