Riley & Son, Inc. of Emeryville, CA, for the amount of $187,725.00 and reject all other bids. Background On May 8,2000 the City Council approved the contract documents and specifications and authorized the City Clerk to call for bids for the subject contract. The proposed contract has been duly advertised and four sealed bids were received and opened at the Office of the City Clerk on August 16, 2000. BIDDER J. W. Riley & Sons, Inc., Emeryville, CA Vanguard Construction, Inc., Union City, CA P & P Construction, Inc., Newark, CA J. J. R. Construction, San Mateo, CA PRICE $187,725.00 $200,462.50 $213,567.50 $219,937.50 Engineer's Estimate Median $188,825.00 $207,015.00 J. W. Riley & Son, Inc. is the lowest responsible bidder at 0.6% below the Engineer's estimate. J. W. Riley is currently working on the 1999-2000 Tree Preservation and Sidewalk Repair Program, and staff believes they have the additional resources to perform the contract satisfactorily. They also performed the 1998-99 Cost Shared Sidewalk Repair Project and are familiar with the work and scheduling. The project addresses damaged sidewalk, driveway approach and curb and gutter sites throughout the City where the property owner agrees to pay 50% of the cost of repairs. The project also includes the construction of wheel chair ramps at no cost to the adjacent property owner. This allows staff to promptly respond to resident requests for wheelchair ramp access. Tree work for the project will be coordinated and performed, at no cost to the property owner, by the City's tree maintenance staff or contractor as resources are available. Root pruning or tree removal decisions are determined on a case by case basis, with the first priority being to preserve trees. When possible, the City encourages property owners to preserve the tree by allowing the City to estab1ish a sidewalk maintenance easement on private property for the relocation of the sidewalk.
