HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem No.84 y CITY OF LASE ELSINORE REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Ron Molendyk, City Manager DATE: September 28, 1993 SUBJECT: REJECTION OF BIDS FOR THE SUMMERHILL DRIVE WALKWAY (DEL PIZZOLI TO PONTE RUSSO) BACKGROUND Staff has received requests from some of the residents of Tuscany Hills for a sidewalk along Summerhill ",Drive from Del Pizzoli to Ponte Russo so that school children would not have to walk in the roadway on their way to Tuscany Hills Elementary School. Homestead Homes, a developer of the Tuscany Hills Specific Plan Area, was unable to complete the installation of concrete sidewalk for their project because of financial difficulties. However, the construction of the sidewalk remains a condition for the development of the approved residential subdivision. SUMMARY On July 26, 1993, four bids were received for construction of a temporary asphalt sidewalk from Del' Pizzoli to Ponte Russo. Redlands Pacific General Engineering Contractors was the low bidder with a -bid proposal of $14,444.00, as follows: Redlands Pacific General Engineering Contractors $ 14,444.00 NPG Corporation 14,693.00 Atkinson Grading & Equipment Rental 16,690.00 Inland Asphalt and Coatings 68,935.00 The engineer's estimate prepared by staff was $15,000.00. DISCUSSION The City Council held discussions regarding award of contract for the project at the Council Meeting on August 10, 1993. Primary concern expressed was the benefit gained versus the amount of funds expended and the proposed source of funding. A representative of the developer (Homestead Homes) advised City Council at the Council meeting on September 14, 1993, that the parkway area behind the existing curb'�and gutter along Summerhill Drive within the proposed project site has been graded and leveled. This grading has provided an interim walkway area for safe access to the school. FISCAL IMPACT None Reject all bids. Accept the graded walkway area as the interim means of access to Tuscany Hills Elementary School until such time as the installation of concrete sidewalk by the developer is completed.
