RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council reject all bids for the Herndon Avenue Corridor Pedestrian Signalization Upgrade Project and direct staff to rebid the project.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Herndon Avenue Corridor Pedestrian Signalization Upgrade Project will remove and replace existing pedestrian signal heads at each signalized intersection along Herndon Avenue, from Golden State Boulevard to Willow Avenue, for a total of 19 intersection upgrades. Each intersection along this corridor is currently equipped with pedestrian signal heads that do not include the latest available means of notification to direct pedestrian traffic. The new pedestrian signal heads will provide a countdown timer to notify pedestrians of the remaining walk time so they can more safely cross the intersection.
The bids received ranged from $90,020.00 to $157,122.00 and while all bids where within budget, none of the bidders provided all bid documents as required, per the Bidder's Checklist, resulting in the bids not adhering to either the funding or construction requirements; all bidders were therefore determined to be non-responsive and their bids shall be rejected. Staff recommends that Council reject all bids and direct staff to rebid this project.
