Cesar H. Odio ENCLOSURES\rfC or Commission Meeting of
City Manager December 19, 1985)
It is recommended that a resolution be adopted
to rescind the contract awarded to Superior
Seawall Services, Inc. for the project named
WAINWRIGHT PARK BULKHEAD REPAIRS, rejecting all
bids submitted September 19, 1985 in connection
with said project; and further authorizing the
City Manager to readvertise for new bids.
Bids were received September 19, 1985 for WAINWRIGHT PARK BULKHEAD
REPAIRS. As reflected in the tabulation of bids, the $31,210 bid
of Superior Seawall Services, Inc. was the lowest responsible bid
for the total bid of the proposal, and a contract was awarded to
said firm on October 10, 1985.
Since then, the contractor has notified this department that his
firm's insurance costs would obliterate any profits to be made on
the job. The contractor has requested to be released from entering
into a contract with the City; the contractor fully understands
that his Bid Bond will be forfeited.
The amount of the second low bid on the project is more than 50%
higher than the original award and the engineering estimate. In an
effort to obtain more favorable bids, it will be to the advantage
of the City to reject all existing bids and readvertise the
project.
The attached resolution rescinds the award of a contract to
Superior Seawall Services, Inc., for WAINWRIGHT PARK BULKHEAD
REPAIRS, and authorizes the City Manager to readvertise for new
bids.
