Title
Report on rejection of bids for Contract 22-902-22 (Re-Bid), Influent Gate Demolition at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant, estimated cost $739,000.00
Body
Dear Sir:
On June 16, 2022, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 22-902-21, Influent Gate Demolition at the Stickney Water Reclamation Plant.
In response to a public advertisement of August 24, 2022, a bid opening was held on September 20, 2022. No bids were received.
In response to a public re-advertisement of April 5, 2023, a bid opening was held on May 2, 2023. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
INDEPENDENT MECHANICAL INDUSTRIES, INC. $1,700,000.00
The sole bid submitted by Independent Mechanical Industries, Inc. is approximately 230% over the estimate and is considered too high to award.
Therefore, the sole bid is rejected in the publics’ best interest. The Director of Procurement and Materials Management has notified Independent Mechanical Industries, Inc. of this action.
The Maintenance and Operations Department will review the contract document and re-advertise in the near future.
Recommended, Darlene A. LoCascio, Director of Procurement and Materials Management, DAL:SEB:bn
