The low bid submitted by Tucker Construction is 24 percent over the Engineer's Estimate.  A review of the individual bid items revealed that the contractor’s prices for the historic renovation site work and various items were generally higher than the Engineer’s Estimate.  Given the particular requirements of historic renovation and the generally known high-water conditions of the Alviso area affecting site work, the bid is considered acceptable for the work involved in the project.
