Council concurred to adjourned to Closed Session at 7:05 p.m. regarding legal matters on the Swick Park Bid. Council reconvened at 7:18 p.m. Mr. Unsworth announced the Council has consulted the City Attorney regarding the awarding of the Swick Park Bids. Mr. Unsworth asked if anyone from the audience would like to speak to the awarding of the Swick Park Bid. Schedules B & C will be awarded. Ray Brody, Creative Lighting, Anaheim, submitted a bid on the electrical portion of the bid only. Mr. Brody stated one of his men questioned the apparent low bid be- 'o' cause it did not list any sub - contractors on the sub - contracting portion of the bid. Mr. Brody asked that the specification be enforced on the listing of sub - contractors on bid documents. Mr. Brody stated the low bidder does have a General Engineering License which on certain types of work, public parks being one of them, allows them to do electrical work, if the City chooses to issue the permits. It was Mr. Brody's understanding that the low bidder will be putting an electrical contractor on their payroll to do the work. Mr. Buckley, State Contractors Board, stated that for an individual who was C -10 licensed to go to work for another firm and work as an em- ployee of the firm, he would have to inactivate his license, cease any and all work he has in progress, that was permitted work, and let go any employees he would have employed at the time. Mr. Porter stated he has very carefully gone through the law and has formed a legal opinion that the procedures the low contractor proposes to use brings them within the qualifications to be awarded the contract if the Council chooses. The Electrical Contractor working as an employee, will really have to be an employee of the firm. The City Engineer has researched the reputation of the low bidder (Allied Sprinkler) and the reputation of the people they intend to hire and considering all things, the City Engineer feels they are a responsible bidder. It was therefore the recommendation of staff that Allied Sprinkler be awarded the bid. Mike McDonaldson, Alcorn Fence stated the low bidder bid the project under a license number C -27, which is not an "A" License and stated the bid is non - responsive Mr. Rubel stated the low bidder did list a "C" license, however the number does No correspond with the "A" license. Mr. Porter stated the Bid did show a 'C'license, however if it is a form rather than a substance problem, it does not concern staff too much. We have confirmed that Allied does have an "A" license. Don Acoch., Allied Sprinkler, stated he does have an A and a C license. Mr. Accch stated the reason he did not list a sub - contractor was because he was putting the person on the payroll. The reason for putting the person on the payroll was frc^1 an overhead standpoint. Page two Adjourned, Adjourned City Council Meeting November 29, 1982 Paul Shay, Shay Electric, stated he would like the City to obtain certified copies of the payroll records for the job to insure he is truly on the payroll and insure also he is not using his "C" license on other jobs. Mr. Brody stated he contacted some electrical suppliers and was told that Bolt Electric was checking on prices for this job. If Bolt Electric is not working the job, why were they verifying prices under the name of Bolt Electric. Dave Vic, Lake Elsinore, stated if the City has the option to do the work in- house, they should and keep all the work local. Mr. Porter stated a General Law City of this size can not do the work in- house for this size of a project.
