ORANGE COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT Meeting Date: January 18, 2000 Action Agenda Item No. ~_ SUBJECT: Bid Award: Replace Roof at Jail and Government Services Center Annex (GSCA) DEPARTMENT: Purchasing & Central Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y/N) No ATTACHMENT(S): Bid Tabulation INFORMATION CONTACT: Pam Jones extension 2652 TELEPHONE NUMBERS: Hillsborough 732-8181 Chapel Hill 968-4501 Durham 688-7331 Mebane 336-227-2031 PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Owens Roofing Company, Raleigh for roof replacement at the Orange County Jail and the Government Services Center Annex (GSCA). BACKGROUND: These projects are being carried out pursuant to the replacement scheduled developed by CTL, Inc. last year. Plans and specifications were prepared by CTL, Inc. Six bidders responded to the request for bids, which were opened on January 5, 2000. The apparent low bidder, CJ Deans Roofing Company, did not submit the required Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation form. Pursuant to the County's MBE participation goal requirements, the bidder MUST show good faith effort in pursuing MBE participation. (For roof work, contractors may find MBE participation primarily through suppliers.) The form submitted with the bid is evidence of that good faith effort. Based on staff assessment and verification from the Institute of Govemment, the absence of good faith effort is grounds for rejection of the bid from Deans. All other bidders submitted the required form. The scope of work included in this solicitation and the corresponding amount recommended for award is as follows: Base Bid: Replacement of Jail roof $ 119,261 Altemate 1: Replacement of low slope roof at GSCA $ 9,684 Alternate 2: Replacement of shingle roof at GSCA $ 17,485 Total recommended award: $146,430 CTL has reviewed the bids, has confirmed compliance with the specifications and has recommended award to Owens Roofing Company.
