A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF BURLINGAME
REJECTING ALL BIDS RECEIVED FOR THE ELECTRIC VEHICLE CHARGER
INSTALLATION AT THE PUBLIC WORKS CORPORATION YARD
CITY PROJECT NO. 86900
WHEREAS, on May 8, 2025, the City issued notice inviting bid proposals for the Electric
Vehicle Charger Installation at the Public Works Corporation Yard, City Project No. 86900; and
WHEREAS, on June 12, 2025, all proposals were received and opened before the City
Clerk and representatives of the Public Works Department; and
WHEREAS, the City received seven bids ranging from $262,100 to $381,098; and
WHEREAS, the first apparent low bidder voluntarily withdrew their bid due to the omission
of a major equipment cost; the second apparent low bidder failed to meet the minimum
qualification requirements; therefore, the third lowest bidder, Nema Construction, is determined
to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for the project, with a bid amount of $285,900;
and
WHEREAS, Nema Construction subsequently informed City staff that the proposed
electric vehicle charging stations, as described in the project plans and specifications, have been
discontinued by the manufacturer; and
WHEREAS, alternative electric chargers and associated equipment of similar size or
slightly larger power output on PG&E’s pre-approved list for their EV Fleet Program would
increase the project’s cost by $65,000 to $93,000, which would exceed the 15% construction
contingency budget; and
WHEREAS, staff recommends that the City Council reject all bids received for the project
and authorize staff to revise the bid documents and to re-advertise the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it RESOLVED, and it is hereby ORDERED, that all bids for the
above-named project are rejected; all bonds and security received in connection with the bids
received shall be returned to the bidders; and City staff is authorized to update the project
specifications to reflect currently available, PG&E-approved EV charging equipment; and re-
advertise the project in accordance therewith.
