EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Staff recommends that the City Council reject all bid proposals received for the Phase 2 Project. Three bid proposals were received with bid amounts ranging from $4,728,134.60, to $5,687,456.90 along with a fourth bid in the amount of $3,793,850 that was returned for lack of bid deposit. The two lowest bids were determined to be non-responsive. The single responsive bidder, Davis Moreno Construction, Inc., of Fresno, California submitted a proposal with a contract price that is fifty-eight percent (58%) above the engineer's estimate for the Phase 2 Project.
