excbanges on July 24, 1 m, and a project infonnation sheet was sen/. 10 38 rontraclorS 00
Jl'ly 20, 1m. Plans and specificatious were picked up b~ twenty contraclorS prior 10 II.,
bid opening. Bids were received from eigh! qualified conlr.oclors on August 29,1995, as
listed on the attacbed summary (attaclunent A). Staff has reviewed all bids submitted in
• timely manner and recomrnems thaI the low bid of $625,461. submitted by D. L. Falk
Coostruction Company, be derermined by Cooncillo be the lowest responsible bidder and
Illat the contracI be awarded accordingly. Bids ranged from • high of $851,0::0 10 • low
bid of $625,461. The low bid is 29 percent below the Engineer's estimate of $880,0::0.
The bidding period was five weeks and was adequate based on the size and complexity of
the project and the eigh! bids which were received.
The COIlswllUl1 agreement was amended when the Council awarded the construction
contract for the remodeling of 425 Bl)'aDI Streel 10 Include construction services for both
425 Bl)'ant Street and the Senior Center (CM1U55:95).
CooiiDzency ReQJl§t
Staff is recommending • contingency of 20 percent as compared 10 the Iypical 10 10 15
percent canlingency on projecls involving new construction. This amount is being
recommended 10 cover the cost of related but unforeseen work which is l:JFically
alSCOvered during remodeling in older builamgs. The JOlIowing faclors were taken into
aCCOUll! in recommend ing the 20 percell! contingency:
The or:iginaI build'lllg is about 70 year> old and has been remodeled and eql8llded
in 1950 and 1971. This mix of coostruction Increases the possibility thaI
unanticipated work may be necessary 10 tie the new improvemenls into the exlsliog
builamg.
• The Senior Center was constructed under earlier building codes. Previous
improvements such as electrical wiring may be uncovered by this project and may
require replacement in order 10 meet current codes.
• The as-built drawings for the existing buiJamg are incomplete,
• Public ac=s must be maintained 10 La Comida fust fJoor restrooms and classrooms
during COIlSIruCtion. Unforeseen access problems discovered after a period ot osage
may req<!ire an adjustmenl in !he contraclor's work scbeduJes, priorities and work
boon in order 10 ensure the public's safely,
As an example. the Ct"ic Center Build out project which remodeled the Eighth and
Mezzanine fIoon of the Civic Center included a 20 percent coolingency approval by
Council. Due 10 the complex nature of the work a 19.6 percent contingency was actually
utilized fOr such items as asbestos and lead reIOOVaI. However, the cost of construction
including !he change orde£1l, still remained within budget.
Wstsxjcal Considerations
Because of the historical significance of !he Senior Center build'mg. the Historical
Resources Board and Architectu."2.l Review Board reviewed the scope of work fur the

interior improvements. Each Board recommended inclusion 0( hisrorical architecture on
the second story. As l result, staff has included wooded pkwre ralls, chair railings and
baseboards in the public areas on the second story as a bid alternate in the bid proposal.
The bid 0( $5.561 received for these improvements is reasonable and staff recommends
that the WOI:k be awarded as part 0{ the contI1lCt. The I<ltaI =t amount is as follow.:

portions of the building, structurally upgrading and reconstructing the second floor,
remodeling the first floor restrooms to conform to Title 24 and ADA standards. and
