Reject all bids received for the Veterans Memorial Park Irrigation System Improvements, adopt revised plans and specifications, and authorize the advertising for bids.

SBC FILE NUMBER: 127



AGENDA SECTION:

CONSENT AGENDA

BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:

On January 25, 2017, bids were due for the Veterans Memorial Park Irrigation System Improvements project and only one bid was received.  This bid exceeded the project budget, so County staff and consultants discussed the best method to move forward.  After much review and discussion, staff has determined that the original design is appropriate but that the overall scope may need to be reduced or modified.  The plans and specifications were revised to incorporate three deductive alternates.  These alternates are the use of one or two smaller storage tanks, the electrical portion of the scope and the fencing portion of the scope.  Depending on the lowest base bid received, one or more of these alternates can be deducted from the total bid price to reduce the project cost if necessary.  Bids will be due on April 13 and the project could be completed by mid-July.
