Award of Site Improvement Contract for Civic Center
Mr. Henriksen cammented on the contract documents and said it was asked that
an alternate bid be provided for a sidewalk and driveway into the Council parking
-.rea. Some of the sidewalk areas and driveway from Brookshire Avenue are to be
covered with black brick pavers, as well as the lohbies in the Police Department
and City Hall, which are expensive. Staff suggested an alternate of exposed
aggregate concrete as a comparison. The cost for the brick pavers if $98,000,
whereas the exposed aggregate concrete is $30,000. The amount would decrease
slightly if the Council decides on the exposed aggregate concrete as opposed to
the black brick pavers.
Mr. Henriksen mentioned a complaint was received from the second low bidder,
Tom Downey, claiming the low bidder, Javaid Enterprises, does not have a proper
license, and three of the sub -contractors do not have licenses. He has been in-
fortred by Javaid that at least two of the sub -contractors are attempting to clear
the discrepancies. If not, Javaid has indicated they can do that portion of the
work themselves, since they have the proper licenses.
It was moved by Councilman Quinn, seconded by Councilman Jackman, and passed
by the following vote to approve the alternate of exposed aggregate concrete for
sidewalk and driveway areas and recommend to the Civic Center Corporation award
of a unit price contract for construction of Site Improvements, Phase I, to the
lowest and responsible bidder, Javaid Enterprises, Inc., of Rowland Heights, con-
tingent upon the City Attorney's review and approval of the corrective action by
three sub -contractors in connection with their contractor's licenses, as well as
City Attorney approval of the contract docuttents.
AYES: 4 Council Numbers: Jackman, Barb, Quinn, Cormack
ABSENT: 1 Council Member: Davila
Mr. Ovrom commented that a revised Resolution has been presented on the
Civic Center Refinancing. Staff has checked into whether any changes would re-
quire a new validation proceedings on the Lease, and it was determined to not be
necessary. Also, there will be no penalty assessnmt since this was not approved
at the last meeting, and there will not be any delays due to the changes that
have been made.
Councilman Jackman said he was previously disqualified from voting because he
held som of the Civic Center Corporation Bonds. He has since divested himself of
the bonds, and he has an opinion from the City Attorney which permits him to
participate in the discussion and vote.
Councilman Davila arrived at the meting at 5:14 p.m.
