The following item was removed from the Consent Calendar for further discussion, at the request of
Member Cohen.
REPORT ON RE -BID OPENING AND RESOLUTION AWARDING CONTRACT TO JERSEY
CONSTRUCTORS, INC., FOR PARKSIDE CHILDCARE CENTER, (PROJECT NO. 919-9013-708-
8000) (BID OPENING HELD ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2000) (PW) — File (SRCC) 4-1-521 x R-140
#8 x (SRCC) 9-3-65 x 9-3-66
Member Cohen stated a letter was received this evening on this issue (from Russell Nobles
Construction, Inc., low bidder) and requested an update, noting this was the second time this project
had been bid and there were still problems.
David Bernardi, Public Works Director, stated the low bidder had made the same mistake as the bidders
in the first bid, listing sub -contractors who were unlicensed. He confirmed having made it abundantly
clear in the bid package for the rebidding of the project, by highlighting in three separate places in the
specifications, the changes required to ensure the contractors knew exactly what to do. Mr. Bernardi
stated it was discussed with the low bidder who admitted they had made mistakes. They submitted a
letter this evening agreeing not to protest the award of contract to the second low bidder, subject to
return of their bid bond. It was recommended that the contract be awarded to the second low bidder,
Jersey Constructors, Inc.
Member Cohen asked for further clarification and Mr. Bernardi reiterated that the low bidder agreed not
to protest or pursue the award of contract to the second low bidder, provided their bid bond was
returned, admitting they had made some mistakes in their bid.
Agency Attorney Ragghianti stated that the language Mr. Bernardi was referring to was on page 4, first
paragraph, of the letter, which followed a telephone call today. It was agreed this letter should be put
into the record.
Member Cohen moved and Member Miller seconded, to adopt the Resolution.

162-172 Belvedere with BRIDGE Housing. On the Consent Calendar, an Overcrowding Standard was
approved for this kind of project and this Subordination Agreement will put the Loan in third place behind
Westamerica and Marin Community Foundation. To update the project, she stated they will get notices out to
the tenants this week regarding the availability of a relocation plan, sign documents this week, fund and close
escrow next week and in November, the relocation plan will come up again, having been notified to the public

AGENCY MEMBER REPORTS:
6. a) REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL SIGNING RE PLAYING FIELDS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT AT
PICKLEWEED PARK —File R-140 #8 x (SRCC) 4-1-523
Member Miller noted that today work began at the fields at Pickleweed Park and wondered if this
project will be signed to let people know we are working with the community. Ms. Mackle replied that
there will be a sign, presently in fabrication, which will be ready in a couple of weeks. Member Miller
suggested that this sign should be in three languages and perhaps it would be possible to get a
temporary sign erected for the Day of the Dead celebration. Ms. Mackle stated she would work on
these requests.
There being no further business, the San Rafael Redevelopment Agency meeting was adjourned at 7:45 PM.
