AGENDA ITEM: Ocean Blvd., 12 and 15 St. Water Main Replacement
Bid No. 1112 -04
SUBMITTED BY: Donna Kaluzniak, CEP, Utility Director a/
DATE: May 18, 2012
BACKGROUND: The City's Water Master Plan recommended an ongoing program to replace
aging and undersized water mains throughout the service area. Old cast -iron and galvanized water
mains can create water quality and pressure problems. The water mains on Ocean Blvd. between 14
and 16 St. and on 15 St. between East Coast Dr. and Beach Ave. are severely deteriorated and
tuberculated and the main on 12 St. from Ocean Blvd. to Beach Ave. is undersized. These mains
were programmed for replacement this fiscal year.
Four contractors prequalified for the project, and bids were received by four contractors on May 2,
2012. Mathematical errors were found in two of the bids during the bid analysis, and Miranda
Contracting, Inc. requested their bid be withdrawn due to the mathematical error. Results after
correction were:

The lowest responsive bid was from Gruhn May, Inc. in the amount of $306,803.63.
BUDGET: A total of $183,182 is available in the Water Fund for this project in account number
400 - 5504 - 533- 63 -00.
Because the previous year's project came in well under budget, this fiscal year's project was designed
with the base bid of Ocean Blvd. and additive alternates for 12" St. (Add. Alt. 1) and 15 St. (Add.
Alts. 2 and 3).

RE: Ocean Blvd 12th & 15t" Streets Water Main Replacement Bid
Dear Ms. Kaluznialq
In reviewing our bid proposal we found we made a math error on the spreadsheet that we used to
calculate the bid spread.
This error is substantial and we would like to respectfully request that our bid be withdrawn.
We regret the error and any inconvenience this may have caused.
Sincerely,
Marcia Tice
