FISCAL IMPACT: The construction contract will be funded 60% Federal Safe Routes to School Funds (SRTS), 9% Transportation Development Act Funds (TDA), 31% Local Road Funds. BACKGROUND: The above project was previously approved by the Board of Supervisors, plans and specifications were filed with the Board and bids were invited by the Public Works Director. Payment to the Habitat Conservancy Plan for $38,447.36 will be paid prior to award of contract. On June 24, 2014, the Public Works Department received bids from the following contractors: BIDDER, TOTAL AMOUNT, BOND AMOUNTS Hess : $386,176.00; Payment: $386,176.00; Performance: $386,176.00 Anvil Builders, Inc.: $468,840.00 The bidder listed first above, Hess, submitted the lowest responsive and responsible bid, which is $82,664.00 less than the next lowest bid. This is a federally-funded project subject to a DBE contract goal and requirements. The Public Works Director has determined and reports that Hess attained DBE participation of 6.30% and submitted adequate documentation of good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal (20.68%) and requirements for this project. The Public Works Director recommends that the Board determine that Hess has demonstrated adequate good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal for this project and has complied with the DBE requirements for this project and recommends that the construction contract be awarded to Hess. The Public Works Director recommends that the bid submitted by Hess is the lowest responsive and responsible bid, and this Board concurs and so finds. The Board of Supervisors previously determined that the project is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act as a Class 1(c) Exemption, and a Notice of Exemption was filed with the County Clerk on February 16, 2012. 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 project would be delayed, and the project might not be built. CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT: Not applicable.
