6. /#- / REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Ci Mana er July 11, 2005 Subject Award of Contract - Fire Station No.1 a - Emergency Generator Replacement Recommendation Approve the Contract Documents and award the contract for the Fire Station No.1 o - Emergency Generator Replacement to All Area Electric & Construction Co., Inc. of San Francisco, California, for their low bid of $ 98,000.00. Background The existing 6 KW standby generator at the Fire Station No.1 0 is not adequate for the needs. Since this facility is an essential building, it needs a stronger generator to support the needs during an emergency. . This project will replace the existing 6 KW generator with a new powerful 60 KW generator with automatic transfer switch, distribution panels and other necessary electrical work that will make Fire Station No.1 o capable to operate during an emergency situation. The three (3) bids received at the bid opening on May 25, 2005, are summarized below: No. Bidder Bid Amount 1. All Area Electric & Construction Co. $ 98,000.00 2. Mitchell Enqineerinq $ 138,000.00 3. Steinv and Company Inc. $ 155,866.00 The bid of $98,000.00 is 2 % lower than the Engineer's Estimate of $100,000.00 for the cost of construction. Based on the bids received, staff believes that the low bid is reasonable and responsive, and recommends awarding the contract to All Area Electric Construction Co. Inc. On June 1, 2005 a bid protest was submitted by Brian Deering of San Mateo County Electrical Construction on behalf of Mitchell Engineering, allegedly claiming that ALL AREA ELECTRIC is a non-responsive bidder, due to the fact that said company (formerly Topline Electric aka Jin Construction & Electric Co.) has had over $400,000 in wage assessments levied against them by the City of San Francisco, and had a three year debarment period leveled against them from the City of San Francisco.
