Crumby P.E., Director of Public Works SUBJECT: 8TH STREET SEWAGE PUMP STATION PROJECT NO SS0901-3 — AWARD CONSTRUCTION SUMMARY OF REQUEST: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6433: 1. Approving the plans and specifications for the 81h Street Sewage Pump Station Project No. SS0901-3; 2. Rejecting the apparent 1st and 2nd low bids as both have requested to be removed from their bids; 3. Awarding a construction contract to Charles King Co. in the amount of $1,999,170; 4. Authorizing expenditures of up to $40,000 for construction support services (inspection) to Casulas Construction Services; and 5. Authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract/agreement and approve contract changes in the amount not exceed $200,000. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The 8th Street Pump Station is a sewer pump station which was constructed in the 1920's. It handles sewer flows from the Pier, the Gold Coast and along Seal Way. Per the City's 2005 Sewer Master Plan, the 8th Street Pump Station was found to be deficient and needed to be rehabilitated. The Station has been operating below its rated capacity and therefore has reached the end of its usefulness. The City received proposals from AKM Consulting Engineers and Civiltec Engineering, Inc. for the design of the 8th Street Pump Station and AKM Consulting Engineers was selected to provide construction drawings and specifications for the 8th Street Sewage Pump Station Project No SS0901-3. The Agenda Item Q Plans and Specifications have been completed and the City has advertised for bids. On December 12, 2013, the City Clerk's office received 6 bids with the following results: Rank Contractor Bid 1 Optima RPM, Inc. $ 1,847,905.00 2 Environmental Construction, Inc. $ 1,989,244.30 3 Charles King Co., Inc. $ 1,999,170.00 4 Minako America Corp. $ 2,780,500.00 5 Mike Bubalo Construction $ 2,893,750.00 6 Clarke Contracting Corp. $ 2,950,875.00 On December 17, 2013, Optima RPM, Inc. sent a letter to the City of Seal Beach (attached) asking for Relief of Bid due to a clerical error (letter attached). The bidder may be relieved of their bid should they establish that a mistake was made. The mistake made the bid materially different than he or she intended it to be, and the mistake was made in completing the bid and not due to error in judgment or to carelessness in inspecting the site of the work or in reading the plans or specifications. Shortly thereafter, on December 20, 2013, the second apparent low bidder, Environmental Construction, Inc. submitted an email to the City also requesting Relief of Bid due to a clerical error (email attached). Further discussions with both firms revealed that they potentially possess less than optimum work experience in bidding and constructing sewer pump stations. Meanwhile, the 3rd bidder, Charles King Co, has an impressive resume in sewer infrastructure improvements and has constructed several capital improvement projects with the City of Seal Beach to great success in the recent past. After consulting with the City Attorney's office, it is recommended that Optima RPM, Inc. and Environmental Construction, Inc. be relieved of their bids due to the mistakes noted and their bid bonds be returned in full. Based upon the references, qualifications, work experience and cost, staff recommends awarding a construction contract to Charles King Co. as the lowest responsible bidder at $1,999,170. The bid of Charles King Co. is below the Engineers Estimate of $2.4 million. As is customary, it is recommended that the Council authorize the City Manager to approve contract changes for up to approximately 10% of the award ($200,000) for unforeseen conditions and change orders. The City Attorney's office has approved the construction agreement to be used for this project. The contractor has signed the agreement and it is included in this staff report. Exhibits to that agreement, including bonds and insurance documents will be provided to the City after award of contract. Page 2 In addition, staff seeks authority to expend up to $40,000 for construction support (inspection). The firm of Casulas Construction Services provides to the City, public works inspection services at an hourly rate of $65.00 pursuant to a professional services agreement. "Construction support services" (often referred to as inspection) are necessary for making sure that the Contractor builds the project in accordance with the plans and specifications while following all applicable rules and regulations. The inspector is on the job site every day during the construction of the project. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: On March 26, 2009, the Initial Study/Mitigated Negative Declaration was approved. This project complies with all requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). LEGAL ANALYSIS: The City Attorney has reviewed and approved as to form. FINANCIAL IMPACT: The project was approved in the FY 2013/14 adopted budget $2,500,000 in the Sewer Captial Fund. The construction contract is $1,999,170 with Charles King Company, Inc. An anticipated breakdown of funds needed to complete this project are as follows: Description Amount Engineering Construction Support $ 50,000 Construction (Award) $ 1,999,170 Contingency $ 200,000 Material/Testing $ 15,000 Inspection (Casulas Construction Services) $ 40,000 Total $ 2,304,170 RECOMMENDATION: That the City Council adopt Resolution No. 6433: 1. Approving the plans and specifications for the 8th Street Sewage Pump Station Project No. SS0901-3; 2. Rejecting the apparent 1st and 2nd low bids as both have requested to be removed from their bids; 3. Awarding a construction contract to Charles King Co. in the amount of $1,999,170; Page 3 4. Authorizing expenditures of up to $40,000 for construction support services (inspection) to Casulas Construction Services; and 5. Authorizing the City Manager to execute the contract/agreement and approve contract changes in the amount not exceed $200,000. SUBMITTED BY: NOTED AND APPROVED: Sean Cruffi`5y�, P.E.
