Owens Roofing, Inc. of Raleigh, North Carolina <br /> submitted the lowest responsible bid at a turnkey cost of $27,777 (see attached tabulation as well as <br /> letter from Fifth Wall recommending the low bidder). The product bid by Owens is covered by a ten year <br /> manufacturer's warranty. <br /> Work will be scheduled to limit interruptions to the staff at the Link Center. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: Total cost of this action, if approved by the Board, would be $27,777. Sufficient <br /> funds are available within the Capital Investments Roofing Projects account (project 30002) to cover this <br /> expenditure. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends the Board award the bid from Owens Roofing, <br /> Inc. of Raleigh, North Carolina at a total cost of$27,777 and authorize the Chair to sign the agreement <br /> on behalf of the Board.. <br />
