6.1.D. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er July 9, 2012 SUBJECT Award of Contract - Redwood Creek Channel Wall Replacement Project (Redwood Avenue and Valota Road) RECOMMENDATION Approve, by motion, the contract documents and award the standard form contract for the Redwood Creek Channel Wall Replacement Project (Redwood Avenue and Valota Road) to Soil Engineering Construction Inc. of Redwood City for their responsive and responsible low base bid of $373,958.00 and authorize the City Manager to increase the contract amount, if necessary, up to 10% of the amount awarded. BACKGROUND Redwood Creek and its tributaries comprise about eight miles of waterway and traverse much of Redwood City. A comprehensive conditions and capacity analysis of the entire Redwood Creek and its tributaries has been conducted and the observations, data, findings, and recommendations are in draft. Staff is evaluating the information to formulate a systematic Redwood Creek improvement program to prioritize future improvements. The section at Redwood Avenue and Valota Road is a trapezoidal concrete channel section built in 1967 as part of the creek improvements funded by the General Improvement District 1-65. For the past decade, this section of wall has been gradually failing. Replacement of the section of wall is necessary to avoid possible wall failure. The proposed replacement of the Redwood Avenue and Valota Road section precedes the adoption of a comprehensive program, but is consistent with the findings of the analysis. ANALYSIS Biggs Cardosa Associates, Inc., was retained to prepare plans and specifications for this project. The project was advertised for public bidding on May 23, 2012 and bids were opened on June 13, 2012. Six (6) bids were received and are summarized in the table below.
