AGENDA SUMMARY REPORT
SUBJECT: REJECTION OF BID FOR LAKE MENDOCINO HYDROELECTRIC PLANT
TAINTER VALVE MODIFICATION PROJECT
SUMMARY: The City solicited bids for the modification of the Tainter valve at the Lake
Mendocino Hydroelectric Plant. The modifications are necessary to commence operation of
the plant to generate electricity. The engineer's estimate for this work was $140,000.
After soliciting bids in compliance with the California Uniform Public Construction Cost
Accounting Act, including 14 days advance publication in the newspaper and 30 days notice to
trade journals, the City received only one bid from Richardson Engineering Contracts in
Healdsburg. The bid is for $419,454, or three times the engineering estimate.
Staff recommends rejecting this bid. If the City Council rejects the bid, staff intends to rebid
the project with the notice inviting bids going out Thursday morning, August 17th after the City
Council meeting.
In accordance with Public Contracts Code Section 22038, the bidder was given two days
advance written notice of staff's recommendation to reject all bids.
The staff is requesting this item to be added to the agenda as an urgency measure. The bids
were opened on August 14, 2006, after the agenda was posted. To prevent undue delay in
construction resulting from the time required to rebid, a need exists to reject the bid before the
next scheduled City Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Agendize by a 4/5 vote and reject the bid.
ALTERNATIVE COUNCIL POLICY OPTION: Accept the bid.
