MEMORANDUM ICASAI~RUS NQIHlt TO: Board of Commissioners FROM: Jonathan B. Marshall, Planning Services Director SUBJECT: Corban Avenue Parking Facility DATE: February 9, 1999 Cc: Frank W. Clifton, ]r., County Manager The bid compilation sheets for the Corban Avenue Parking Facility are attached. The lowest responsible base bid is by KIP Corporation, and any combination of alternates also results in their bid being lowest. I would recommend, if you choose to accept their bid, that you include all three alternates. Alternates 1 and 2 add a drip irrigation system for the landscaping and electrical services for that irrigation and outdoor events, respectively. The third alternate is a reduction through the elimination of a brick planter wall that is replaced by vinyl fencing. With all three alternates the total KIP Corporation bid is $291,034.05. The Concord Downtown Development Corporation (CDDC) has also suggested another method to construct this parking facility. It would require that all bids be rejected, and that the facility be constructed through the CDDC. The City of Concord lot on Church Street was rebuilt through an arrangement with CDDC whereby they acted as owner with Steve Osborne of the City of ConCOrd as contractor. Through this arrangement bids were not required, some of the work was performed by public staff, and substantial savings were achieved. The CDDC is proposing that we employ a similar arrangement. Steve Osborne is currently preparing a cost estimate for the project should you choose to do it through CDDC. He is attempting to have that estimate prepared by your meeting on February 15th. I will be present at the meeting to answer any questions that you may have and will request that Trish LeDuc with CDDC and Steve Osborne with the City of Concord be present also.
