City Engineer Mutter explained the bid submitted by Larry Jacinto Construction Company is the lowest bid. However, based on the staff's evaluation of the bids it has been determined that two proposals did not comply with all the requirements of the specifications. The standard specifications (Galtrans) for this project require that the contractor shall perform, with his own organization, contract work amounting � P g to not less than 50 percent of the original total contract price. The analysis of the bid submitted by Larry Jacinto Construction, Inc. shows that the prime contract:or's t work will equal 26.7 percent and the sub-contractors' work will equal 73.3 percent. The second bidder is Inland Constructors who proposes to complete 64.4 percent of the contract. Inland Constructors is a reputable contractor, having; previously workedRow! for the City. Staff recommends that the contract for the Oriental Avenue Improvement Project be awarded to Inland Constructors of Loma Linda, the lowest bidder meeting all bid requirements. Councilmember Johnson stated he understood the requirement, but in this instance Jacinto has a track record which is good, so he felt we could waive the requirement. City Attorney Holmes recommended Council reject these bids and tre-advertise, Larry Jacinto addressed Council and indicated there was a paragraph it, in the specifications that states the City Council has the right to waive any requirement. h Council tabled this matter to allow staff to obtain a copy of the specifications from City Hall. Following "Unfinished Business" items, Council brought this item back from the table for further discussion. Councilmember Johnson noted he did not have any concern, about the other bidders and their track record, but moved to find that the 50 percent contractor work requirement is of no public benefit in this situation, and that the defect in the Jacinto bid of less than 50 percent is hereby waived, and that award of j: the contract for the Oriental Avenue Improvement Project be made to the lowest responsible bidder, Larry Jacinto Construction Company, Mentone, in the amount of $328,842.85. Motion seconded by Councilmember DeMirjyn and carried by AYE votes of all present. MR UNFINISHED BUSINESS Resolution Community Services Director Rodriguez reminded Council that in 1986 the United States Nri, 440,5 unilaterally banned the use of chloraflurocarbons (CFCs) chemical in aerosol propellant ic because of CFCs deplete our ozone layer.

V. problems in the landfills because they are not: degradable.

The motion was seconded by Councilmember Beswick. James A. Hammond, a retired chomist, asked Council to reconsider this motion as he felt this resolution was based on misinformation. He noted that paper products create more pollution through the pulp process, cause more trees to be chopped down cause gases in our r landfills, and pollute underground water.
