s' � Cf / <br /> REPO <br /> RT <br /> To the Honorable Mayor and Gity Council <br /> From the Cit Mana er <br /> December 19, 2005 <br /> Subject <br /> Award of Contract — Woodside Road Median Improvements Project <br /> Recommendation <br /> Approve the Contract Documents and award the contract for the Woodside Road <br /> Median Improvements Project to the lowest responsible bidder, Scapes, Inc. of Half <br /> Moon Bay, California, for their low bid of $325,437.80. <br /> Background <br /> This project proposes to aesthetically improve the Woodside Road median from the <br /> intersection of Alameda de la Pulgas to the Union Cemetery. The project will not only <br /> improve the planting along the roadway, but it will also improve the appearance of the <br /> stamped concrete in the median. Dead and dying trees will be replaced, while <br /> shrubbery will be replanted to represent a more uniform theme and to conform to new <br /> maintenance standards. Existing concrete will be pressure washed, and existing small <br /> `patches' of planting will be eliminated for a cleaner appearance. <br /> The new design will also eliminate the currently required manual truck watering, which <br /> should yield higher water usage efficiency. The new planting will also feature a slight <br /> set back from the travel way in order to minimize the risk to maintenance staff when <br /> these plants need to be trimmed. This median is being maintained by Redwood City as <br /> part of the existing Co-op Agreement, and is therefore being improved by Redwood <br /> City. <br /> The Project was designed by AAM Design of Lafayette. AAM Design worked as a sub- <br /> consultant on the Redwood Shores Street System Improvements Project, and has also <br /> worked well with our staff in the Park and Recreation Department. However, this is the <br /> first time they have prepared a complete bid package including the cost estimate. <br /> Four (4) bids were received at the bid opening on November 30, 2005. The results are <br /> summarized below: <br /> No. Bidder Bid Amount <br /> 1. Sca es, Inc. — Half Moon Ba , CA $325,437.80 <br /> 2. Lone Star Landsca e, Inc. — Oakland, CA $347,720.00 <br /> 3.
