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. Reject the bid and readvertise the project.
2. Award the contract.
3. Refer the item to staff for further study.
