continuous left-turn lane. Bids were received and IPS was the low bidder. However,

projects within the last five months with the City and in both instances, the work was
unorganized and poorly executed. Extra days were required to complete the work as

specified. In staff's opinion, the poor work was due to inattentiveness. The Park
Avenue project is on a critically short time-frame since school begins September 1st.
Therefore, staff recomrnends that the Council reject the bid of IPS and award to the
second low bidder, Granite Construction Co. He noted that the project is $21,000 over
budget with the IPS bid. The Granite bid pushes the project to $39,000 over budget, but
Granite has performed well in the City previously.

work in other cities in addition to private companies and they have performed well.
Nancy Escobedo, representing IPS, advised that she has been with IPS for over eight
years and they have been in business for 13 years in Redlands. They have dealt with
projects from $500 to $2,000,000.00. She advised that the problems they experienced
with the previous City contracts were due to having two key people in the striping
division out for a total of four weeks during that time-frame. She advised that they have
155 employees and will have 10-15 people on this job along with a project manager.
Mayor Pena asked if the work done by IPS in the City previously was done in an
unworkman-like manner and Mr. Speer advised that there was some re-working of the
work, particularly at Highway 111/Washington.
MOTION It was moved by Council Members Sniff/Bangerter to award the contract for
widening of Park Avenue north of Avenue 50 to the low bidder, IPS, Inc. of San
Bernardino in the amount of $59,484.95. Motion carried unanimously with Council
Member Perkins absent. MINUTE ORDER NO.93-1621
