PLANNING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ,
Appeal - Planning Commission Review and Approval No. 591 '
+ti On July S, 1988, the City Council considered an appeal to the Planning Commission's $ii�
}tt
4-3 denial of the application for a proposed auto parts store to be located on the ly,,
southwest corner of Alabama Street and Redlands Boulevard, C-M Zone. The hearing `l�
was continued for two weeks so the staff could consider various alternatives to mitigate
the traffic concerns. The Planning Commission also reconsidered the item on July 12, �,,��
1988, and voiced support for, the alternative of providing a traffic island on Alabama
Street to prohibit left turns. Michael Atencio, representative of the developer, has w;
'7 indicated they are willing to pay for the median island. Staff has also contacted the
„41(� manager of the local K-Mart who thought the reciprocal access idea might be helpful
to both entities. Both K-Mart (Regional Office) and the property owner in New Jersey ,I'
� would have to approve a reciprocal access agreement and this might take quite some
time to accomplish. Mayor Beswick declared the meeting open as a continued public
hearing. Representing Redlands Shopping Center Associates, Michael Atencio briefly
addressed Council. The public hearing was declared closed, and Councilmember DeMirjyn
�1moved to reverse the decision of the Planning Commission and approve Commission Review
and Approval No. 591 subject to all departmental recommendations as contained in Planning �((

BIDS
z
Contract:Award Bids were opened and publicly declared on June 23, 1988, by the City Clerk for the
Oriental Avenue Improvement Project: a bid opening report is on file in the Office of
Oriental Avenue the City Clerk. 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.

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

CFCs Products further information about the use of plastics and styrofoam products in our markets
and fast--food businesses noting even products made without CFCs are still causing .
V. problems in the landfills because they are not: degradable. Councilmember Cunningham
moved to adopt Resolution No. 4405, a resolution of the City Council of the City of
Redlands concerning the elimination of chlorofluorocarbons and the responsible use
r of plastics. 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. He did not: feel there was enough information
ig
available yet to make this decision. Mayor Beswick noted there has been much discussion
regarding this matter at the Air Quality Management meetings. The, resolution was
not adopted by the following roll call vote:
