AGENDA REPORT
DATE: November 10, 2003
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: John B. Bahorski, City Manager
FROM: Douglas A. Danes, P.E. Director of Public Works /City Engineer
SUBJECT: AWARD BID FOR THE PIER STRUCTURAL REPAIR
AND REHABILITATION, PROJECT NO. 50146
SUMMARY OF REQUESTS:
The proposed action will award a contract for the Pier Structural Repair Project No.
50146 to the lowest responsible bidder, John S. Meek Company, Inc., in the amount of
$433,885.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
BACKGROUND:
On January 27, 2003, the City Council was presented with a condition assessment report
for the Seal Beach Municipal Pier. According to the report, the Pier is in fair condition
according to the standards set by the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE)
Standard Practice Manual on Underwater Investigations. However, several elements of
the pier are in need of repair and replacement including structural components, utilities,
preservation components and aesthetic features. These existing repair conditions limit
the load capacity and accelerate future damage and deterioration to the Pier.
The plans and specifications have been completed by the City's Coastal Engineering
Consultant, Han- Padron Associates. Upon the successful completion of the award
process, the project should be completed within 2 to 4 months and the Pier will remain
open during construction.
Three bids were received and opened by the City Clerk on November 4, 2003 as listed
below.
1 John S. Meek Company Inc. $433,885.00
2 Connolly- Pacific Co. $588,600.00
3 Blackledge Diving Inc. $620,000.00
The low bidder is properly licensed to do the work and has appropriate work experience as
well as being the lowest responsible bidder for the project.
The low bid is higher than originally anticipated because of the higher construction cost for
the utility work. Included in the plans were maintenance repairs to the water, gas and
Item J
electric lines. Staff is proposing to issue a decreasing change order to the contractor to
modify certain portions of the utility work to bring it within the designated limits of the
funding.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funds are currently available within the City's Capital Improvement program budget to
construct these improvements under project number 50146. At its January 27, 2003
meeting, City Council authorized a $500,000 budget amendment from the undesignated
General Fund reserve. The total cost of the project including design, construction and
inspection will not exceed the allocated amount without additional approval by the City
Council.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council award a contract for the Pier Structural Repair
Project No. 50146 to the lowest responsible bidder, John S. Meek Company, Inc., in the
amount of $433,885.00 and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement.
