BUSINESS SESSION
1. CONSIDERATION TO REJECT ALL BIDS FOR THE TEMPORARY
PARKING LOT AT SILVERROCK RESORT, PROJECT NO. 2007-14.
Council Member Osborne recused himself from' participating on this
item due to a conflict of interest.
Community Services Director Hylton presented the staff report.
In response to Agency Member Adolph, Community Services Director
Hylton confirmed the intention of the property is to provide parking for
the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic and install grass; explained due to the
bid amounts submitted, staff will consider PM 1 0 control as an option.
City Attorney Jensen explained there are no provisions to negotiate a
reasonable price at this stage as the project was publicly bid, the two
lowest bids did no meet specification and the remaining bid was too
high, in response to Agency Member Adolph.
Agency Member Sniff stated all bids could be rejected and offer
another opportunity to bid.
Agency Member Henderson echoed the disappointment of not having
an option to negotiate with contractors, as the second bidder did not
have the C27 certification.
In response to Agency Member Kirk, Community Services Director
Hylton explained the C27 certification is required for all public works
landscape projects. Golf/Park Landscape Manager Howlett confirmed
the project is straight forward in installing the turf and that the lowest
bidder has the experience. City Attorney Jensen explained the Agency
cannot waive the requirement of the C27 certification at this stage, as
the bid documents must specify the alternatives.
Agency Member Sniff stated the proper course of action is to reject all
bids and re-advertise for bids in a short period of time.
