Its personnel were temporarily relocated to the Public Works City Maintenance Yard on North Angeleno Avenue. Upon the completion of the West Wing renovations, it was determined that the renovated office space would be utilized by the Community Improvement, Economic Development and Code Enforcement Divisions and that the Engineering Division personnel would be relocated to Suite 2B of the Azusa Light and Water (ALW) building located at 729 N Azusa Ave. However, Suite 2B has been vacant for several years and needs substantial improvements to make it a suitable working space for City personnel and the general public. In addition, the relocation of the Engineering Division will enhance the synergy between the Engineering and Azusa Light and Water Divisions to coordinate capital improvement projects. RECOMMENDATION: It is recommended that the City Council take the following actions: 1)Award a not-to-exceed contract in the amount of $107,000 ($97,275 contract amount + 10% contingency for change orders) to RS Construction and Development, Inc. for the remodeling of Suite 2B in the Azusa Light and Water building; and 2) Authorize the City Manager to execute a contract, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, on behalf of the City. APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 7/19/2021 ALW Suite 2B Tenant Improvements July 19, 2021 Page 2 ANALYSIS: The proposed project will remodel Suite 2B of the Azusa Light and Water building and will create the necessary office space to accommodate the Engineering Division’s personnel, a total of 7 employees. In addition, the tenant improvements will allow the Engineering Division to grow by 2 people without further office space improvements. Informal bids were received pursuant to AMC Section 2-532 Informal Bidding Procedures. Results are as follows: No. Company Location Total Bid 1 RS Construction & Development Inc. Ontario, CA $97,275 2 WF Construction Inc. La Verne, CA $140,256 3 Chalmers Construction Services Inc. La Cresenta, CA $150,937.50 The lowest, responsive bid was submitted by RS Construction and Development, Inc., a general contractor construction company which has completed projects of similar scope in several Southern California cities including the Azusa Light and Water lobby and 1st floor offices. ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE: This action is categorically exempt from the requirements of the California Environmentally Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15301 Existing facilities. FISCAL IMPACT: The recommended actions award a contract to RS Construction & Development Inc. in the amount of $97,275 and further authorizes staff to amend the contract up to 10% or $9,725 for a total not-to-exceed amount of $107,000. The project will be funded with Engineering and Facilities General Funds (Fund 10), Sewer Funds (Fund 34), and Gas Tax Funds (Fund 12).
