WHEREAS, the Danville Town Council has previously appropriated funding for the
Railroad Avenue Improvements Project, CIP No. C-405, in the adopted Capital
Improvement Program; and
WHEREAS, a construction contract for the project was awarded on July 15, 2014,
according to Resolution No. 57-2014, and said contract was subsequently terminated on
November 17,2014; and
WHEREAS, the Danville Town Council authorized an emergency storm drain repair
pursuant to California Public Contract Code Sections 20168 and 22050 on
December 9, 2014, according to Resolution No. 89-2014; and
WHEREAS, the project was redesigned so bids could again be solicited from
contractors; and
WHEREAS, the redesign effort was accomplished under a Professional Services
Agreement with Carlson, Barbee & Gibson, Inc., (CBG) as authorized by Resolution
Nos. 103-2012 and 34-2014; and
WHEREAS, CBG has requested an amendment to the Professional Services Agreement
to increase the design contract by $15,200; and
WHEREAS, the redesigned plans and specifications for the proposed work have been
reviewed and approved by the City Engineer; and
WHEREAS, the City Clerk of this Town did, in open session on the 20th day of January,
2015, publicly open and read aloud the sealed bids received as required by law; and
WHEREAS, the lowest responsive bidder is GradeTech Inc. of San Ramon, California,
at $1,269,872.65; and
WHEREAS, the Town received a bid protest from the second lowest bidder, Ghilotti
Construction Company of Santa Rosa, California, asserting that the GradeTech bid
failed to properly disclose work to be performed by subcontractors as required by the
bid documents and Public Contract Code §4104; and
WHEREAS, the City Attorney determined that GradeTech's omission was an
inconsequential variance which afforded them no advantage or benefit, and therefore
recommends awarding a construction contract for the project to GradeTech Inc.; and

Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) according to Guidelines Section 15301 (Class 1);

therewith, and the City Clerk is hereby directed to attest same and affix thereto the

Gibson, Inc., and increase the design contract by $15,200 for the necessary redesign
work; and, be it further
