Amount of $3,293,734 for Channing Avenue/Lincoln Avenue Storm Drain
Improvements - Phase III, Capital Improvement Program Project SD-11101,
and Approval of a Budget Amendment in the Storm Drainage Fund
From: City Manager
Lead Department: Public Works
Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council:

attached contract with Con-Quest Contractors, Inc. (Attachment A) in the

Drain Improvement Project – Phase III, Capital Improvement Program
Project SD-11101;
2. Authorize the City Manager or his designee to negotiate and execute one or
more change orders to the contract with Con-Quest Contractors, Inc. for
related, additional but unforeseen work which may develop during the
project, the total value of which shall not exceed $329,373; and
3. Amend the Fiscal Year 2016 Budget Appropriation Ordinance for the Storm
Drainage Fund by:
a. Increasing the Capital Improvement Program appropriation for
Channing Avenue/Lincoln Avenue Storm Drain Improvements Project
(SD-11101) by $393,107; and
b. Decreasing the Capital Improvement Program appropriation for
City of Palo Alto Page 2
Storm Drain System Replacement and Rehabilitation Project (SD-
06101) by $393,107.
Background
In 2005, the property owners of Palo Alto voted to increase their monthly storm
drainage fee to fund a set of seven high-priority storm drain-related capital
improvement projects, including improvements to the storm drain trunk pipelines
along Channing and Lincoln Avenues. The existing storm drains along Channing
and Lincoln Avenues were inadequate to convey the storm runoff from the
surrounding neighborhoods. These pipelines convey storm runoff to the San
Francisquito Creek Storm Water Pump Station, which was constructed in 2008 to
serve a 1250-acre watershed area in northeastern Palo Alto. Drainage system
performance along Channing and Lincoln Avenues and throughout portions of the
Duveneck-St Francis, Crescent Park, Community Center, and Professorville
neighborhoods will be greatly enhanced following completion of a series of storm
drain upgrade projects. The work to be implemented under this contract
comprises the third and final phase of this multi-phase project, which will provide
drainage improvements along Lincoln Avenue between Middlefield Road and
Alma Street.
Discussion
Project Description
The work to be performed under this contract includes the installation of 30- to
42-inch diameter storm drain pipeline along Lincoln Avenue between Middlefield
Road and Alma Street. The work also includes the relocation of multiple water,
gas, and sanitary sewer service laterals and the installation of several new
segments of sanitary sewer main serving adjacent residences due to grade
conflicts with the new storm drain pipeline. The project limits are depicted on the
attached Location Map (Attachment B). The new storm drain will improve
drainage system performance along Lincoln Avenue and will indirectly improve
drainage along perpendicular streets in the neighborhood by intercepting existing
storm drains that currently flow to an undersized trunk storm drain along
Embarcadero Road. Parking and traffic circulation along Lincoln Avenue will be
impacted during the four-month construction period. Staff will keep local
residents and officials at Addison Elementary School up-to-date on the project
status and strive to minimize project impacts throughout the duration of
construction activity.

Bid Process
On May 4, 2016, a notice inviting formal bids for the Channing Avenue/Lincoln
Avenue Storm Drain Improvement Project – Phase III was posted to the City’s
online bid solicitation web portal. The bidding period was twenty-nine days. Bids
were received from two qualified contractors on June 2, 2016, as listed on the
attached Bid Summary (Attachment C).
Summary of Bid Process

Number of Bids Received: 2
Bid Price Range $3,293,734 to $3,977,610
Staff has reviewed all bids submitted and recommends that the bid of $3,293,734
submitted by Con-Quest Contractors, Inc. be accepted and that Con-Quest
Contractors, Inc. be declared the lowest responsible bidder. Staff recommends
that the contract scope of work include the Base Bid only. The low bid is 15
percent below the engineer's estimate of $3,865,000. The change order amount
of $329,373 (which equals 10 percent of the total contract) is requested for
related, additional but unforeseen work which may develop during the project.
Staff confirmed with the Contractor's State License Board that the contractor has
an active license on file and is registered with the Department of Industrial
Relations. Staff also contacted the listed references for Con-Quest Contractors,
Inc. and found they have performed satisfactorily on past construction projects
for other clients, including the City.
Project Coordination
City of Palo Alto Page 4
The Channing Avenue/Lincoln Avenue Storm Drain Improvement Project – Phase
III has been coordinated with other capital projects during the monthly
Utilities/Public Works Department street work coordination meetings and by use
of the Geographic Information System-based project coordination program. This
project does not conflict with any upcoming Public Works or Utilities Department
projects. The work has been coordinated with city and non-city utility agencies,
whose underground facilities will need to be relocated as a result of the proposed
pipeline installation.
Due to the proximity of the work to Addison Elementary School, staff coordinated
with the school principal to keep school staff informed of project status.
Although the project has been scheduled to take place during the school’s
summer recess period, the school site will be hosting a summer science camp
between June 6 and July 29. Construction activity in the vicinity of the school will
be scheduled to avoid student arrival and departure times, and information will
be provided to camp parents advising them to avoid the construction work zone
at the rear of the school.
Resource Impact
Funding for the Channing Avenue/Lincoln Avenue Storm Drain Improvement
Project – Phase III in the amount of $3,230,000 is available in Storm Drainage
Fund Capital Improvement Program Project SD-11101. The balance of the funds
required to pay for project costs is recommended to be provided with the
approval of a Budget Amendment in the Storm Drainage Fund, increasing the
Capital Improvement Program appropriation for Project SD-11101 by $393,107;
and decreasing the Capital Improvement Program appropriation for Project SD-
06101, Storm Drain System Replacement and Rehabilitation, by $393,107.
Minimal impact is anticipated from the proposed reduction to the Storm Drain
System Replacement and Rehabilitation project, as the remaining balance in the
project, together with the anticipated FY 2017 allocation for this annually
recurring project, is expected to be sufficient for the storm drain replacement and
rehabilitation needs for the coming year.
Policy Implications
The recommendation does not represent any changes to existing City policies.
Environmental Review
City of Palo Alto Page 5
This project is categorically exempt from the provisions of the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) under Section 15301 of the CEQA Guidelines as
repair, maintenance and/or minor alteration of existing facilities and no further
environmental review is necessary.

authority to designate other breaches as material nor limit City’s right to terminate the
Construction Contract, or prevent the City from terminating the Agreement for breaches that are
not material. City’s determination of whether there has been noncompliance with the
Construction Contract so as to warrant exercise by City of its rights and remedies for default under
the Construction Contract, shall be binding on all parties. No termination or action taken by City
after such termination shall prejudice any other rights or remedies of City provided by law or
equity or by the Contract Documents upon such termination; and City may proceed against
Contractor to recover all liquidated damages and Losses suffered by City.
15.2 Delays by Sureties.
Time being of the essence in the performance of the Work, if Contractor’s surety fails to arrange for
completion of the Work in accordance with the Performance Bond, within seven (7) calendar days from the
date of the notice of termination, Contractor’s surety shall be deemed to have waived its right to complete
the Work under the Contract, and City may immediately make arrangements for the completion of the
Work through use of its own forces, by hiring a replacement contractor, or by any other means that City
determines advisable under the circumstances. Contractor and its surety shall be jointly and severally
Invitation for Bid (IFB) Package 14 Rev. April 27, 2016
CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
liable for any additional cost incurred by City to complete the Work following termination. In addition, City
shall have the right to use any materials, supplies, and equipment belonging to Contractor and located at
the Worksite for the purposes of completing the remaining Work.
15.3 Damages to City.
15.3.1 For Contractor's Default. City will be entitled to recovery of all Losses under law or
equity in the event of Contractor’s default under the Contract Documents.
15.3.2 Compensation for Losses. In the event that City's Losses arise from Contractor’s default
under the Contract Documents, City shall be entitled to deduct the cost of such Losses from
monies otherwise payable to Contractor. If the Losses incurred by City exceed the amount
payable, Contractor shall be liable to City for the difference and shall promptly remit same to City.
15.4 Suspension by City
15.4.1 Suspension for Convenience. City may, at any time and from time to time, without
cause, order Contractor, in writing, to suspend, delay, or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for
such period of time, up to an aggregate of fifty percent (50%) of the Contract Time. The order
shall be specifically identified as a Suspension Order by City. Upon receipt of a Suspension Order,
Contractor shall, at City’s expense, comply with the order and take all reasonable steps to
minimize costs allocable to the Work covered by the Suspension Order. During the Suspension or
extension of the Suspension, if any, City shall either cancel the Suspension Order or, by Change
Order, delete the Work covered by the Suspension Order. If a Suspension Order is canceled or
expires, Contractor shall resume and continue with the Work. A Change Order will be issued to
cover any adjustments of the Contract Sum or the Contract Time necessarily caused by such
suspension. A Suspension Order shall not be the exclusive method for City to stop the Work.
15.4.2 Suspension for Cause. In addition to all other remedies available to City, if Contractor
fails to perform or correct work in accordance with the Contract Documents, City may
immediately order the Work, or any portion thereof, suspended until the cause for the suspension
has been eliminated to City’s satisfaction. Contractor shall not be entitled to an increase in
Contract Time or Contract Price for a suspension occasioned by Contractor’s failure to comply
with the Contract Documents. City’s right to suspend the Work shall not give rise to a duty to
suspend the Work, and City’s failure to suspend the Work shall not constitute a defense to
Contractor’s failure to comply with the requirements of the Contract Documents.
15.5 Termination Without Cause.
City may, at its sole discretion and without cause, terminate this Construction Contract in part or in whole
upon written notice to Contractor. Upon receipt of such notice, Contractor shall, at City’s expense, comply
with the notice and take all reasonable steps to minimize costs to close out and demobilize. The
compensation allowed under this Paragraph 15.5 shall be the Contractor’s sole and exclusive
compensation for such termination and Contractor waives any claim for other compensation or Losses,
including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, loss of revenue, lost opportunity, or other
consequential, direct, indirect or incidental damages of any kind resulting from termination without cause.
Termination pursuant to this provision does not relieve Contractor or its sureties from any of their
obligations for Losses arising from or related to the Work performed by Contractor.
