Re: Resolution 17-26 – Accepting the Lowest and Best Bid for the Northern Historic
Dublin Infrastructure Improvements (Riverview Village) Project (25-029-CIP)
Summary
On March 25, 2025, three (3) bids were received and publicly opened for the Northern Historic
Dublin Infrastructure Improvements (Riverview Village) Project, 25-029-CIP (Project). This Project
includes approximately 2,100 feet of road reconstruction and adds pedestrian facilities. The work
includes installing asphalt pavement, on-street parking, brick sidewalks and crosswalks, granite
curbs, curb ramps, storm sewer improvements, street lighting and landscaping. The project area is
shown on the Location Map at the end of this memo.
The 2026 budgeted funds for this Project in the 2026-2030 Capital Improvements Program (CIP),
are $9,700,000 from finance project number ST24C02, Northern Historic Dublin Area Infrastructure
Improvements (Riverview Village). The engineer’s estimate for this Project is $8,600,000.
Complete General Construction submitted the lowest and best bid in the amount of $9,802,387.56,
which is approximately 14% higher than the engineer’s estimate. An internal review of the bid items
indicates that the increase is likely attributable to several factors, including the project site’s
proximity to bedrock, the relatively constrained project area and workspace, the use of high-quality
aesthetic materials and finishes, and ongoing uncertainty in fuel costs.
Given the close alignment among the bids received, staff believes the submitted pricing reflects
current market conditions and the true cost of construction. Based on these factors, it is not
anticipated that re-bidding the project would yield significantly lower pricing and impact the Project’s
timeline considerably. Additionally, there is a risk that some or all of the current bidders may elect
not to participate in re-bidding of the Project, which could further reduce competition and potentially
result in higher costs. A summary of the bids received is provided below.

This project will require close coordination with ongoing utility relocations and adjacent private
development activities. Each project will interface differently based on construction timing and the
contractor’s sequencing of work. Accordingly, the Contractor will be required to maintain daily
communication with the City to ensure that any changes to planned activities are promptly
conveyed, using the best available information, to all contractors and stakeholders with a vested
interest in the project.
The typical and customary communication methods will be used to convey construction information
to adjacent property owners, residents and motorists throughout the duration of this work. The
contractor will provide notification to the City a minimum of 14 (fourteen) calendar days prior to the
work being performed. Portable changeable message signs will be used to notify the public of the
upcoming work and any associated lane or road closures. The City has a Consultant (Quality Control
performing the construction administration and inspection of the Project who will work closely with
the City in coordinating and communicating the work on the Project. This Consultant will be
available to answer questions, manage access, and monitor the maintenance of traffic operations
throughout the Project duration.
Recommendation
Staff has thoroughly reviewed the bid submitted by Complete General Construction Company.
Previous experience with Complete General Construction Company has been favorable including
their work on the Hyland Croy Road Improvements Project (22-029-CIP), Muirfield Drive at Sells Mill

012-CIP).
Staff recommends Council approve Resolution 17-26 accepting as lowest and best the bid of
Complete General Construction Company in the amount of $9,802,387.56 and authorizing the City
Manager to enter into a contract with Complete General Construction for this Project.
