Upon review of bids received, staff determined that CJ Concrete Construction, Incorporated was
not responsive to and did not conform in all material respects to the specifications contained in the
City's invitation to bid. CJ Concrete failed to meet the DBE goal of 6% or to show Good Faith
Efforts. The second lowest bid in the amount of $225,000 was received from Nobest Incorporated.
City staff is recommending to award the project to Nobest, Incorporated who did meet all material
respects to the specifications contained in the City's invitation to bid. The engineer's estimate for
this project is $223,000.
This project will provide for the construction of approximately 50 ADA wheelchair access ramps
at various locations, citywide. As part of this project, detectable warning surfaces (truncated
domes) will be installed per the American with Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines
(ADAAG) requirements.
The City receives CDBG funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development
for activities that primarily benefit Low and Moderate Income Residents. Construction of ADA
compliant access ramps citywide qualifies for CDBG funding because the ramps benefit disabled
residents that are considered to be low- income.
