Body
ANALYSIS:
The project will include construction of approximately 750 linear feet of new 8-inch ductile iron waterline, including all necessary connections, services, fire hydrants, valves, and related work in Hayden Avenue from Nelson Street to Howe Street and in Howe Street from Hayden Avenue to an existing zone isolation valve approximately 430 feet south of Hayden Avenue.
A street improvement project on Howe Street to include concrete curb and gutter to be constructed by the City and asphalt concrete pavement to be constructed by private property owners is proposed for construction in early 2020. The City desires to replace an existing 6-inch diameter asbestos cement waterline in Howe Street prior to construction of the street improvements. The existing 6-inch asbestos cement pipe constructed in 1977 currently serves several customers with 1060-Zone water, requiring the customers to use individual booster pumps to increase pressure for beneficial use. The proposed waterline alignment will connect to the 1220-Zone waterlines in Nelson Street and Howe Street and eliminate the need for privately owned booster pumps at the services currently connected to the 1060-Zone distribution system. Delivery of fire flows will be improved by the proposed 8-inch waterline connected to the 1220-Zone distribution system.
The project location and limits are shown on Exhibit “A.”
The Plans and Specifications for this project were completed by K&A Engineering and reviewed by City staff and are ready for adoption and award. The project was advertised pursuant to Corona Municipal Code requirements, and on September 11, 2019, six (6) bids were received from prequalified contractors through the PlanetBids bidding service.
The following is a summary of the bid results and the Engineer’s Estimate:
Staff reviewed all bids received and recommends awarding the contract based on the Bid Schedule for a total contract amount of $245,545.00 to Ferreira Construction Co., Inc., dba/Ferreira Coastal Construction Co., as the lowest responsive, responsible bidder. All licenses and references for Ferreira Construction Co., Inc., dba/Ferreira Coastal Construction Co., have been reviewed and verified by City staff, and all other documentation is in order.
