Background
The City of Lake Elsinore is performing additional construction rehabilitating t he bathrooms and
kitchens at the Anchor Crisis Stabilization Housing. The significant elements of the rehabilitation
project will include replacing all kitchen cabinets, countertops, sinks, and faucets replacing all
bathroom appliances (sinks & toilets), removing bathtubs, and installing showers. Also, the
construction will include several pet kennels and minor electrical sub-panel updating. The pet
kennels will satisfy grant and state code requirements for providing homeless pet companion
shelters. The constructed kennels will be safe on-site pet containment areas and will preclude the
need for pet indoor/in-room access.
Construction bid documents were prepared, and the project was advertised for bid per the
requirements outlined in the California Public Contract Code. On December 22, 2021, the City
posted on PlanetBids the notice inviting bids. Three bids were received on or before the deadline
of 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, January 5, 2022. These bids were publicly opened, examined, and
declared in City Hall.
Discussion
The contract scope of work includes pricing for all materials, labor, and equipment to complete
the job and deliver the entire site. The contractor has familiarized himself with the site, all details
of the work required, and existing conditions. The contractor has been a going entity for at least
three years; produce a valid certificate of liability insurance, which must be on hand before work

begins. All work will be permitted and inspected through the City of La ke Elsinore Building
Department. The below general requirements represent the required work:
General Requirements:
Demolition Minor Framing
Cabinets Counter Tops w/back splash
Sinks Faucets
Toilets Bathroom Sinks
Showers Paint
Electrical Sub-Panels Pet Kennels
The notice inviting bids produced three bid submittals, and below are the biding companies and
amounts for each submission:
Name of Company Bid Amount
Corner Key Stone Construction Company $197,700.00
Endresen Development $380,000.00
RS Construction & Development $440,320.00
Corner Key Stone Construction Company provided a very low bid and, after the bid opening,
realized their bid submittal inadvertently omitted to price for labor. When discovered, the
contractor requested a bid withdrawal. Staff understanding the oversite and honoring the bid
withdrawal, accepted the next lowest bid, Endresen Development, and recommended the contract
award herein. Following the approval of this agenda item, rehabilitation of the Anchor Crisis
Stabilization Housing Facility will begin. Staff has reviewed and verified the contractor has a valid
license and has provided sufficient references.
Fiscal Impact
Anchor Crisis Stabilization Housing Facility Rehabilitation Project is included in the Fiscal Year
22/23 – 27/28 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget.

the manner, and upon the conditions set forth in the Project Documents.
c. Contractor agrees to receive and accept the prices set forth in the Bidder’s Proposal
as full compensation for furnishing all materials, performing all work, and fulfilling all obligations
2
hereunder. Such compensation shall cover all expenses, losses, damages, and consequences arising
out of the nature of work during its progress or prior to its acceptance including those for well and
faithfully completing the work and the whole thereof in the manner and time specified in the Project
Documents; and also including those arising from actions of the elements, unforeseen difficulties or
obstructions encountered in the prosecution of the work, suspension or discontinuance of the work, and
all other unknowns or risks of any description connected with the work.
3. Completion of Work.
a. Contractor shall perform all work within Seventy-Five (75) working days from the date
of commencement specified in the Notice to Proceed and shall complete all work within Seventy-Five

c. Contractor shall not be excused with respect to the failure to so comply by any act or
omission of the City, the Director of Public Works, the City Engineer, a City inspector, or a representative
of any of them, unless such act or omission actually prevents the Contractor from fully complying with
the requirements of the Project Documents, and unless the Contractor protests at the time of such
alleged prevention that the act or omission is preventing the Contractor from fully complying with the
Project Documents. Such protest shall not be effective unless reduced to writing and filed with the City

4. Changes to Work. City and Contractor agree that the City may make changes to the work, or
suspend the work, and no matter how many changes, such changes or suspensions are within the
contemplation of the Contractor and City and will not be a basis for a compensable delay claim against
the City nor be the basis for a liquidated damage claims against the Contractor.

City and the Contractor, stating their agreement to the following:
a. The scope of the change in the work;
b. The amount of the adjustment to the contract price; and

omissions of Contractor or its employees, subcontractors, or agents, by acts for which they could be
held strictly liable, or by the quality or character of their work. The foregoing obligation of Contractor
shall not apply when (1) the injury, loss of life, damage to property, or violation

26. Prevailing Wages.
a. Contractor and all subcontractors shall adhere to the general prevailing rate of per
diem wages as determined and as published by the State Director of the Department of Industrial
Relations pursuant to Labor Code Sections 1770, 1773, and 1773.2. Copies of these rates and the latest
revisions thereto are on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City of Lake Elsinore and are available
for review upon request.
b. Contractor’s attention is directed to the provisions of Labor Code Sections 1774, 1775,
1776, 1777.5 and 1777.6. Contractor shall comply with the provisions of these Sections. The statutory
provisions for penalties for failure to comply with the State’s wage and the hours laws will be enforced.
c. Labor Code Sections 1774 and 1775 require the Contractor and all subcontractors to
pay not less than the prevailing wage rates to all workmen employed in the execution of the contract
and specify forfeitures and penalties for failure to do so. The minimum wages to be paid are those
determined by the State Director of the Department of Industrial Relations. Labor Code Section 1776
requires the Contractor and all subcontractors to keep accurate payroll records, specifies the contents
thereof, their inspection and duplication procedures and certain notices required of the Contractor
pertaining to their location. The statutory penalties for failure to pay prevailing wages will be enforced. If
the Project has been awarded to Contractor on or after April 1, 2015, Contractor and its subcontractors
must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor Commissioner. Beginning January 1, 2016,
Contractor and its subcontractors must furnish electronic certified payroll records to the Labor
Commissioner without regard to when the Project was awarded to Contractor.
d. Labor Code Section 1777.5 requires Contractor or subcontractor employing
tradesmen in any apprenticeable occupation to apply to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee nearest the
site of the public works project, which administers the apprenticeship program in that trade for a
certificate of approval. The certificate will also fix the ratio of apprentices to journeymen to be used in
the performance of the Agreement. The Contractor is required to make contributions to funds established
for the administration of apprenticeship programs if the Contractor employs registered apprentices or
journeymen in any apprenticeable trade and if other contractors on the public works site are making
such contributions. Information relative to apprenticeship standards, contributions, wage schedules and
other requirements may be obtained from the State Director of Industrial Relations or from the Division
of Apprenticeship Standards. Labor Code Section 1777.6 provides that it shall be unlawful to refuse to
accept otherwise qualified employees as registered apprentices solely on the grounds of race, religious
creed, color, national origin, ancestry, sex, or age.
