Santa Monica, California
RESOLUTION NUMBER 7712 (CCS)
(City Council Series)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF SANTA MONICA WAIVING COMPETITIVE BIDDING
AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO NEGOTIATE
AND EXECUTE A CONTRACT FOR THE RECONSTRUCTION
OF THE WEST END OF THE MUNICIPAL PIER AND THE
UPGRADING OF UTILITIES ON THE EXISTING PIER
ON THE OPEN MARKET
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA MONICA DOES
RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 608 of the Santa Monica Charter
authorizes the city Council to waive competitive bidding for a
public works project if, after rejecting bids, the city Council
determines that, in its opinion, the materials, supplies, or work
may be so purChased or performed at a lower price on the open
market or with city employees.
SECTION 2. On October 25, 1988, the City Council
rejected all bids presented for reconstruction of the west end of
the Municipal Pier and the upgrading of utilities on the existing
pier on the ground that the lowest base bid received exceeded the
City Engineer's estimate by $2,107,000.
SECTION 3. In accordance with Santa Monica Charter
Section 608, the city Council declares and determines that, in
its opinion, the public work improvements to the Santa Monica
pier may be performed more economically if purchased in the open
market, and waives competitive bidding for the improvements to
the Santa Monica pier and authorizes the City Manager to
negotiate and execute a contract on the open market. The City
- 1 -
e
e
Engineer believes that a reduction in the bid prices can be
achieved through negotiation due to the apparent high cost of
lighting fixtures and site furnishings, stringent timber decking
specification, and by making minor design modifications to
simplify the construction work.
SECTION 4. The City Clerk shall certify to the
adoption of this Resolution, and thenceforth and thereafter the
same shall be in full force and effect.
