Discussion Project Description The work to be performed under this contract is for sidewalk, curb, gutter, and asphalt pavement repairs; and Portland cement concrete and asphalt recycling. The sidewalk, curb, and gutter repair locations are shown on the attached City of Palo Alto Page 2 Location Maps and Location Lists (Attachment B). The two separate capital projects have been combined for administrative efficiency and as an attempt to get lower bid prices for a larger quantity of concrete work. The curb and gutter project represents approximately $339,000 of the total proposed contract award amount. The ongoing sidewalk portion of this contract will address sidewalk deficiencies in Sidewalk Replacement Districts 14 and 15 that encompass portions of the Greenmeadow, Fairmeadow, and Palo Verde neighborhoods. Each year this project addresses one or two of the 23 Sidewalk Replacement Districts. The current cycle traversing the City (District by District) started in 1986. At the end of this proposed contract, six Sidewalk Replacement Districts will remain to be addressed by the ongoing program. The curb and gutter portion of the project includes repairs of more than eighty curb and gutter locations throughout the City that have been lifted by tree roots and experience ponding problems. These curb and gutter locations are selected from a list of complaints received by Public Works. This project concentrates on curb and gutter repair requests that are not fixed by other projects such as the annual street maintenance overlay project. The Curb and Gutter Repair Project began in 2012 and is an ongoing project. The first four years of this new project include a higher level of funding to address the initial backlog of 290 locations. At the end of this second year of the project, approximately half of the original backlog locations will have been fixed. Work near schools will be done during the school spring and summer breaks. The schools affected are Hoover Elementary School, Fairmeadow Elementary School, Jane Lathrop Stanford (JLS) Middle School and Chandler School. The project also includes sidewalk repairs in intensive-use areas such as the University Avenue downtown area. Work in downtown and other intensive use areas will be stopped during lunch hours to minimize the inconvenience to restaurants, merchants and the public. For all work, the Contractor is required to provide City-furnished door hanger notices to adjacent residences and businesses at least 72 hours before the start of work. Staff will also use other outreach methods such as rBlock and the City’s website. In addition, staff will interface with the Palo City of Palo Alto Page 3 Alto Downtown Business and Professional Association, neighborhood associations, and other organizations and businesses as appropriate. This contract also includes the construction of forty-four curb ramps with detectable warning surface in compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ramps will include street names stamped on the curb ramp and a standardized detectable warning surface feature to warn visually impaired people of potential hazards in their path of travel.Detectable warning surfaces used in this project will consist of a surface of truncated domes aligned in a square grid pattern. The truncated domes are yellow in color at yellow crosswalks and dark grey in color at all other locations,and are in compliance with Federal Highway Administration requirements enforcing the use of truncated domes on Federal, State and local level projects.The truncated domes are also in accordance with the 2007 Public Works Standard Drawings and Specifications. Where dark grey panels do not provide the required contrast ratio, yellow panels will be used. Bid Process On October 31, 2012, a notice inviting formal bids for the FY 2013 Sidewalk, Curb and Gutter Repairs Project was posted at City Hall, and sent to ten builder’s exchanges and six contractors. The bidding period was twenty-one days. Bids were received from six qualified contractors on November 20,2012 as listed on the attached Bid Summary (Attachment C).

The low bid is 9% below the engineer’s estimate of $965,770. Staff has reviewed all bids and recommends that the bid submitted by Rosas Brothers Construction be accepted and that Rosas Brothers Construction be declared the lowest responsible bidder. Funding is available to award all four Add Alternates, therefore staff is recommending including these in the contract for a total amount of $1,022,066. Per the instructions on the Invitation for Bid (IFB), the Add Alternates were not considered in the basis for award. This was also made clear to the bidders on the actual bid form. The change order amount of $102,000, which equals ten percent of the total contract, is requested for related, additional but unforeseen work which may develop during the project. 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 and has no outstanding complaints.
