DISCUSSION:
The property at 7714 Tamarind Ave was acquired by the City’s Housing Department on February 1, 2022. The property consists of a single-family home that is intended to be a temporary emergency shelter. The City has completed the interior rehabilitation of the home for phase one of the project and is now moving onto phase two which will consist of constructing an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU) on the property.
On February 2nd, 2023, the Invitation to Bidders was sent out to one hundred thirty-seven (137) vendors and it closed on February 23rd, 2023 at 2:00 p.m. There were twenty-four (24) downloads and a total of four (4) valid bids were received ranging from $260,707.02 to $308,850.00. Lancet Contracting Inc submitted the apparent lowest responsive bid in the amount of $273,000.00. The lowest bid was disqualified since it did not meet all bid requirements. The Inspector/Engineer estimated the total rehabilitation cost for this rehabilitation to be $370,000.00.
After reviewing the proposed bid documents and performing the license and certification checks, Housing and Purchasing staff have determined Lancet Contracting Inc to be the lowest responsible and responsive bidder.
