RESOLUTION REJECTING BID - Bid Schedule No. 2067, Soccer Field
Improvements at Parsons School
(B-050-020 & G-100)
Recreation and Parks Director Riley submitted a tabulation of
bids for Bid Schedule No. 2067 (Job No. 9832), Soccer Field
Improvements at Parsons School. Mr. Riley explained that only
one bid was received from Enterprise Landscaping in the amount of
$137,299 for Alternate Bid No. 1 and $144,244 for Alternate Bid
No. 2. The Engineer's estimate for Alternate Bid Nos. 1 and 2
was $107,150 and $135,125, respectively. There was originally
$40,000 budgeted by the City of Redding and $40,000 budgeted by
the Enterprise School District for a total of $80,000 for this
project.
Mr. Riley explained that the contractor had overestimated the
quantity of imported fill material actually required to construct
the subgrade. The contractor has indicated a willingness to
negotiate that item and one or two others of lesser magnitude
which would result in a total contract price of $109,000 or less.
Mr. Riley further advised that the Enterprise School District, at
their Board meeting tonight, will consider sharing half the cost
difference of $29,000 with the City.
It is the recommendation of both the Acting Public Works Director
and the Recreation and Parks Director that a resolution be
adopted rejecting the bid by a 4/5 vote and authorize negotiation
in the open market.
MOTION: Made by Council Member Dahl, seconded by Council Member
Buffum, that Resolution No. 88-197 be adopted, a resolution of
the City Council of the City of Redding rejecting the bid of
Enterprise Landscaping for the Parsons Soccer Field Improvements
(Bid Schedule 2067); declaring that such improvements may be
acquired in the open market; and authorizing the negotiation
thereof by the City Manager.
Voting was as follows:
Ayes: Council Members - Buffum, Dahl, Fulton, Carter, and
Johannessen

Resolution No. 88-197 is on file in the office of the City Clerk.
