REJECTION OF BIDS FOR RAWLINGS RESERVOIR ROOF REPAIR
AND PAINTING PROJECT
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council, at their meeting of May 6, 1985, by
minute order, reject all bids received for the Rawlings Reservoir Roof Repair and
Painting Project.
BACKGROUND:
This project encompasses installing new metal roof decking on a portion
(approximately 40%) of the Rawlings Reservoir and cleaning and painting of the
entire metal roof.
Sealed bids for this project were opened on March 26, 1985 at 10:00 A.M. and were
received as follows:
Contractor Business Location Bid
West Coast Sandblasing
Ultimo General Contractors
Tank & Refinery Services Co., Inc.
Spence Coating Co, Inc.
Los Alamitos, CA
Dana Point, CA
Bellflower, CA
Gardena, CA
$37,811.00
55,345.00
58,638.00
67,000.00
The engineer's estimate for this project is $23,700.00. There is presently
$16,000.00 allocated in the F.Y. '84-'85 budget for this work. The low bid is 60%
over the engineer's estimate.
Staff feels that the condit'ion of the existing roof at the Rawlings Reservoir does
not warrant expending the funds represented by the low bid and has arrived at an
alternate solution for repair. This would consist of purchasing, by the city,
pre-painted metal panels for the 40% portion of roof intended to be re-covered and
installation by city or outside forces at an estimated cost of $14~000.00. The
60% remaining roof area, which was to be painted only, would not be painted at
this time. The only problem with this section is that the paint is peeling off of
the galvanized material creating an unsightly appearance. This unsightly
appearance is not visible unless your on the roof. In two or three years, once
the paint has completely peeled off, the intent would be to repaint.
