DISCUSSION
The McFadden Triangle is a triangular-shaped undeveloped dirt lot adjacent to the Santa Ana
River Recreational Trail north of McFadden Avenue (Exhibit 1). The Santa Ana River Vision Plan,
which was adopted by the City Council on August 7, 2006, identified this property as an area of
opportunity in that it could be developed into a trail-side rest area for pedestrians and cyclists. The
proposed project includes decomposed granite paths, benches, bike racks, drought-tolerant
landscaping, sycamore trees, and an irrigation system. Add-on Alternate Two provides for
recycling receptacles, river rock bollards, and a dry streambed. The improvements will provide a
space for trail users to rest as well as view the existing habitat area.
The notice inviting bids was advertised on August 24 and 25, 2011, and bids were opened on
September 8, 2011. A summary of the bid invitations mailed, the bids received, and the bid results
follows.

While the City made outreach efforts to Santa Ana contractors regarding the notice inviting bids, no
contractors from Santa Ana submitted bids. A survey was taken from randomly selected Santa
Ana contractors who chose not to bid. The results indicated that they either were not capable of
performing this type of work, were unable to obtain insurance because the project was too large, or
they worked as a subcontractor to certain prime contractors.
The bids received are as follows.

documents require that the lowest responsible bidder be selected based on the lowest base bid.
