Recommendation to Reject Bids for construction of
Improvements to Parking structure No. 5
Introduction
This report requests that the City Council reject bids for
the construction of improvements to Parking structure No. 5
located at 1440 4th street and authorize staff to redesign and
readvertise the project.
Background
On August 12, 1986, the city council approved The Third
Street Mall Specific Plan which includes revitalizing The Mall
area through implementation of design standards, an operation and
maintenance program, upgrading and expanding the downtown parking
structures and a financing program. As part of Phase I of the
Plan, Parking structure No. 5 located at 1440 Fourth street is to
be expanded to provide 300 new parking spaces and commerciall
retail space on the ground floor along Fourth street.
At the October 14, 1986 meeting the City Council awarded a
contract to Theodore Anvick Structural Engineers to design and
prepare plans and specifications for the remodel and expansion of

Council Meeting: December 8, 1987
Miner-Dederick Construction Corp. $5,574,000
e
FTR International Inc. $5,600,000
Shirley Bros. Inc. $6,490,000
City Engineer's Estimate: $3,000,000.00
The low bid by S . A. B. I et Sons Electrique Co. is for
electrical work only and is in non-compliance with the bid
requirements.
Due to the difference in the amount of the bids and in the
funds available for the project, Staff is recommending that all
bids be rejected and the project be readvertised fOllowing some
revisions to the design. The revisions will be of a structural
nature and should result in reduced costs. It is estimated that
redesign and readvertisement of this project will result in a two
and one-half month delay in the award of the contract. Staff
will schedule construction around next year's holiday season so
as to minimize any impact in the downtown area.
Recommendations
It is recommended that the city council reject all bids and
authorize staff to redesign and readvertise the construction of
improvements to Parking structure No. 5 located at 1440 Fourth
Street.
