work by walking off the job (Attachment 1). The value of Whiting /Stillwater Concrete
Construction's work was $1,255,000 or 14.8% of the contract value of $8,455,000.
In order to keep the project on schedule, Bobo Construction self - performed the
concrete work until it could find a new concrete subcontractor. On September 2, 2010,
Bobo Construction informed the District that it now seeks Board approval to contract
with McKay and Company Construction for the necessary equipment, materials, and
labor to complete the concrete work (Attachment 2). McKay and Company
Construction will perform all site concrete work including curb and gutter, slabs, and the
specialty permeable concrete work. Timely completion of the site concrete work is
crucial to winterizing the site before the onset of wet weather. McKay and Company
Construction is a local contractor with extensive experience in this type of work.
Under California Public Contract Code, Section 4107, substitution of a listed
subcontractor is permitted only in certain situations, including situations where the
subcontractor fails to perform his contract work, or becomes insolvent or the subject of
an order for relief in bankruptcy. District staff has advised Whiting /Stillwater Concrete
Construction, Inc. of the requirement to notify the District in writing within five (5)
working days of any objection to this proposed action; no objections have been
received. District Legal Counsel has reviewed this issue and concurs with staff.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION: Authorize the substitution of the listed
subcontractor, Whiting /Stillwater Concrete Construction, Inc., with a different
subcontractor, McKay and Company Construction, for the concrete work for the CSOD
Administration, Crew, and Warehouse Facility, District Project 8208.
