6.1.B. - Page 2 <br /> The low bid of $339,500 submitted by Blocka Construction, Inc. is incrementally lower <br /> than the engineer's estimate of $340,000. Blocka Construction, Inc. has successfully <br /> completed similar projects in the past and is a qualified contractor. Based on the bids <br /> received, staff believes that the low bid is reasonable and recommends awarding the <br /> contract to Blocka Construction, Inc. <br /> Construction is expected to begin in January 2013 and will conclude in June 2013. The <br /> city will provide notice to all residents that might be affected by the construction. <br /> Additionally, the contractor is obligated to provide notice to area residents within two <br /> weeks prior to start of work. Signage that contains project information will be posted at <br /> the construction sites and construction updates will be available on the city's website. <br /> ALTERNATIVES <br /> Council may choose not to award the contract and direct staff to redesign and/or rebid <br /> the project. Continued deterioration of the electrical equipment will increase <br /> replacement costs and may interrupt service and cause potential sanitary sewer <br /> overflow. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT <br /> Funds for the general work of this project were approved and appropriated in Sewer <br /> Fund Capital Projects -- Pump Station No. 10 Improvements Project, which has a <br /> balance of $524,400.32, as of September 30, 2012. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW <br /> As the lead agency, City of Redwood City has determined that the Sanitary Sewer <br /> Pump Station 10 Improvements Project meets the California Environmental Quality Act <br /> (CEQA) exemption criteria as set forth in Section 15301 (Existing Facilities) and Section <br /> 15302 (Replacement or Reconstruction) of the CEQA Regulations. <br /> t <br /> ��� <br /> JIMMY TAN, P.E. <br /> SENIOR CIVIL ENGINEER <br /> LJ <br /> BILL EKERN <br /> COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR <br /> �" <br /> ROBERT B.
