Council awards City Hall restroom renovation contract using CDBG funds after bid concerns
Summary
Roseville approved a bid award to Quadrate Construction LLC for City Hall restroom renovations funded primarily with federal CDBG funds and supplemental bond and capital funds after staff and a consultant raised concerns about the low bidder's references and performance.
The Roseville City Council on May 27 voted to award the City Hall restroom renovation contract (AEW project number 0100-0569) to Quadrate Construction LLC, following staff and consultant recommendations and questions about the low bidder's past performance.
City staff said the project will be paid mostly with Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, supplemented by bond money and other capital funds. A consultant, Scott Lockwood, addressed the council and said the second bidder, Quadrate, had performed satisfactorily on multiple city projects and that the low bidder "has not performed well." Lockwood said, "we just suggest you'd be... much more... chances of success if you go with our recommendation of Quadrate."
Council members asked whether the renovated restrooms would meet the Americans with Disabilities Act standards. A project representative said none of the City Hall restrooms were currently up to ADA standards because the building has not been renovated since its original design; the consultant confirmed they will be made ADA-compliant as part of the renovation.
Council action and funding: A motion to award the bid to Quadrate Construction carried on a voice vote. The council record indicates the majority of project funds will come from CDBG, with remaining costs covered by bond and other capital funds; exact dollar amounts were not specified on the record.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with contracting and oversee construction; the meeting record did not specify a construction start date or timeline.
Ending: Council approved the award after the consultant's recommendation and brief council questions about accessibility and contractor performance.
