FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: September 1, 1987
SUBJECT: Channel Maintenance Agreement - Walnut Creek Channel (7520-689324)
Specific Requests or Recommendations & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
As the governing body of the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation
District, APPROVE Soil Excavation Agreement for Walnut Creek Channel Maintenance with
Double D Transportation Company, and AUTHORIZE the Chief Engineer to sign the Agreement on
behalf of the District.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Agreement commits the District to pay the contractor $3.50 per cubic yard for the
removal of between 5,000 and 50,000 cubic yards of silt material from the Walnut Creek
Channel . The fund source is Flood Control Zone 3B.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND:
Informal bids were recently solicited in which the District agreed to pay to the Contractor
the sum of $2.50 per cubic yard of material removed from the project area. Two bids were
received, the lowest being $3.75 per cubic yard. Both bids were rejected. Subsequent to
the rejection of the bids, one Contractor advised he had an immediate need for the material
and would take it at a lower price. Maintenance of the channel requires that this material
be removed and it appears the best price to the District can be achieved in cases like this
where immediate commitments can be made when the material is wanted. The District intends
to contract for the removal of the material on a first come, first served basis at $3.50 a
yard to any qualified excavator.
CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the award is delayed, there is a risk that the silt material will not be ' n demand when
the District wishes it removed. This would result in an increased c t e Distri t.
