PURPOSE: To reject all bids received and authorize staff to rebid for the construction of the
Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste Convenience Center.
BACKGROUND: On March 28, 2012 Orange County advertised Bid Number 367 -283 for the
construction of the Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste Convenience Center. A prebid
conference was held on April 11th with County Staff and the Engineering firm of HDR
Engineering, Inc., with HDR taking the lead as design engineer. Eleven contractors attended
this meeting. Sealed bids were received by Orange County on April 25, 2012 with four (4)
companies submitting bids for the project. Attached is a tabulation of the bid results.
Both the low bidder and second low bidder have asked to withdraw their bids due to significant
omissions in their base bids. If the Board rejects all bids, staff will re- solicit bids over the
Board's summer break and will present that bid to the Board for award at the August 21, 2012
regular meeting. A peer review by a third party engineering firm of the bid documents will be
completed prior to rebidding to both insure accuracy of the documents and lessen the chance
for any confusion on the part of the contractors bidding the project.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no financial impact associated with rejecting all submitted bids,
but there will be a delay for projected opening of the redesigned facility until early winter of this
year. The engineers' project estimate is $1,249,767.
RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board reject all bids for Bid
Number 367 -283 for the construction of the Walnut Grove Church Road Solid Waste
Convenience Center and authorize staff to rebid the project and present a recommended bid to
the Board for award at the August 21, 2012 regular Board meeting.
