Home My WebLink AboutItem B September 20, 1999 STAFF REPORT To: Mayor and Members of the City Council Attention: Keith R. Till, City Manager From: Stephen G. Badum, Director of Public Works/City Engineer Subject: REJECT BIDS AND APPROVE REVISED PLANS, SPECIFICATIONS, & ESTIMATES FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF SEAL BEACH BOULEVARD TRAFFIC SIGNAL COORDINATION, PROJ. NO. 751 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The proposed City Council action will reject all bids, approve the revised plans, specifications, andestimates, and authorize Staff to re-initiate the bidding process so that a contract may be awarded for the construction of the Seal Beach Boulevard Traffic Signal Coordination, Project#751. DISCUSSION: This project is the first of two projects that will upgrade and coordinate traffic signals on Seal Beach Boulevard from Pacific Coast Highway. The first phase project will replace existing traffic signal controllers and cabinets to industry standards and permit linkage to the State traffic signals at PCH and I-405 and Countywide networks. The second project will tie all of the signals together in a local network that will enable centralized control, coordination, and networking via state of the art computer programming. The second phase project is scheduled for FY 2000/01. Both phases will be funded under the Measure M Signal Improvement Program(SIP). On July 26, 1999, City Council approved plans, specifications, and estimates for this project. On September 8, 1999, thefollowing bids were received and opened by the City Clerk: Seal Beach Boulevard Traffic Sinal Coordination, Pro'ect#751, Bid Results # Name Amount 1 Inspection Engineering Construction , $198,900.00 2 C.T.&F., Inc. $249,416.00 3 Baxter-Griffin Co. $250,200.00 4 Computer Service Co. $250,700.00 1 AGENDA ITEMS. • SBB Traffic Signal PS&E • City Council Staff Report September 20, 1999 Since available funding for this phase is $130,000, it will be necessary to reject all bids, reconfigure the scope of the project, and re-bid the project. Additional signals on Lampson Avenue and Westminster Avenue were originally included in this project. The revised bid format will enable staff to reduce the number of intersections that will be upgraded to meet available funding. Priority will be given to those signals on Seal Beach Boulevard, the original scope of the project. Those intersections that are not funded in phase I will be included in the phase II project. The revised plans and specifications were completed by City staff and W.G. Zimmerman Engineering. Upon the successful bidding process and award of a contract, the project should be completed in October. FISCAL IMPACT: Measure M funds in the total amount of$137,000 are currently available within the City's Capital Improvement program budget to construct these improvements. • RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends that the City Council reject all bids, approve the revised plans and specifications, authorize staff to initiate the public contract bidding process.
