This project is funded by 90% Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) Funds, 2.25% Caltrans Funds, 7.75% Airport Enterprise Funds.
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 Tuesday, April 28, 2015, the Public Works Department received bids from the following contractors:
BIDDER TOTAL AMOUNT, BOND AMOUNTS
Maxwell Asphalt, Inc.: $851,353.48; Payment Bond: $851,353.48; Performance Bond: $851,353.48
Alaniz Construction, Inc.: $863,298.01
The bidder listed first above, Maxwell Asphalt, submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid, which is $11,944.53 less than the next lowest bid.
Per the requirements of the FAA and Section 3.1.04, Contract Award of the special provisions, the lowest responsible bidder’s proposal is required to be submitted to FAA for approval and allocation of funds. Once FAA approves funding, the Public Works Director can execute the contract with Maxwell Asphalt. If FAA does not approve the funds the contract will not be awarded.
This is a federally-funded project subject to a DBE contract goal and requirements. The Public Works Director has determined and reports that Maxwell Asphalt attained 20.93% DBE participation, which exceeds the DBE goal for this project and the Public Works Director recommends that the construction contract be awarded to Maxwell Asphalt.
The Public Works Director recommends that the bid submitted by Maxwell Asphalt, is the lowest responsive and responsible bid, and this Board so concurs and so finds.
The Board of Supervisors previously determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as a Class II Exemption, and a Notice of Exemption was filed with the County Clerk on April 4, 2012.
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.
Construction of the Byron Airport Pavement Enhancements Project would be delayed, and the project might not be built.
