The Napoli Tract Water Improvements, CIP 7458 (“Project”) is programmed within the FY 2020-21 CIP. The Project is located within the Napoli Tract Subdivision located south of Lambert Road and west of Brea Boulevard, which includes Napoli Drive, Delphia Avenue and St. Crispen Avenue (Attachment A). The Project will include the work required for replacement and upgrade of existing water mains and appurtenances, as well as street resurfacing throughout the Tract.
On October 12, 2020, the Final Plans and Specifications (“Bid Documents”) were accepted by staff, and the Project was advertised for bids on the CIPlist.com website and subsequently published in the Star Progress paper on October 29, 2020, 20 days prior to bid opening. A hard copy of the Bid Documents are available at the City Clerk’s office for review. There was one addendum to the Specifications, which changed the non-mandatory pre-bid meeting date from November 3, 2020, at 10:30 am, to October 29, 2020, at 11:30 am, via Zoom. Therefore, staff recommends City Council approve the Plans and Specifications with Addendum No. 1 as bid.

Sully-Milller has been in the construction business for 97 years and has completed construction of similar water and roadway improvement projects for various cities such as the cities of Fullerton, Santa Monica, Riverside, and Brea. Their California Contractor’s license 747612 – A (General Engineering) and Department of Industrial Relations registration number 100003664 has been verified by staff and their bid package has met the City requirements. In addition, staff contacted the cities of Fullerton, Santa Monica, and Riverside, where the contractor has received a favorable review. Additionally, Sully-Miller recently completed the Cliffwood Tract Water Improvement Project (CIP 7461) for Brea, with an overall good performance. Based on the aforementioned bid review, staff has determined Sully-Miller to be a responsive and responsible bidder. Therefore, staff recommends that the City Council consider awarding a Construction Contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, Sully-Miller in the amount of $1,323,100.00 (Attachment C).
