W A T E R E N E R G Y L 1. f E <br /> L3191& RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br /> Board Memorandum <br /> PUBLIC UTILITIES <br /> BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: November 15, 2013 <br /> ITEM NO: 3 <br /> SUBJECT: REJECTION OF BIDS FOR THE INSTALLATION OF TWO STEEL POLE <br /> CONCRETE FOUNDATIONS AS PART OF THE STREETER GRADE SEPARATION <br /> PROJECT, BID NO 7189 <br /> ISSUE: <br /> The issue for Board of Public Utilities consideration is rejection of all bids for construction of two concrete <br /> foundations to support two steel poles as part of the Streeter Grade Separation Project, Bid No. 7189 <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> That the Board of Public Utilities reject all bids received for construction of two concrete foundations to <br /> support two steel poles as part of the Streeter Grade Separation Project, Bid No. 7189. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> On October 19, 2012, the Board of Public Utilities approved the capital expenditure for Work Order Nos. <br /> 1014286 and 1111599 for the relocation of various underground and overhead electrical facilities as part <br /> of the Streeter Avenue Railroad Grade Separation Project (Project). <br /> The Project includes the relocation of a transmission line and two steel poles to maintain safe clearance <br /> for the construction of the Dewey Avenue Bridge. The Public Utilities staff determined that the <br /> construction of two concrete foundations to support the two steel poles required for the relocation was a <br /> public works construction project. <br /> Bid No. 7189 was issued on September 16, 2013 resulting in four bids. However, the bid was <br /> inadvertently released without the City's standard requirements for public works construction projects, <br /> including the procedures for the award of the bid, insurance, indemnification and other City requirements <br /> for construction projects. Staff will rebid the Project using the Electric Division's Contractor's Panel in <br /> order to keep the Project on schedule. <br /> FISCAL IMPACT: <br /> The Board of Public Utilities previously approved Work Order Nos. 1014286 and 1111599 in the amount <br /> of$1,338,673 and $310,720 respectively. No additional funds are necessary for this portion of work. <br /> Prepared by: Kevin S. Milligan, Interim Public Utilities Deputy General Manager/Energy Delivery <br /> Approved by: Stephen H.
