Oxnard staff recommends $4.38 million neighborhood resurfacing contract with Toro Enterprises
Summary
Project manager Tamara Ojeda told the Oxnard City Council staff recommends awarding a $3,653,989 construction agreement to Toro Enterprises and authorizing $4,384,787 in total project funds, including 10% contingency and 10% for engineering. The transcript records the recommendation but not a council vote.
Tamara Ojeda, project manager for public project agreement 32700065, told the Oxnard City Council that city staff recommends the council "approve and authorize the following items," including a total project funding authorization of $4,384,787 and a construction agreement with Toro Enterprises in the amount of $3,653,989.
Ojeda outlined three specific recommendations for council action: authorize $4,384,787 in project funds; have the mayor execute an agreement with Toro Enterprises for $3,653,989 and approve a project contingency of $365,399; and approve a project allocation of $365,399 for engineering inspection, survey and project management. She said procurement staff reviewed the low bidder’s documentation and "based upon the available information and research performed to date, staff believes that the contractor is capable of satisfactorily completing the project." The transcript includes alternate spellings of the contractor name in places ("Touro" and "Turo"); staff consistently referred to the bidder as Toro Enterprises in the recommendation.
Ojeda listed the bids received: Toro Enterprises $3,653,989; Onyx Paving Company $3,737,000; and Granite Construction Company $4,876,693.30, and stated that Toro was the lowest responsive bidder. The staff recommendation included an additional authorization of $730,798 (two amounts equal to 10% of contract cost) to cover contingency and engineering services, bringing the staff-estimated total to $4,384,787.
The presentation in the transcript records staff’s recommendation but does not record a motion on the council floor or a vote. The formal award and final authorization would require council action at the meeting; that outcome is not specified in the provided transcript.
