Body
Dear Sir:
On February 21, 2019, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 19-654-11, Furnish and Deliver Parts and Repair Services for Sluice Gate Valve Actuators.
In response to a public advertisement of May 8, 2019, a bid opening was held on June 4, 2019. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
CORE MECHANICAL, INC. $627,010.00
Four hundred three (403) companies were notified of this contract being advertised and nineteen (19) companies requested specifications.
A review of the sole bid, submitted by Core Mechanical, Inc., revealed that the bid is approximately 41 percent over the contract estimate and is considered too high for award. Therefore, the bid is rejected in the public’s best interest. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has informed Core Mechanical, Inc., of this action.
The Maintenance and Operations Department will modify the detailed specifications and re-advertise at a later date.
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:cm
Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman Committee on Procurement
