Authorize the City Manager or her designee to negotiate and execute one or more change orders to the contract with Shelton Roofing Company for related, additional but unforeseen work which may develop during the project, the total value of which shall not exceed $11,000. DISCUSSION Project Description The built-up bituminous and gravel roofs on units E and F, attached covered hallways, gutters and downspouts, are being replaced as part of an ongoing roofing repair and replacement program at the Cubberley site. Roof replacements at the Cubberley site are being accomplished over multiple years according to an established priority, with an average of two scheduled roof replacements per year. The roof on Wing E leaks and is now partially covered with plastic tarpaulins as an interim measure. The roof on Wing F was last repaired in 1988 and began to suffer delamination along the north perimeter in 1997. Reroofing is considered the most economical measure to prevent further moisture damage to the roof and the adjacent structure over the covered hallway. The work also includes replacement of leaking and missing gutter sections, and repair of plaster ceilings over the adjacent covered walkways that were damaged by the roof leaks. Interior ceiling tile repair will be accomplished under a separate contract. CMR:336:99 Page 1 of 2 Bid Process A notice inviting formal bids for this project was sent on June 30, 1999, to five builders’ exchanges and eight contractors. The bidding period was 27 days. A pre-bid meeting was held on July 13, 1999; four bidders attended the meeting. Bids were received from seven qualified contractors on July 27, 1999, as listed on the attached bid summary (Attachment A). Bids ranged from a high of $179,452 to a low bid of $72,084. Staff has reviewed all bids submitted and recommends that the bid of $72,084, submitted by Shelton Roofing Company, be accepted and that Shelton Roofing Company be declared the lowest responsible bidder. The bid is 43 percent below the engineer’s estimate of $125,864. The change order amount of $11,000, which equals 15 percent of the total contract, is requested because of the uncertainty of the existing roof underlayment condition and the extent of concealed water damage that may require repair. Staff checked references supplied by the contractor for previous work performed and found no significant complaints. Staff also checked with the Contractor’s State License Board and found that the contractor has an active license on file. RESOURCE IMPACT Funds for this project are available Improvement Project # 19018. in the Cubberley Code and Roof Repairs Capital POLICY IMPLICATIONS This award does not represent any change to existing City policies. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This project is categorically exempt from California Environmental Quality Act and no further environmental review is necessary.
