Mr. Speer, Ass't. City Engineer, advised that the Park Avenue widening project is proposed to widen the street from its current 32-foot width to 40-feet and install a continuous left-turn lane. Bids were received and IPS was the low bidder. However, it's difficult to say they're a responsible bidder as they've had two traffic striping 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 BIB] 01-22-96-U01 04:59:51PM-U01 CCMIN072693-U02 City Council Minutes 8 July 26, 1993 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. In response to Council Member Mccartney, Mr. Speer advised that IPS has performed 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.

CONSIDERATION OF A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS FOR AB939 IMPLEMENTATION CONSULTING SERVICES. Council Member McCartney advised that he would be abstaining due to a conflict of interest and left the dais.

The three cities will utilize the same consultant to economize consultant time and resources which will lower the cost for each City. Each City will contract separately with the same consultant firm.
