17. DISCUSSION and BACKGROUND J
The City Council approved rejection of all bids and authorization to re- advertise the project for
construction bids on April 11, 2017. The bids were rejected in the original solicitation because of
a substantial gap between the low bid and available construction funds. This solicitation has a
reduced scope of work to meet the budget allocation. The re- advertisement for bids was
published on April 19, 2017 for a period of three weeks and the bids were opened on May 11,
2017. Four bids were received as follows:
1) ND Construction Company, Inc., Anaheim ............................. $184,637.00
2) Aegis ITS, Anaheim .............. ............................... .....................199,666.
3) California Professional Engr. Inc., La Puente ...... .....................224,390.00
4) DBX Inc., Temecula .............. ............................... .....................251,836.
ND Construction Company, Inc.'s (ND Construction) proposal complies in all material respects
to the bid solicitation and is a responsible bidder. Reference checks with the cities of Cerritos,
Whittier, and San Gabriel returned positive reviews of ND Construction's performance on
similar projects.
The crossing upgrades include painting of high visibility crosswalks and installation of
pedestrian warning beacons. The pedestrian warning beacon for this project will be the Rapid
Rectangular Flashing Beacon (RRFB) which has been approved by the Federal Highway
Administration for use in California. Research has shown very high rates of motorists "yield to
pedestrians" compliance with the RRFB, in comparison to much lower rates for standard round
beacons.
The project is federally funded under the Highway Safety Improvement Program. HSIP provides
up to a maximum of 90% reimbursement for eligible project costs; the City of Orange budgeted
the remaining 10% and any additional costs. The total estimated construction cost including the
contract, and 15% for contingencies and construction engineering, is $212,333, while available
construction funds are $241,000.
Construction is expected to start in September 2017 and is scheduled to be complete in
November 2017.
