The Public Works Director has reported that Vortex documented an adequate good faith effort to comply with the requirements of the County’s Outreach Program and exceeded the Mandatory Subcontracting Minimum, and the Public Works Director recommends that the construction contract be awarded to Vortex.
The Public Works Director recommends that the bid submitted by Vortex is the lowest responsive and responsible bid, which is $54,965.00 less than the next lowest bid, and this Board concurs and so finds.
The Board of Supervisors previously determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as a Class 1(c) Categorical Exemption, and a Notice of Exemption was filed with the County Clerk on March 1, 2019.
The general prevailing rates of wages, which shall be the minimum rates paid on this project, have been filed with the Clerk of the Board, and copies will be made available to any party upon request.
