Report on rejection of bids for Contract 16-708-21, Repair and Rehabilitation of the Gloria Alitto Majewski Reservoir and Kirie Water Reclamation Plant, estimated cost $1,200,000.00
Body
Dear Sir:
On June 6, 2019, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 16-708-21, Repair and Rehabilitation of the Gloria Alitto Majewski Reservoir and Kirie Water Reclamation Plant.
On August 8, 2019, authorization to amend the Board Order of June 6, 2019 was approved by the Board of Commissioners.
In response to a public advertisement of August 21, 2019, a bid opening was held on October 1, 2019. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
DUNNET BAY CONSTRUCTION COMPANY $2,184,500.00
IHC CONSTRUCTION COMPANIES, L.L.C. $2,544,000.00
A review of the bids, submitted by Dunnet Bay Construction Company and IHC Construction Companies, L.L.C., revealed that the bids are approximately 82 percent and 112 percent over the District’s estimate and considered too high for award. Therefore, all bids are rejected in the public’s best interest. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has informed Dunnet Bay Construction Company and IHC Construction Companies, L.L.C., of this action.
The Maintenance and Operations (M&O) Department will review and revise the contract document prior to re-advertisement by reducing the scope of work and cost estimate for this contract.
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:cm
