This report recommends that the City Council award a contract for the remain-
ing building demolition, for the downtown shopping center project, in the
amount of $124,999.
Background
In accordance with the Disposition and Development Agreement entered into on
September 10, 1975, it is the responsibility of the Santa Monica Redevelopment
Agency to convey to the Developer parcels that are clear of all obstructions
and ready for construction.
Bids for the demolition and some grading work were opened in the City Council
Chambers after 3:00 p.m. Thursday, June 15, 1978, and read publicly by the
Assistant City Clerk.
Plans and specifications were issued to over 100 demolition and grading con-
tractors. The Developer prepared the grading plans. The City Staff prepared
the demolition plans and the specifications for both phases.

To: Mayor and City Council -2- July 13, 1978
Five bids were received as follows:
A -1 Lin -Ty Demolition Co . ................... $ 171,665.00
Maness Excavating & Grading, Inc. ........... 249,800.00
Gangi Bilt Homes ............................ 262,500.00
Harold Morris /J. C. Huggins ................. 270,908.25
Cleveland Wrecking Co . ...................... 354,485.00
City Engineer's Estimate .................... 400,000.00
Attached is a bid summary sheet.
The low bid of A -1 Lin -Ty Demolition Co. consists of two (2) items of work.
Item No. 1, in the amount of $124,999, is for the demolition work only. Item
No. 2, in the amount of $46,666, is for grading the site in accordance with
the grading plan prepared by the Developer.
After extensive research and discussions with the bidders and the Developers,
it was decided by Staff to do only the demolition portion of the work at this
time for the following reasons:
1. Many of the buildings are vacant. The possibility of vandalism and lia-
bility exis -ts. They should be removed as soon as possible.
2. Unresolved questions remain as to precisely what and how much earthwork
and grading is to be done. Item No. 2 includes only work that the City
Staff feels is the responsibility of the City. The grading plans for this
item did not include such items as removing excess soil, excavating and
recompacting previously filled areas, and importing select -soil for the

upper two (2) feet of the total project.
July 13, 1978
3. The final earthwork plans should be prepared and this portion of the work
readvertised for bids.
4. The low bidder has agreed to keep his quote of $46,666 for Item No. 2 good
until October, 1978. If it becomes desirable to do this work, City Staff
will request City Council to authorize a separate contract at a later date.
The Outlook's press is not included in the low bidder's price. City Staff
is negotiating for the selling of this equipment.
Funding
Following is a summary of the estimated funds required to accomplish the demo-
lition portion of this project:
Demolition Only ... ............................... $ 124,999
Contingencies ..... ............................... 70,001
Inspection ............ 5,000
Total $ 200,000
The reason for the large amount of contingencies funds is that there are
expected buried and unknown items such as fuel tanks, cess pools, basements,
etc. that must be removed and paid for under a Change Order. Funds are
available in Account Nos. 01- 200 - 263 - 000 -246 and 01- 200 - 263 - 000 -644.

Subject: Recommendation to Reject Bids for Demolition and Grading for
the Downtown Redevelopment Shopping Center Project
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council reject all bids for the
demolition and grading for the downtown redevelopment shopping center
project.
Background
It is the responsibility of the City of Santa Monica to convey to the
developer of the downtown shopping center a site clear of all obstructions
and ready for construction. The demolition plan and the specifications for
this project were prepared by the City Staff, and the grading plan was
prepared by the Developer's Engineer.
Recently the demolition and grading for this project was advertised, and
plans and specifications were issued to over 100 demolition and grading
contractors. Bids were opened on June 15, 1978, from five bidders as listed
below:
A -1 Lin -Ty Demolition $ 171,665.00
Maness Excavating & Grading, Inc. $ 249,800.00
Gangi Bilt Homes $ 262,500.00
Harold Morris /J.C. Huggins $ 270,905.26
Cleveland Wrecking $ 354,485.00

JUL 1 1 1978
To: Mayor and City Council -2- July 5, 1978
Since the opening of the bids, the developer has proposed changes in the
grading and earth work. Further, two of the five bidders, including the
low bidder, were unqualified because of the lack of proper contractor's
licenses. Therefore, the staff believes that all bids should be rejected
and that the project should be readvertised.
Recommendation
That the City Council:
1. Reject all bids for the demolition and grading of the Downtown
Shopping Center project;
2. That the staff be authorized to readvertise this project.
