<br />7A <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />Due to the unsatisfactory and uncompetitive bids that were received, City Council, on <br />September 25, 2006, rejected all bids and authorized re-advertising using the <br />conventional bidding method of soliciting lump sum bids from general contractors. <br /> <br />Five bids were received on November 15, 2006, with the apparent low bid from Sasual <br />Corporation being 26% above the budget estimate of $11,500,000. After review of the <br />bids and verification of the low bidder's qualifications, staff believes that the bids are <br />responsive and recommends awarding the contract to Sausal Corporation. The new <br />low bid combined with the cost of construction management represents a savings of <br />approximately $1.6 million in comparison with the multi-trade bids received on July 20, <br />2006. <br /> <br />However, a shortfall of $3,030,000.00 remains and requires City Council Action. The <br />following funding sources have identified to support the additional needs: <br /> <br />1. Unreserved Fund Balance in General Fund (of which <br />$440,000 is from Transfer tax from commercial property sale) $2,564,000.00 <br /> <br />2.
