Report
REPORT IN BRIEF
Approval is requested to award a construction contract in the amount of $328,613 to Golden Bay Construction, Inc. of Hayward for the Parks Parking Lot Rehabilitation project. Approval is also requested for a 10% construction contingency in the amount of $32,861.
EXISTING POLICY
Section 1309 of the City Charter requires public works construction contracts to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Further, pursuant to Chapter 2.09 of the Sunnyvale Municipal Code, City Council approval is required for construction contracts exceeding $100,000.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW
The California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination for the project is a categorical exemption pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c) for rehabilitation of existing streets involving negligible or no expansion of the existing use.
BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION
The six parks, De Anza Park, Las Palmas Park, Murphy Park, Ponderosa Park, Raynor Park, and Washington Park parking lots are asphalt with approximately 20-30% fatigue cracking and uneven pavement surfaces that do not appear to have adequate drainage. Additionally, the parking lots contain concrete island curbs that are broken and existing curb ramps that do not meet current ADA standards.
The construction project was advertised for competitive bidding on December 15, 2017. Eight contractors requested bid documents and sealed bids were opened on January 10, 2018, with four bids received. The bid summary is contained in Attachment No. 1. The lowest responsive and responsible bid was received from Golden Bay Construction, Inc.
FISCAL IMPACT
Budget funds are available in Capital Project 828290, Parks Parking Lot Rehabilitation.
Funding Source
This project is funded in the Infrastructure Renovation and Replacement Fund by Park Dedication Fees.

Public contact was made by posting the Council agenda on the City's official-notice bulletin board outside City Hall, at the Sunnyvale Senior Center, Community Center and Department of Public Safety; and by making the agenda and report available at the Sunnyvale Public Library, the Office of the City Clerk and on the City's website.
RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
1) Making a finding of a categorical exemption from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15301(c) for rehabilitation of existing streets; 2) Award a contract in substantially the same form as Attachment 2 to the report in the amount of $328,613 to Golden Bay Construction, Inc. and authorize the City Manager to execute the contract when all necessary conditions have been met; and 3) Approve a 10% construction contingency in the amount of $32,861.
