DATE: June 26, 2017
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: Jill R. Ingram, City Manager
FROM: Steve Myrter, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: APPROVE A RESOLUTION ADJUSTING THE BIDDING
THRESHOLDS! FOR PUBLIC WORKS CONTRACTS
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
That the City Council conduct a public hearing, and, after considering all
testimony and evidence presented, adopt Resolution No 6744 confirming the
adjustment of the bidding threshold for public works contracts to $32,267
pursuant to the City Charter Section 1010.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS:
In March 2002, Section 1010 of the City Charter was amended to include a
formal procedure to calculate the bidding threshold for Public Works contracts.
The bidding threshold is to be adjusted annually based upon "computing the
percentage difference between the current Engineering News Record (ENR)
Construction Cost Index (CCI) — 20 City Average and the ENR for the previous
June"or previous increase. The purpose of the adjustment is to allow the City to
maintain its bidding threshold current with inflation. The City Charter specifies
that the City Engineer shall calculate the required adjustment and the City
Council confirm the calculation following a public hearing on the matter.
At the August 26, 2013 City Council meeting, Council approved an 11 .4% bidding
threshold increase from $25,850 to $28,797. This was adjusted based upon the
July 2009, CCI of 8578 to July 2013, CCI of 9552.
In June 2017, the CCI has increased 12.05% from 9552 to 10703. This increase
includes four years of adjustments to the bidding threshold. A 12.05% increase
would increase the bidding threshold from $28,797 to $32,267.
This does not waive requirements of competitive bidding on projects. All projects
over $32,267 would require formal bidding procedures and contracts per the City
Agenda Item G
Charter and be awarded at a City Council meeting. Contracts for projects under
$32,267 could be awarded pursuant to informal bidding procedures.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT:
There is no environmental impact related to this item.
LEGAL ANALYSIS:
The City Attorney has reviewed the proposed resolution and has approved it as
to form.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
As proposed, there will be no negative impact on the General Fund. Rather,
there are expected cost savings. All contracts completed under this threshold
are within the existing budget as approved by City Council. Maintaining the
existing bidding threshold limits purchasing power and may require additional
expense to produce and use formal plans and specifications, reports, notices,
consultant_services and staff resources. Thus, if the adjustment is confirmed, the
City will not have to incur this additional expense.
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council hold a public hearing, and, after considering all testimony
and evidence presented, adopt Resolution No 6744 confirming the adjustment of
the bidding threshold on public works contracts to $32,267 pursuant to City
Charter Section 1010.
