existing structures and facilities where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity as the structure replaced. In this case, the project is renovating the existing meeting room with tenant improvements. Old Meadows Park Playground Improvement Project For the Board consideration and approval, District staff believes the Old Meadows Park Playground Improvement Project qualifies for a Class 3 Categorical Exemption, pursuant to Section 15303 of the CEQA Guidelines. Class 3 exemptions include construction of limited numbers of new, small facilities or structures. In this case, the project is completing the final phase expansion of an existing playground. DISCUSSION As the projects are located at the same facility and were ready for bidding at the same time, in order to provide a more effective and efficient bidding process, as well to limit construction disturbance to the use of the center and playground in the same time frame, these two park improvement projects (Old Meadows Park Meeting Room Renovation and Playground Improvement Project) were combined into one package. A Notice Inviting Bids was advertised in the Ventura County Star, Construction Bidboard, Inc., Builder's Notebook, Ventura County Contractor's Association, Inc., and posted on the District website. Thirteen interested bidders attended the mandatory pre-bid meeting held at the site on Tuesday, February 218t. Four bids were received and were opened at 10:30 a.m. on Tuesday, March 14th. Vendor (A) Meeting Room (B) Playground (A+B) Renovation _ Improvement Base Bid Kiwitts General Building Contractors EJS Construction Ardalan Construction United Construction $336,000 $319,000 $212,000 $292,000 $235,000 $234,900 $279,000 $655,000 $604,000 $514,000 $313,100 $548,000 The low bid received from EJS Construction meets all the required specifications but contains the irregularity of not providing a signed checklist; staff recommends the irregularity be waived as it is minor: all documents requested on the checklist were provided and the checklist was merely a `cover' sheet; it does not affect EJS Construction's Total Base Bid; it does not affect their ability to do the work. Recommendation for award is based on the base bid. EJS Construction is a qualified Contractor, with a B contractor license, and they have performed projects of similar size and scope.
