COMMITTEE ON PROCUREMENT
Mr. John P. Murray, Acting Executive Director
Title
Authorization to Amend Board Order of November 16, 2017, for Authority to advertise Contract 18-618-11 Specialized Repairs for Large Motors, estimated cost $90,000.00, Accounts 101-67000/68000/69000-612600/612650/623070, Requisitions 1476787, 1476788 and 1476789, Agenda Item No. 9, File No. 17-1169
Body
Dear Sir:
At the Board Meeting of November 16, 2017, the Board of Commissioners duly authorized the above stated action, Agenda Item No. 9, File No. 17-1169.
The contract was first advertised as 18-618-11 and bid on February 27, 2018, and no bids were received. The contract was readvertised as 18-618-12, and bid on April 24, 2018, which did not yield an acceptable bid. Upon further consideration, it was determined that the Multi-Project Labor agreement 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 fifth paragraph in the body of the letter that begins with the words “The Multi-Project Labor Agreement…” in its entirety, and that the letter be revised to state “The Multi-Project Labor Agreement will not be included in this contract because these specialized services are performed by highly-skilled technicians and trades specially trained and required to perform the work.”
All other information provided in the transmittal is correct.
Therefore, it is requested that the aforesaid Board Order of November 16, 2017, be amended to effect the change set forth above, otherwise to remain in force and effect as heretofore enacted.
Requested, Brett A. Garelli, Acting 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 June 21, 2018
