DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND This was initially bid as bus shelter purchase and installation by informal bid; and bids were received and opened on May 14, 2015. Six (6) bidders submitted proposals. The lowest bidder was deemed non - responsive and the other bids were higher than the available project funding. Staff recommended rejection of all bids on June 9, 2015. Staff has since decided to purchase just the bus shelters for the seven locations listed below: 1) Southbound (SB) The City Drive far side City Way 2) Northbound (NB) The City Drive far side Dawn Way 3) SB Main Street far side Katella Avenue 4) SB Main Street far side Chapman Avenue 5) Orange Transportation Center at Dock #1 6) SB Main Street far side La Veta Avenue 7) SB Tustin Street @ East Village Way These seven locations were included in the 100 bus stops in Orange County with the highest ridership numbers. All of our existing bus shelters are from Tolar Manufacturing Company ( Tolar). In order to maintain quality and appearance of bus shelters throughout the City, staff obtained a quote from Tolar. The total purchase cost is $122,420.00. The OCTA grant from Project W — Safe Transit Stops Program will fully fund the project. Shelter installations will be performed by the Contractor who will be selected for the shelter's maintenance under a separate contract; and the Contractor selection process is anticipated to be complete by end this year. 8.
