BID AWARD - SMITH ELECTRIC SUPPLY - AUDIBLE PEDESTRIAN SIGNALS - CC-444
The City Clerk presented bids for the installation of audible pedestrian signals
at intersections surrounding Golden West College and Huntington Center.
The City Administrator informed Council that rather than reject the bid he would
recommend that the bid be awarded to Smith Electric as there are sufficient additional
funds available in the Housing and Community Development Programs to offset the
$1,360 overrun. He stated that readvertisement could result in a higher bid price
as well as delay in time. The bids submitted were as follows:
Smith Electric Supply $ 27,360
William R. Hahn 31,320
Paul Gardner Corporation 40,392
A motion was made by Pattinson, seconded by Bailey, to approve the recommendation
of the City Administrator, award the contract for the installation of audible pedes-
trian signals at intersections surrounding Golden West College and Huntington
Center to Smith Electric Supply, Stanton, California, for a bid amount of $27,360,
making up the difference through reprogramming Housing and Community Development
Program funds; hold all other bids until Smith Electric Supply has executed the con-
tract for said work and filed the necessary bonds and insurance and directed the
City Clerk to notify the unsuccessful bidders of the action and return their bid
bonds forthwith. The motion carried by the following roll call vote:
AYES: Pattinson, MacAllister, Bailey, Yoder, Finley
