Over the last several years, the National City Fire Department has acquired several
apparatuses. These acquisitions have been great additions to the NCFD. However, due
to limited space to house the reserve status units, they are stored outside on the
training ground. As a result, the reserve units are exposed to the climate and may
deteriorate.
On May 1, 2012, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-94 authorizing the
appropriation of Development Impact Fees to purchase and install a protective shelter
to be installed at Fire Department Station 34 at 16th Street and D Avenue. The
installation of the shade structure will house reserve status apparatuses and to ensure
longevity.
On September 25, 2012, four bids were received and opened for the National City
protective Shade Structure Specification No. 12-11. The lowest responsive bidder was
Zasueta Contracting, Inc. with a proposed bid amount of $69,714.00.
Staff checked the provided references and found that Zasueta Contracting, Inc. was
qualified to perform the work as detailed in the specification.
On October 16, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2012-204 awarding the
contract to Zasueta Contracting, Inc. in the not to exceed amount of $69,714 to provide
and install a protective shade structure for Fire Department Station No. 34, authorizing
a 15°Io contingency in the amount of $10,457 for any unforeseen changes, and
authorizing the Mayor to execute said contract.
The Notice to Proceed with construction was issued on November 12, 2012. There was
one change order issued for this project to install an additional drop down canopy. This
change order increased the contract by $6,478.00. The final contract balance was
adjusted to $76,192.00.
The Notice of Completion was issued on May 8, 2013, and filed with the San Diego
County Recorder's Office on May 28, 2013.
Staff recommends that the City Council accept the work performed by Zasueta
Contracting, Inc., for a total contract amount of $76,192.00, ratify the Notice of
Completion filed with the County Recorder on May 28, 2013, and authorize the release
of the retention in the amount of $3,809.60 for the National City Shade Structure for
Fire Department Station No. 34, located at 16th Street and D Avenue.
