The total base bid of $7,625,314.00 from Seton Pacific Construction Corporation is slightly above the engineer's estimate of $7,600,000 for the cost of construction. Based upon the bids received, staff believes that the low bid of $7,625,314.00 is reasonable and responsive and recommends awarding the contract to Seton Pacific Construction Corporation. If approved and awarded, the Rule 20 Middlefield Road Phase 1 Underground Utility District Project is anticipated to begin construction towards the end of this year and will take approximately one year to complete. It is anticipated that the corresponding bicycle and pedestrian streetscape project will start a few months after the start of the undergrounding project and will take a little over one year to complete. Notification of the proposed work will be distributed to surrounding property owners/tenants in advance of the start of work. Staff will also notify Neighborhood Association leaders, and large message boards will be placed on site in advance of the start of the work to notify the public. The City will also regularly alert the public about major construction activities and impacts via the City's social media accounts. ALTERNATIVES The City Council may choose not to award the construction contract and direct staff to redesign and/or rebid this project.
