Body
Dear Sir:
On September 18, 2025, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 25-102-11, Boat Maintenance, Repairs, and Parts for the PC100 Boat.
In response to a public advertisement of October 29, 2025, a bid opening was held on November 18, 2025. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
MARINE SERVICES CORPORATION $83,600.00
The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has reviewed the bidders’ list for this contract and is satisfied that the market for this service has been adequately solicited. A planholders’ survey revealed the following reason for not bidding: cannot meet requirements. In light of these findings, the Director of Procurement and Materials Management is of the opinion that the bid received is a fair and reasonable price, and nothing would be gained by rejecting the sole bid and re-advertising this contract.
Marine Services Corporation, the sole bidder, is proposing to perform the contract in accordance with the specifications. The estimated cost for this contract was $84,600.00, placing their bid of $83,600.00 approximately 1.2% below the engineer’s estimate.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) was not included in this contract because the classification of work does not fall within the provisions of the MPLA.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance, Revised Appendix D is not included in this contract because the estimate is less than the minimum threshold established by Section 4 of the Affirmative Action Ordinance.
The contract will expire on December 31, 2027.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order for Contract 25-102-11 to Marine Services Corporation, in an amount not to exceed $83,600.00.
No bid deposit was required for this contract.
Funds for the 2026 expenditure, in the amount of $41,800.00, are being requested in Account 101-16000-612790. The estimated expenditure for 2027 is $41,800.00. Funds for the 2026 and 2027 expenditures are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the District’s budget for those years.
