COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. David St. Pierre, Executive Director
Title
Authorization to amend Board Order of July 7, 2016, regarding Authority to advertise Contract 16-605-21, Installation of a Drainage Tile and Bioreactors at the Prairie Plan in Fulton County, Estimated cost $150,000.00, Account 201-50000-645690, Requisition 1414640, Agenda Item No. 16, File No. 16-0654
Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board Meeting of July 7, 2016, the Board of Commissioners duly authorized the above stated action, Agenda Item No. 16, File No. 16-0654.
The contract was advertised for bid on August 31, 2016, and again on March 29, 2017. 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 limited availability of bidders and 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 July 7, 2016, be amended to effect the change set forth above, otherwise to remain in force and effect as heretofore enacted.
Requested, John P. Murray, Director of Maintenance and Operations, BAP:SO’C:MAG
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 February 15, 2018
