2-H Construction, Inc.
BACKGROUND
The City Hall Elevator Project was initially advertised, and bids were opened on March 8, 2004. All bids were substantially over the Engineer’s Estimate. At the April 20, 2004 City Council meeting all bids were rejected and staff was directed to make revisions to the plans and re-advertise the project.
The plans were modified and re-advertised. The modifications consisted of reducing the landscape and hardscape improvements that are proposed, and reducing modifications to the breezeway that connects the Planning Building with City Hall. Initially the breezeway was to be completely removed and reconstructed, the modified plans now propose removing and reconstructing a small portion of the breezeway.
ANALYSIS
Project plans were re-advertised. Sealed bids were received and opened at 1:30 p.m. on May 3, 2004. H-2 Construction, Inc. submitted the lowest responsible and responsive bid of the four received. The following table summarizes bids:
| BID SUMMARY |
|
| CONTRACTOR |
BID AMOUNT |
| H-2 Construction, Inc. |
$475,000.00 |
| TG Construction, Inc. |
$627,151.00 |
| Integrated Construction Technology Corp. |
$687,902.26 |
| Del Amo Construction, Inc. |
$900,000.00 |
| Engineer’s Estimate |
$400,000.00 |
The bids were reviewed for consistency with bid requirements. References were contacted and reported satisfactory or above performance on similar projects. Although staff has no experience working with this contractor, they recently completed a project to construct an elevator at the El Segundo City Hall. The bid documents, bonds, and other contract documents are in order and their contractor’s license is current.
Although the low bid exceeds the Engineer’s Estimate by 18.75%, the discrepancies have been generally identified. Material cost fluctuations account for the majority of the difference between the Engineers Estimate and the low bid.
This project will require services for construction administration and construction management. John M. Cruikshank Consultants, Inc. developed the Plans and Specifications for this project and staff believes they are the most qualified to perform Construction Administration and Construction Management. For this reason a single source proposal was requested from them. Staff negotiated a fee with JMC2, their rates are fair and competitive and it is recommended that funds be authorized for these services.
This project will require services for code inspections. Charles Abbott Associates is familiar with building codes, in addition they have offices here at City Hall so that they can provide services in a very efficient manner. The staff recommendations include authorization of funding for Charles Abbott Associates for inspection services.
This project is principally funded with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, and because that program requires specialized reporting procedures the services of a consultant to assure Federal Labor Compliance is required. The staff recommendations include authorization for these services with the Diana Cho and Associates. This firm is the City’s CDBG consultant and they are familiar with federal requirements.
CONCLUSIONS
Adopting the staff recommendations will award a construction contract to H-2 Construction Inc. It will also authorize additional expenditures to existing contracts with John M. Cruikshank Consultants, Inc. for construction administration and construction management, Charles Abbott Associates for construction inspection services and Diana Cho Consultants. for labor compliance services.
Alternatives
One alternative is to reject all construction bids and re-advertise the construction project. This alternative could take approximately two months to complete and lower bids are not anticipated. Additionally, the City could reject consultant proposal and re-bid the construction administration, construction management and inspection services for this project. This alternative could take approximately one month or more and lower costs are not anticipated. Staff recommends against both of these alternatives since further delays will jeopardize CDBG funding.
FISCAL IMPACT
The recommended action will result in the expenditure of $564,500.00 as follows:
| Costs: |
|
| Construction |
$ 522,500 |
| Construction Administration and Management |
$ 30,000 |
| Construction Inspection |
$ 6,000 |
| Labor Compliance |
$ 6,000 |
| Total Costs |
$ 564,500 |
| Funding: |
|
| CDBG Funds (budgeted & unbudgeted) |
$ 442,278 |
| General Funds (budgeted) |
$ 45,000 |
| General Funds (unbudgeted) |
$ 77,222 |
| Total |
$ 564,500 |
Funding for this proposed project will be a blend of CDBG funds and General funds as shown above. Because of the higher than expected costs, the funding plan will require an additional appropriation of General Funds in the amount of $ 77,222.
The recommended actions include the adoption of two resolutions. The first resolution allocates available CDBG funds for this project. The second resolution appropriates additional general funds.
At the beginning of the fiscal year, the FY03-04 estimated General fund revenues in excess of adopted expenditures were $83,510. The calculation of available anticipated revenues is presented below. Appropriations that cannot be funded within this year’s available anticipated revenues will have to be drawn from the General fund reserve. The calculation of the projected General fund reserve available for appropriation is also presented below.
