Title
Report on rejection of bids for Contract 15-711-21, Process Control Building Restoration at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant, estimated cost $525,000.00
Body
Dear Sir:
On July 9, 2015, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 15-711-21, Process Control Building Restoration at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant.
In response to a public advertisement of September 9, 2015, a bid opening was held on October 6, 2015. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
RESTORE MASONRY LLC $495,925.00
Seven hundred sixty-two (762) companies were notified of this contract being advertised and thirty-seven (37) companies requested specifications.
A review of the bid submitted by Restore Masonry LLC revealed that the bid exceeded the supplier exception amount allowable in accordance with Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D, Section 11 (1). As a result, the bid is deficient for the overall WBE goal. Therefore, the bid is considered non-responsive and rejected in the public’s best interest. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has informed Restore Masonry LLC of this action.
This contract will be re-advertised.
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:cm
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
