RIVERSIDE PUBLIC UTILITIES <br /> M3Board Memorandum <br /> P U B L I C U T I L I T I E S <br /> BOARD OF PUBLIC UTILITIES DATE: February 5, 2010 <br /> ITEM NO: 9 <br /> SUBJECT: AWARD OF BID NO. 6732 FOR THE CONSTRUCTION AND INSTALLATION OF A <br /> COMPRESSED NATURAL GAS (CNG) VEHICLE FUELING ISLAND AT THE <br /> UTILITIES OPERATIONS CENTER <br /> ISSUE: <br /> Board of Public Utilities approval is requested to award Bid No. 6732 for the construction and installation <br /> of a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle fueling island at the Utilities Operations Center. <br /> RECOMMENDATIONS: <br /> That the Board of Public Utilities: <br /> 1. Award a contract to Amtek Construction of Santa Fe Springs, California for the construction and <br /> installation of a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) vehicle fueling island at the Utilities Operations <br /> Center in the amount of$66,814; and <br /> 2. Authorize the City Manager, or his designee, to prepare and execute all necessary documents. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The City of Riverside (City) currently utilizes approximately 242 Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) <br /> vehicles. Approximately half of these vehicles are used by the Public Utilities Department. The current <br /> City fueling facility, located on St. Lawrence Street, provides several fuel types including gasoline, diesel, <br /> propane and CNG and is open to the public and other governmental agencies. These governmental <br /> agencies include Caltrans, the County of Riverside, AT&T, Student Transportation of America (school <br /> buses) and several others. The high volume of traffic at the current fueling island often results in lengthy <br /> delays for City vehicles waiting to fuel, and can result in the delay of the fueling of Utilities' vehicles <br /> needed for response to urgent or emergency situations. <br /> By completing this project, the City's Public Utilities' vehicles would have access to a CNG fueling island <br /> within the secured area of the Utilities Operation Center, thus providing additional access and relieving <br /> the congestion at the existing public fueling facility. <br /> The City's General Services Department staff solicited bids for the construction and installation of a CNG <br /> vehicle fueling island at the Utilities Operations Center. Nine contractors attended the initial job walk, <br /> with four contractors submitting bids. Of the bids submitted, Amtek Construction of Santa Fe Springs, <br /> California provided the lowest responsive bid in the amount of$66,814. <br /> CONTRACTOR LOCATION BID TOTAL <br /> 1 Amtek Construction Santa Fe Springs, CA $66,814 <br /> 2 Weaver Electric, Inc. Anaheim, CA $97,432 <br /> 3 Allsup Corporation Upland, CA $98,920 <br /> 4 American Integrated Services, Inc. Wilmington, CA $184,746 <br />
