CONSIDER AWARD OF A CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT TO MARINA LANDSCAPE, INC. FOR PROJECT NO. 1735 - CIVIC CENTER TURF RENOVATION

Body
I. SUMMARY

Like all cities in California, Carson is required to comply with state law which requires public agencies to reduce water use for landscaping. The City Council approved Project No. 1735 - Civic Center Turf Renovation in the FY 2022-2023 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) budget. On December 1, 2022, staff advertised the plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E) for the project, which include the removal and replacement of most of the ornamental grass around City Hall and Community Center and replaces it with attractive drought tolerant plant materials; the project also includes irrigation installation as well as layout of new pathways and seating areas.
This project is partly funded with grants from California Water Service (CalWater) and West Basin Municipal Water District (WBMWD). In response to the Invitation for Bids (IFB No. 22-043), the City received one bid, from Marina Landscape, Inc., in the amount of $1,617,311.50, and it was determined to be a responsive bid.
