Reject all bids for the construction of the Parton Street Sewer Main Improvements.
DISCUSSION
This project involves the replacement of an old, deteriorated, and undersized sewer main located
under Parton Street between 10th Street and Washington Avenue (Exhibit 1). The improvements
include the installation of a new sewer main, laterals, manholes, and appurtenances. Once
completed, repairs related to the age and condition of this sewer main will be eliminated, and the
chance of future sewer overflows will be significantly reduced by the increased capacity.
On November 13, 2012, the City received a total of seven bids. Although six Santa Ana based
contractors were invited to bid, no bids were submitted by them.

Rejection of Bids for

Of the seven bids received, the top five failed to submit required certifications and references, thus
resulting in their bids being determined non-responsive. Upon review of our construction and bid
documents, staff concluded that the certifications and references requirement in the Notice Inviting
Bids was ambiguous and unclear. Therefore, staff recommends the rejection of all bids to ensure
that there is a uniform and fair process in the bidding and procurement of construction contracts.
Staff will amend the bid package following Council action, preserving the intent of the design, and
will rebid the project.
