RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
REJECTING ALL BIDS FOR THE MARSTEN STORMWATER PUMP STATION
REHABILITATION PROJECT, CITY PROJECT NO. 82460
WHEREAS, pursuant to due and legal notice published in the manner provided
by law inviting sealed bids or proposals for the Marsten Stormwater Pump Station Rehabilitation
Project, the City Clerk did publicly open, examine, and declare all sealed bids or proposals for
doing said work; and
WHEREAS, Anderson Pacific Engineering Construction, the low bidder, submitted a bid
amount of $6,497,480, 20% higher than the engineer's estimate of $5,400,000; and
WHEREAS, upon review by the Department, it was determined that the higher bid prices
were due to the complexities of the contract specifications, the close proximity of the work site to
high voltage PG&E power lines and towers and the small, somewhat restrained project site; and
WHEREAS, Public Works staff and the City's project design engineer have determined
that revisions to the plans and specification may alleviate some of these concerns and allow for
bids more in line with the engineer's estimate; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to section 20166 of the California Public Contracts Code, the
awarding authority has the sole discretion to reject all bids without any stated reason;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF TILE CITY OF BURLINGAME
RESOLVES AS FOLLOWS:
1. All bids received for the MARSTEN STORMWATER PUMP STATION
REHABILITATION PROJECT, CITY PROJECT NO. 82460 are hereby rejected.
2. The Director of Public Works is hereby authorized to rebid this project forthwith and is
hereby authorized to take any and all such actions and make changes as may be necessary to
accomplish the purpose of this Resolution. �
