Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to amend Board Order of March 3, 2016, regarding Authority to advertise Contract 16-673-11 Heavy Equipment Repairs at Various Locations, estimated cost $632,440.00, Account 101-66000-612760, Requisitions 1407147 and 1404751, Agenda Item No. 15, File No. 16-0195
Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board Meeting of March 3, 2016, the Board of Commissioners duly authorized the above stated action, Agenda Item No. 15, File No. 16-0195.
The contract was advertised for bid on May 4, 2016, and again on June 22, 2016. Both advertisements yielded no acceptable bids. Upon further consideration, it was determined that the Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D should be removed from any subsequent readvertisement of the contract.
It is hereby recommended that the Board of Commissioners authorize the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to delete the sixth paragraph in the body of the letter that begins with the words “The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D will be included…” in its entirety, and that the letter be revised to state “The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D will not be included in this contract because of the specialized nature of the work involved.”
All other information provided in the transmittal is correct.
Therefore, it is requested that the aforesaid Board Order of March 3, 2016, be amended to effect the change set forth above, otherwise to remain in force and effect as heretofore enacted.
Requested, John P. Murray, Acting Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO’C:MAG:sg
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
Disposition of this agenda item will be documented in the official Regular Board Meeting Minutes of the Board of Commissioners for August 4, 2016
