1986-0218_AL LOWRY PAINTING_I2_Agenda Report00 0 0 AGENDA ITEM February 18, 1986 T0: Stephen B. Julian, City Manager FROM: Thomas G. Merrell, Director Community Planning and Development SUBJECT: Award of Contract - Los Rios Paint Program Phase II - Little Hollywood STTTIATTON As part of the Los Rios Housing Rehabilitation program, the Planning Department initiated an exterior paint program using Community Development Block Grant funds. Phase I of the program, completed on January 19, 1986, involved the painting of fourteen privately -owned homes on Los Rios Street. Since Phase II of the program involves publicly -owned houses in the Little Hollywood area of Los Rios, the City's bid process was required. On November 5, 1985, the City Council authorized a call for bids. The only bid submitted by the January 13, 1986 bid opening date was from Al Lowry, the contractor who completed Phase I of the program. Due to the fact that Mr. Lowry made the sole bid, staff considered readvertising for bids. However, after consultation with the County Housing and Community Development office and the City Attorney, it was determined that the bid was acceptable. This determination is based on the quality of Mr. Lowry's work on Phase I and the reasonableness of his bid price. Therefore, pending submission of proper bonding, staff recommends the award of contract to Mr. Lowry in the amount of $18,850. COMMISSION/BOARD REVIEW, RECOMMENDATION Not applicable. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The City, through the use of County Block Grant funds, has budgeted this project in Account #07298 - 85611. ALTERNATE ACTIONS 1.
