FROM TH'E GOLF COURSE FUND TO THE PARK AND RECREATION IMPROVEMENT FUND Shortly after the failure of the low water crossing, the consulting engineer was directed to design a solution The redesign was to stabilize the low water crossing within the existing condition of the alluvial soils with the expected full inundation by a five year storm event Pricing for this solution was received from Coronado Builders, Inc ,the general contractor presently on-site constructing the clubhouse and maintenance complex The price which- was submitted was unacceptable to both the City and consulting engineer On August 13, 1993, a meeting was held at the site with representatives from the Park and Recreation Department, Department of Law, Transportation and Public Works, Poe Engineers, Inc ,and the Corps of Engineers Due to the potential of future loss and damage to both City property and other newly constructed improvements, the Department of Law determined that immediate action was warranted It was recommended that the City identify general contractors with experience and expertise in construction who could address floodway crossings These contractors were to develop a solution and determine probable cost In the opinion of the Department of Law,the departure from normal bidding procedures inclusive of DBE, was legally justifiable in accordance with state bidding laws because of unforeseen damage to City property and in order to preserve such property During the week of August 16, 1993, the City and consulting engineer met with four contractors who were qualified to perform these services The selection of the contractor was to be based upon their experience, recommended solution, availability and probable cost Following these on-site interviews, the company of Architectural Utilities, Inc (AUI) was selected by the City Plans and specifications were prepared by Poe Engineers, Inc ,and submitted to Architectural Utilities, Inc ,for pricing The base bid totaling 5159,128 00, by Architectural Utilities, Inc , is acceptable to the Park and Recreation Department All such work is to be completed within forty-five (45) calendar days The proposed
