*Staff recommends that the low bid submitted by Rope Construction, Inc. (RCI) be rejected due to the
following
In addition to this project, RCI, a relatively new company and new proposer on City projects,
submitted low bids on the following City projects
• Water and Sewer Replacement on White Settlement Road (approved on January 22, 2002 by
M&C C-18933), and
• Wesleyan Drive from Rosedale Street to Vickery Boulevard, Unit 1 (Water Replacement), and
• Water and Sewer Replacement Contract 2001 WSM-A.
As is customary when the potential for multiple awards exists, staff has conducted an informal
assessment of RCI's financial, experience, manpower and equipment records to ensure that RCI can
simultaneously and satisfactorily construct all four projects
Staff has concluded that RCI should be awarded the Wesleyan Drive water replacement and the White
Settlement Road water and sewer project. This action will allow the City to monitor RCI's performance
and provide a more favorable opportunity for success. Staff does not believe that awarding RCI all four
contracts at this time is in the best interests of the City or RCI, based on a lack of performance history
on City projects
Staff recommends, therefore, that the City Council reject RCI's bid for this project and award the
contract to S H U C , Inc. Staff will be recommending that the City Council take similar action on the
project for water and sewer replacement contract 2001 WSM-A. RCI has been informed in writing of
the above recommendations
In addition to the contract cost, $29,800 00 (water $22,500 00, and sewer $7,300 00) is required for
inspection and survey by the Engineering Department, and $21,300 00 (water $16,100 00, and. sewer
$5,200 00) is required for project contingencies.
