Title
Report on rejection of bids for Contract 17-606-31, Furnish, Deliver and Install Telemetry Replacement for SCADA Control at Various Locations, estimated cost $545,000.00
Body
Dear Sir:
On August 2, 2018, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 17-606-31, Furnish, Deliver and Install Telemetry Replacement for SCADA Control at Various Locations.
In response to a public advertisement of October 31, 2018, a bid opening was held on November 27, 2018. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
WUNDERLICH-MALEC SERVICES, INC. $1,175,000.00
The sole bid, received by Wunderlich-Malec Services, Inc., is approximately 115% over the District’s cost estimate and is considered too high for an award. Therefore, this contract is rejected in the public’s best interest. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has informed Wunderlich-Malec Services, Inc., of this action.
The Maintenance and Operations Department will review their cost estimate for this contract prior to re advertising.
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:cm
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 January 10, 2019
