RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL
OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
AWARDING CONTRACT FOR FURNISHINGS FOR THE
BURLINGAME PUBLIC LIBRARY TO OP CONTRACT INC. AND
WAIVING MINOR BID IRREGULARITY
CITY PROJECT NO. 9305
RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Burlingame:
WHEREAS, on January 14, 1997, the City publicly advertised the purchase of furnishings
for the City Library, and on February 25, 1997, the City received six sealed bids as called for in the
advertisement; and
WHEREAS, OP Contract Inc. is the apparent, responsible low bidder on the base bid
combined with various alternates that were requested; and
WHEREAS, the bid form submitted by OP Contract contained a misentry on the Bid
Summary for one item regarding the base bid, in that the base bid entry reflected alternates plus base
bid; however, the detailed bid form submitted by OP Contract Inc. specifically noted that the entry
included base bid plus alternates and further identified the actual base bid; and
WHEREAS, this minor misentry does not give OP Contract, Inc. any competitive advantage,
any monetary relief, nor any right to withdraw the bid if it so chose under the Public Contracts Code;
and
WHEREAS, it does not appear that the purchase of drapes for the Library in this contract
is advantageous to the City and that alternate 5 will not be awarded,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that:
1. The City Council hereby waives the minor irregularity of misentry of base bid on the bid
summary by OP Contract Inc.
2. The City Council hereby awards the contract for furnishings for the Burlingame Public
Library [Project No. 93051 to OP Contract Inc. for the base bid, plus alternates 1, 2, 3, and 4
submitted, in the total amount of $323,123.51.
2. The City Manager is directed to execute the agreement with OP Contract Inc. contained
in the award for and on behalf of the City of Burlingame.
