HomeMy WebLinkAbout1/21/2004 - STAFF REPORTS (3) DATE: January 21, 2004
TO: City Council
FROM: Director of Public Works/City Engineer
2003/2004 ANNUAL SLURRY SEAL
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve and adoptthe specifications, and authorize
advertisement for construction bids for the 2003/2004 Annual Slurry Seal, City Project 03-
15.
SUMMARY:
Section 7.03.040 of the Procurement and Contracting Code requires that Council approve
and adopt plans, specifications and working details, and authorize the bid request for all
public projects in excess of $100,000. Approval of this project will allow staff to proceed
with this public project, with an estimated cost of$208,000.
BACKGROUND:
The Public Works Department oversees the maintenance of the City's street system. Each
year, the Department assembles a capital project to continue its Slurry Seal Program on
various City streets. Last year, the Department identified those streets within Sections 14
and 19, as well as Vista Chino, east of Gene Autry Trail, as those streets requiring a slurry
seal consistent with the Department's schedule of maintenance. Unfortunately, the City
was unable to award the entire contact for the scheduled streets, and due to lack of
sufficient funds, completed a slurry seal program only of those streets located within
Section 19.
This year, we are moving forward to "catch up" on last year's slurry seal program, which
includes the streets within Section 14, as well as Vista Chino from Gene Autry Trial to the
east City limits. Unfortunately, this year's capital improvement budget only allows for the
Department to move forward with slurry sealing these streets which were scheduled last
year, and not for any slurry sealing of additional streets which are due to be scheduled this
year. This fact represents a challenge the Department continues to face each year, as the
budget for street maintenance and improvement projects is limited to gas tax and Measure
A revenue which is restrictive and decreasing in relation to rising costs to perform street
maintenance and improvement projects. This Department has not yet suggested
supplementing its project budget with general fund revenue, realizing the other programs
and projects that require funding solely from the general fund. However, further discussion
at an appropriate time should occur to discuss the Department's future abilities to fund a
program to maintain the City's infrastructure only with the use of gas tax and Measure A
revenue.
The Department has coordinated with the planning staff from the Agua Caliente Band of
Cahuilla Indians, and will not include work on those streets adjacent to the completed
Casino Project. The slurry seal specifications have been prepared by Department staff, are
ready for Council approval and the subsequent advertisement for construction bids.

Section 7.03.040 of the newly enacted Procurement and Contracting Code requires that for
public projects in excess of$100,000 Council approve and adopt the plans, specifications
and working details, and authorize staff to advertise for construction bids. The Engineer's
Estimate for this project is$208,000. Funding for this project will be available through local
Measure A revenue, in an account budgeted as part of the 2003/2004 capital improvement
project, account 134-4498-50100 (Slurry Seal Program).
This action is being brought before Council to be in compliance with the Procurement and
Contracting Code. Following Council's approval of the plans and specifications, and
authorization to advertise for construction bids, staff will schedule bid advertisements with
a bid opening date of February 10, 2004.

INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS
1. DEFINED TERMS - Terms used in these Instructions to Bidders and the Notice Inviting Bids and not
defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to them in the General and Special Provisions. The term "Bidder"
shall mean one who submits a Bid directly to the City, as distinct from a sub-bidder, who submits a Bid to a
Bidder. The term "Engineer" shall be as defined in the Special Provisions.
2. COMPETENCY OF BIDDERS - In selecting the lowest responsive, responsible Bidder, consideration will be
given not only to the financial standing of the Bidder, but also to the general competency of the Bidder for the
performance of the Work covered by the Bid. To this end, each Bid shall be supported by a statement of the
Bidder's experience as of recent date on the form entitled "Bidder's General Information," bound herein. Except as
otherwise provided under Public Contract Code §20103.5, no Bid for the Work will be accepted from a contractor
who does not hold a valid contractor's license in the State of California for the classifications named in the Notice
Inviting Bids at the time of award.
3. DISQUALIFICATION OF BIDDERS - More than one Bid from an individual, firm, partnership, corporation,
or association under the same or different names will not be considered. If the City believes that any Bidder is
interested in more than one Bid for the Work contemplated, all Bids in which such Bidder is interested will be
rejected. If the City believes that collusion exists among the Bidders, all Bids will be rejected.
4. BIDDER'S EXAMINATION OF CONTRACT DOCUMENTS AND THE SITE —
a) It is the responsibility of each Bidder before submitting a Bid to examine the Contract Documents
thoroughly; visit the site to become familiar with local conditions that may affect cost, progress, or performance
of the Work; consider federal, state, and local laws and regulations that may affect cost, progress, or performance
of the Work; study and carefully correlate the Bidder's observations with the Contract Documents; and notify the
Engineer of all conflicts, errors, or discrepancies noted in the Contract Documents.
(b) Reference is made to the Special Provisions for identification of those reports of explorations and tests
of subsurface conditions at the site which may have been utilized by the Engineer in the preparation of the
Contract Documents. However, such reports are NOT a part of the Contract Documents. The interpretation of
such technical data, including any interpolation or extrapolation thereof, together with non-technical data,
interpretations, and opinions contained therein or the completeness thereof is the responsibility of the Bidder.
(c) Copies of such reports and drawings will be made available for inspection by the City to any Bidder
upon request. Those reports and drawings are NOT part of the Contract Documents, but any technical data
contained therein upon which the Bidder is entitled to rely is limited to that set forth in the Special Provisions.
(d) Subject to the provisions of Section 4215 of the California Government Code, information and data
reflected in the Contract Documents with respect to underground utilities at or contiguous to the site is based
upon information and data furnished to the City and the Engineer by the owners of such underground utilities or
others, and the City does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or completeness thereof unless it is expressly
provided otherwise in the Special Provisions.
(a) Provisions concerning responsibilities for the adequacy of data furnished to prospective Bidders on
subsurface conditions, underground utilities and other physical conditions, and possible changes in the Contract
Documents due to differing conditions appear in the Standard Specifications and Special Provisions.
If) Before submitting a Bid, each Bidder must, at Bidder's own expense, make or obtain any additional
examinations and investigations which pertain to the physical conditions (surface, subsurface, and underground
utilities) at or contiguous to the site or otherwise which may affect cost, progress, or performance of the Work
and which the Bidder deems necessary to determine its Bid for performing the Work in accordance with the time,
price, and other terms and conditions of the Contract Documents.
(g) Where feasible, upon request in advance, the City will provide each Bidder access to the site to
conduct such investigations and tests as each Bidder deems necessary for submittal of a Bid. The Bidder shall fill
all exploration and test holes made by the Bidder and shall repair damage, clean up, and restore the site to its
former condition upon completion of such exploration.

thereto, and other lands designated for use by the Contractor in performing the Work are identified in the Contract
Documents. All additional lands and access thereto required for temporary construction facilities or storage of
materials and equipment are to be provided by the Contractor. Easement for permanent structures or permanent
changes in existing structures will be obtained and paid for by the City unless otherwise provided in the Contract

directed to the Engineer. Interpretations or clarifications considered necessary by the Engineer in response to such
questions will be resolved by the issuance of Addenda mailed or delivered to all parties recorded by the Engineer or
the City as having received the Contract Documents. Questions received less than 5 days prior to the date of
opening Bids may not be answered. Only questions that have been resolved by formal written Addenda will be
binding. Oral and other interpretations or clarifications will be without legal or contractual effect.
6. BID SECURITY, BONDS, AND INSURANCE - Each Bid shall be accompanied by a certified or cashier's
check or approved Bid Bond in the amount stated in the Notice Inviting Bids. Said check or bond shall be made
payable to the City and shall be given as a guarantee that the Bidder, if awarded the Work, will enter into an
Agreement with the City and will furnish the necessary insurance certificates, Payment Bond, and Performance
Bond. Each of said bonds and insurance certificates shall be in the amounts stated in the Standard Specifications

10. DISCREPANCIES IN BIDS - In the event that there is more than one Bid Item in the Bid Schedule, the
Bidder shall furnish a price for all Bid Items in the schedule, and failure to do so will render the Bid as
non-responsive and may cause its rejection. In the event that there are unit price Bid Items in a Bid Schedule and
the "amount" indicated for a unit price Bid Item does not equal the product of the unit price and quantity listed,
the unit price shall govern and the amount will be corrected accordingly, and the Contractor shall be bound by
such correction, subject to the provisions of Section 5100 at seq. of the California Public Contract Code. In the

Security. If the lowest responsive, responsible bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the City may
award the Contract to the second lowest responsive, responsible Bidder. If the second lowest responsive,
responsible Bidder refuses or fails to execute the Agreement, the City may award the Contract to the third lowest
responsive, responsible Bidder. On the failure or refusal of such second or third lowest Bidder to execute the

entirety and the following substituted therefor:
3-2 PAYMENT
3-2 . 1 Markup: The provisions of Subsection 3-3 . 2 . 3 Markup,

Contracts: In the event of an increase or decrease in a bid
item quantity of a unit price contract, the total amount of
work actually done or materials or equipment furnished
shall be paid for according to the unit price established
for such work under the Contract Documents, wherever such
unit price has been established; provided, that an
adjustment in the Contract Unit Price may be made for
changes which result in an increase or decrease in the
quantity of any unit price bid item of the Work in excess
of 25 percent, or for eliminated items of work.

1/12/04
percent, the work in excess of 125 percent of such estimate
and not covered by an executed contract Change Order
specifying the compensation to be paid therefor will be
paid for by adjusting the Contract Unit Price, as
hereinafter provided, or at the option of the City, payment
for the work involved in such excess will be made as
provided in Section 3-3 . 2 of the Standard Specifications,
as amended in these Special Provisions .
Such adjustment of the Contract Unit Price will be the
difference between the Contract Unit Price and the actual
unit cost, which will be determined as hereinafter
provided, of the total pay quantity of the item. If the
costs applicable to such item of work include fixed costs,
such fixed costs shall be deemed to have been recovered by
the Contractor by the payments made for 125 percent of the
Engineer' s Estimate of the quantity for such item, and in
computing the actual unit cost, such fixed costs will be
excluded. Subject to the above provisions, such actual unit
cost will be determined by the Engineer in the same manner
as if the work were to be paid for as extra work as
provided in Section 3-3 . 2 of the Standard Specifications,
as amended in these Special Provisions, or such adjustment
as will be as agreed to by the Contractor and the City.
When the compensation payable for the number of units of an
item of work performed in excess of 125 percent of the
Engineer' s Estimate is less than $5, 000 at the applicable
Contract Unit Price, the Engineer reserves the right to
make no adjustment in said price if he so elects, except
that an adjustment will be made if requested in writing by
the Contractor.
3-2 .2 .1 (c) Decreases of More Than 25 Percent on Unit Price
Contracts : On unit price contracts, should the total pay
quantity of any item of work required under the contract be
less than 75 percent of the Engineer' s Estimate therefor,
an adjustment in compensation pursuant to this Section will
not be made unless the Contractor so requests in writing.
If the Contractor so requests, the quantity of said item
performed, unless covered by an executed contract change
order specifying the compensation payable therefor, will be
paid for by adjusting the Contract Unit Price as
hereinafter provided, or at the option of the Engineer,
payment for the quantity of the work of such item performed
will be made as if the work were to paid for as extra work
as provided in Section 3-3 . 2 of the Standard
Specifications, as amended in these Special Provisions, or
such adjustment as will be as agreed to by the Contractor
and the City; provided however, that in no case shall the
2003/2004 ANNUAL SLURRY SEAL CHANGES IN WORK
CITY PROJECT NO. 03-15 SPECIAL PROVISIONS -SECTION 3 -PAGE 2
1/12/04
payment for such work be less than that which would be made
at the Contract Unit Price.
Such adjustment of the contract unit price will be the
difference between the contract unit price and the actual
unit cost, which will be determined as hereinafter
provided, of the total pay quantity of the item, including
fixed costs . Such actual unit cost will be determined by
the Engineer in the same manner as if the work were to be
paid for as extra work as provided in Section 3-3 . 2 of the
Standard Specifications, as amended in these Special
Provisions, or such adjustment as will be as agreed to by
the Contractor and the City.
The payment for the total pay quantity of such item of work
will in no case exceed the payment which would be made for
the performance of 75 percent of the Engineer' s Estimate of
the quantity for such item at the original Contract Unit
Price.
3-2 .2 .1 (d) Eliminated Items on Unit Price Contracts: On
unit price contracts, should any contract item of the Work
be eliminated in its entirety, in the absence of an
executed contract Change Order covering such elimination,
payment will be made to the Contractor for actual costs
incurred in connection with such eliminated contract item
if incurred prior to the date of notification in writing by
the Engineer of such elimination.
If acceptable material is ordered by the Contractor for the
eliminated item prior to the date of notification of such
elimination by the Engineer, and if orders for such
material cannot be canceled, it will be paid for at the
actual cost to the Contractor. In such case, the material
paid for shall become the property of the City and the
actual cost of any further handling will be paid for by the
City. If the material is returnable to the vendor and if
the Engineer so directs the Contractor, the material shall
be returned and the Contractor will be paid for the actual
cost of charges made by the vendor for returning the
material . The actual cost of handling returned material
will be paid for.
The actual costs or charges to be paid by the City to the
Contractor as provided in this Section 3-2 will be computed
in the same manner as if the work were to be paid as extra
work as provided in Section 3-3 . 2 of the Standard
Specifications, as amended in these Special Provisions, or
such adjustment as will be as agreed to by the Contractor
and the City.
