DISCUSSION:
On April 15, 2019, the County of Humboldt entered into a consultant services agreement with Nichols, Melburg & Rossetto, AIA & Associates, Inc. (NMR) to design ADA improvements in the Juvenile Probation Division. The scope of work at the Juvenile Probation Division, located at 2002 Harrison Ave., Eureka, CA, includes the following items: renovation of the existing unisex restroom located on the main level, redesign of the lobby service window, design of an alcove for an accessible high/low drinking fountain on the main level, enlarge one door to the conference room on the main level, redesign handrails on the staircases, redesign the path of travel at the main entrance by replacing the landing at the public door, re-grading the sidewalk in front of the juvenile probation building, and design of an accessible pathway from the sidewalk to the door landing at the public entrance.
On December 16, 2019, your Board authorized the Juvenile Probation Division ADA Modification Project to be advertised for public bid. On January 21, 2020, the county received and opened four (4) responsive bids and the results are as follows:
Contractor: Base Bid:
Lucchesi Builders D.B.A. Pacific Builders - Arcata, California $151,125
Pierson Company - Eureka, California $211,112
Adams Commercial General Contracting, Inc. - Eureka, California $156,370
Sequoia Construction Specialties - Eureka, California $202,800
The general conditions set forth in the project specifications manual require that the project be awarded on the merits of the lowest qualified, responsible and responsive base bid. Staff recommends that your Board award this project to Lucchesi Builders D.B.A. Pacific Builders- Arcata, CA, for the total base bid award amount of $151,125.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Current project expenses combined with the Lucchesi Builders D.B.A. Pacific Builders base bid amount of $151,125, establishes a revised estimated project cost of $189,125. The ADA Compliance budget (3552-152) has budgeted sufficient funds for this project in the current fiscal year.
STRATEGIC FRAMEWORK:
This action supports your Board’s Strategic Framework by fostering transparent, accessible, welcoming and user friendly services and enforces laws and regulations to protect residents.
OTHER AGENCY INVOLVEMENT:
None
ALTERNATIVES TO STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:
Your Board could choose not to approve the recommendations to award the project however, this is not recommended as the county may be subject to fines for non-compliance, as the Juvenile Probation Division is a facility identified by the Department of Justice (DOJ) with ADA barriers.
