BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Alley Rehabilitation Project consists of three (3) Capital Improvement Projects. These projects will rehabilitate the alley west of Flower Avenue between Date Street and Imperial Highway (PN 7319); the alley west of Sycamore Avenue between Elm Street and Date Street (PN 7320); and the alley west of Walnut Avenue between Acacia Street and Fir Street (PN 7321). The existing pavement has exceeded its service life and is in poor condition. The selection of these alleys for rehabilitation is based on the ranking in accordance with the City's Pavement Management Plan (PMP). Due to similar type of work, combining these projects will result in more competitive bids and will save time in project administration.
 
Final Plans and Specifications ("Bid Documents") were advertised for bids on the CIPlist.com website and subsequently published in the Star Progress paper in accordance with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting (CUPCCA). A copy of the Bid Documents are available in the City Clerk's office for review. There was one addendum to the Plans and Specifications, which provided clarification regarding the bid opening process and other miscellaneous modifications to the Specifications. Therefore, staff recommends City Council approve the final Plans and Specifications with Addendum No. 1 as bid.    
 
On June 1, 2020, staff received a total of nine bid proposals. Staff then tabulated the bid proposals and determined that the apparent low bid amount was $458,507.50 from R.J. Noble Company from Orange, California.   
 
Below are the results of the nine bids received:
