RECOMMENDATION(S):

REJECT all bids received on April 30, 2019, for the Contra Costa County Local Streets and Roads Preservation Project, and ORDER any bid bonds posted by the bidders to be exonerated and any checks or cash submitted for security shall be returned, and

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to re-advertise the Contra Costa County Local Streets and Roads Preservation Project (County Project No.: 0662-6R4138; Federal Project No.: STPL-5928(148)) (Districts I, III)

FISCAL IMPACT:

The Project will be funded by 75% One Bay Area Grant-Local Streets and Road Program Federal Grant and 25% Local Road Funds.

BACKGROUND:

The above project was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors, plans and specifications were filed with the Board, and bids were invited by the Public Works Director. On April 30, 2019, the Public Works Department received bids from the following contractors:

BIDDER, TOTAL AMOUNT

A. Teichert & Son, Inc. d/b/a Teichert Construction: $5,640,970.00

Bay Cities Paving & Grading, Inc.: $6,586,913.90

Gallagher & Burk, Inc.: $6,807,330.00

Ghilotti Bros., Inc.: $6,971,214.60

Ghilotti Construction Company, Inc.: $7,361,482.00

The Public Works Director recommends to the Board of Supervisors to exercise its discretion to reject all bids pursuant to the Notice to Bidders; and authorize the Public Works Director to re-advertise the above project.

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.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If re-advertising of the project is not authorized, the project will not be constructed this year and the conditions of the roadway will continue to deteriorate, resulting in costly repairs in the future.
