SUBJECT` LAGUNA . LAKE GOLF COURSE HOLE No. 3 RELOCATION,
SPECIFICATION No. 90657
CAO RECOMMENDATIONS:
1. Award a contract to Brough Construction in the amount of$95,295 for construction of the
Laguna Lake Golf Course Hole No. 3 Relocation, Specification No. 90657.
2. Approve the transfer of$5,295 from the Completed Projects account to the project account.
DISCUSSION
On July 17, 2007, the City Council authorized staff to advertise for bids for the relocation work
and improvements of Hole No. 3 at Laguna Lake Golf Course. Three bids were submitted and
opened on September 13, 2007 with Brough Construction of Arroyo Grande being the low bidder
at $95,295. This bid amount'is $5,295 over the Engineer's Estimate of$90,000 which represents
less than 6% of the construction cost. The bid results are as shown below:
Engineer's Estimate $90,000
Brough Construction 95,295
Gecko Golf Construction 129,300
John Madonna Construction 133,630
As a requirement for this project the Contractor had to provide at least three references of
installation of golf course landscaping or modifications in order to be considered for award of the
contract. When contacted, all three references for Brough Construction gave high praise for their
performance and landscaping experience but indicated they had not done any golf course
landscaping work. Brough Construction was contacted and admitted they had not performed any
golf course work but were very confident in their ability to perform the contract work for Hole
No. 3.
Staff recommends waiving the golf course landscaping experience requirement and awarding the
contract to Brough Construction. All three of their references indicated that Brough Construction
had done landscaping work of complexity similar to golf course landscaping in an efficient and
timely manner, and expressed confidence in their ability to perform this work. Waiving the
experience requirement does not affect the Contractor's bid amount and does not give them an
unfair advantage over the other bidders.

CONCURRENCES
This project has the approval of the Parks & Recreation and Public Works Departments.
FISCAL IMPACT
This project is identified in the 2005 —07 Financial Plan Supplement, pages E39—E44.
Engineer's Construction Estimate: $90,000 Construction Bid: $95,295
Construction Contingency: 9,000 Construction Contingency: 9,000
TOTAL: $99,000 TOTAL: $104,295
Currently, the Completed Projects Account has $8,323 in funds, a sufficient amount to transfer
$5,295 to the project account.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Award the project to the second-lowest bidder. Gecko Golf Construction specializes in golf
course landscaping and has a multitude of experience in constructing portions of and entire golf
courses. Awarding the contract to Gecko would require additional funding of $39,300 plus
$4,000 to maintain a ten percent construction contingency for a total of$43,300.
2. Reject all bids. This is not recommended as it will delay construction until next year and
costs may increase, resulting in an even more expensive project.
