Mayor and Council Communication
DATE: 08/06/19 M&C FILE NUMBER: M&C 19-0006
LOG NAME: 13P19-0117 SEWER TRUCK REJECT LSJ PMD FLEET
SUBJECT
Authorize Rejection of All Responses to Bid No. 19-0117 for Gapvax Sewer Trucks for the Water Department Through the Property Management
Department (ALL COUNCIL DISTRICTS)
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the rejection of all responses to Bid No. 19-0117 for Gapvax sewer trucks for the Water
Department through the Property Management Department.
DISCUSSION:
The Purchasing Division received four responses, with two separate bids — a response and an alternate response — submitted together in the
same envelope. When the bids were opened and read aloud on April 25, 2019, staff mistakenly thought that the two documents constituted a
single response, and only one of the responses was read aloud. Staff did not realize the second document was an alternate bid until later.
Because state law requires these types of bids to be publicly opened and read aloud and one of the four was not, it was determined that all of the
bids must be rejected and a new ITB issued for the Gapvax Sewer Trucks. Upon Council rejecting all bids, the Purchasing staff will restart the
bidding process.
