SR-01-17-1978-6ETO: Mayor and City Council
Santa Monica, California, January 17, 1978
FROM: City Staff JAN 2 4 1978
SUBJECT: Construction of a Restroom Replacement
at the End of the Municipal Pier
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council award a contract for construction
of a restroom at the end of the Municipal Pier to Robert L. Reeves Construction
Co. in the amount of their low bid of $45,200.
Background
Bids for the subject project were opened in the City Council Chambers after
3:00 p.m., Monday, January 9, 1978, and read publicly by the City Clerk.
Plans and specifications were issued to nine (9) contractors. Three (3) bids
were received as follows:
Robert L. Reeves Construction Co. . . . $ 45,200
Bevan Construction. . . . . . . . . . . 45,407
Schwartz Development Group. . . . . . . 58,350
City Engineer's Estimate. . . . . . . . 35,000
The City Engineer's estimate was based on the cost of $ 27,800 for the previous
Pier restroom which was completed in January, 1977. An inflationary cost was
added to the average previous bids, but apparently the accessibility, because
of construction over the water, increased the cost drastically, in addition
to the high inflationary spiral.
JAN 2 4 1978
To: Mayor and City Council -2- January 17, 1978
Funds in the amount of $60,000 are in the 1977 -78 budget in Account
No. 46- 400 - 531 - 000 -920.
The restroom at the end of the Pier had deteriorated badly. The restroom is
directly over the landing for the sports fishing boats and the exhaust fumes
from the boat motors penetrated the restroom. The new construction will
minimize the gases in the building by designing the building to eliminate
eaves and vents on the ocean side of the building.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the subject contract be awarded to Robert L. Reeves
Construction Co., the lowest responsible bidder, in the amount of $45,200.
