Bids for the City Hall Expansion & Renovation were received and opened on February
9, 1995. Eleven contractors submitted bids for the project. Listed below are the
contractors name, amount of the bid and number of days to complete the new
construction:
CONTRACTOR TOTAL BID NUMBER OF DAYS
1. R. C. Small & Assoc. $2,440,000 360
2. Steele Freeman $2,442,000 360
3. Coronado Builders $2,460,523 365
4. Walker Building Corp. $2,500,000 180
5. Pete Durant & Assoc. $2,501,600 360
6. Diversified Construction $2,524,000 365
7. Component Construction $2,579,000 365
8. Sedalco, Inc. $2,621,000 300
9. Sam Binion & Assoc. $2,699,155 436
10. Westland Construction $2,711,200 360
'-- 11. Ed A. Wilson, Inc. $2,712,000 365
Since all bids were over budget and since all bids except #4 by Walker Building Corp. were
based on completion dates that were longer than desired or practical from the City's
standpoint, Council rejected all bids except the #4 bid in the amount of $2,500,000 with
180 completion days by Walker Building Corp. The motion also stated that if the bid
cannot be brought within the budget by change order without sacrificing the days of
completion, then all bids would be rejected. If the bid can be so adjusted within the budget
without sacrificing completion days, the Mayor is authorized to enter into a contract with
the said #4 bidder.
Staff was contacted by all of the bidders lower than Walker Building Corp. about the
proposed award of a contract. These entities were given a hearing before the Assistant
City Manager and were apprised of the proposal to be made to Walker Building Corp. to

bring the bid under budget. The purpose of those hearing (as defined by the Local
'- Government Code) was to establish the solvency or financial responsibility of these lower
bidders. It appears that all three qualify as responsible based on their past performance,
bonding agencies and reputation for successfully completing projects.
After the hearings the attorney is convinced that there is no tarnish on any of the three low
bidders that would justify giving the bid to the fourth lowest bidder.
The low bidder on the base bid and the overall bid was R C. Small & Assoc. In order to
bring the project in under budget, staff is recommending awarding the bid to R C. Small &
Assoc, for the base bid amount of $2,060,000.00 with Alternate # 1 in the amount of
$140,000.00 and rejecting alternates # 2,3, and 4. Alternate # 3 (audio/visual) would be
rebid after the contract is let since the bid amount submitted by all bidders for this alternate
was almost twice what was projected by the audio/video consultant. Alternate # 2(brick
fence) would be handled as a separate project in conjunction with the City Hall Plaza
concept proposed by the Mayor at the February 27, 1995 meeting. Alternate # 4
(upgrading existing parking lot lighting) would be totally eliminated.
By awarding the contract as proposed and rebidding alternate # 3, staff believes that the
overall project will be under budget without sacrificing the scope of the project. RC. Small
& Assoc. has agreed to this proposal.
.,--. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council award the contract to the
low bidder (RC. Small & Assoc.) for $2,200,000.00. This amount is the Base Bid and
Alternate Bid #1. The rebid of Alternate Bid #2 (audio/visual) will be handled by change
order through the contractor after the bid is awarded.
