On October 15, 2013, the Contra Costa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District received bids from the following contractors: BIDDER TOTAL AMOUNT, BOND AMOUNTS SMP, $138,041.90 Payment: $138,041.90 Performance: $138,041.90 Green Valley Landscape, $234,950.00 Ecological Concerns, Inc., $249,980.75 McNabb Construction, Inc., $266,140.00 The Professional Tree Care Company, $271,045.50 Green Vista Landscape, $304,600.00 Marina Landscape, $415.300.00 Shelterbelt Builders, Inc., $462,390.00 The bidder listed first above, SMP, submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid, which is $96,908.10 less than the next lowest bid. The Chief Engineer has reported that SMP, the lowest monetary bidder, has complied with the requirements of the project specifications, and the Chief Engineer recommends that the construction contract be awarded to SMP. The Chief Engineer recommends that the bid submitted by SMP, is the lowest responsive and responsible bid, and this Board so concurs and so finds.

The general prevailing rates of wages, which shall be the minimum rates paid on this project, have been filed with the Clerk of the Board, and copies will be made available to any party upon request. CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Construction of the Upper Sand Creek Basin Wetland Restoration project would be delayed, and the project might not be built.
