Title

Body

 

Dear Sir:

 

On June 4, 2020, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids, Contract 20-704-21, Rehabilitate One Electric Motor at the O’Brien Water Reclamation Plant.

 

In response to a public advertisement of June 24, 2020, a bid opening was held on July 14, 2020.  The bid tabulation for this contract is:

 

L & S ELECTRIC, INC.                     $202,670.00

LOUIS ALLIS, LLC                     $224,833.00

                    

One hundred thirty-three (133) companies were notified of this contract being advertised and twenty-seven (27) companies requested specifications.

 

L & S Electric, Inc., the lowest responsible bidder, is proposing to perform the contract in accordance with the specifications.  The estimated cost for this contract is $250,000.00, placing their bid of $202,670.00 approximately 18.9 percent below the estimate. 

 

The Multi-Project Labor Agreement was not included in this contract because the work will be performed at the Contractor’s facility.

 

The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D and Appendix V will not be included in this contract because of the limited availability of MBE/WBE/VBE/SBE participates and the specialization of the project. 

 

The contract will require approximately five (5) to ten (10) people for the services.

 

In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to award Contract 20-704-21 to L & S Electric, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $202,670.00.

 

The work under this contract shall begin upon approval of the Contractor’s bond and terminate by December 31, 2020, or upon expenditure of available funds, whichever occurs sooner.

 

Funds are available in Account 201-50000-645700. 

 

Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:cm

Respectfully Submitted, Barbara J. McGowan, Chairman, Committee on Procurement
