Statement of Issue:
On August 3, 2023, the City received one bid from Beador Construction Company, Inc. ("Beador") for the Admiralty Drive Bridge Rehabilitation Project, CC-1450. However, due to the high bid cost that exceeds the Project's budget, staff recommends rejecting the bid and re-advertising the Project for more competitive bids.
Financial Impact:
The Project budget includes $3,280,000 from the federal Highway Bridge Program (HBP) grant fund and $500,000 from the Infrastructure Fund in Account No. 31440005.82300.
