No <br /> ATTACHMENT(S): INFORMATION CONTACT: <br /> PAM JONES, ext. 2650 <br /> Bid Tabulation <br /> Telephone Number- <br /> Hillsborough 732-8181 <br /> Chapel Hill 967-9251 <br /> Mebane 227-2031 <br /> Durham 688-7331 <br /> PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid and awarding a contract to Blythe Construction, <br /> Inc. for paving to be done at the Public Works Facility. <br /> BACKGROUND: The construction project for the Public Works Maintenance Facility <br /> included funds for the access road as well as some parking lots to be paved. Bids for <br /> this work were solicited for April 17, 1997 with only two bidders responding. Since the <br /> Statutes require three bidders for an advertised sealed bid, advertisements were placed <br /> again for the re-bid to occur on April 29, 1997. This call yielded three bidders, with the <br /> lowest bid being submitted by Blythe Construction, Inc. <br /> The specifications were written around a number of alternates to allow for acceptance <br /> of the bid in the event the quoted price was unmanageable from a budgetary <br /> perspective. An explanation of the base bid and alternates is as follows. A plan sheet <br /> is attached to facilitate interpretation of the alternates: <br /> • Base bid includes paving of the access road from Highway 88N to a point just north <br /> of the turn off to the fueling island, around the fueling island, and around the <br /> maintenance facility itself. <br /> • Alternate #1 includes paving of all of the areas mentioned in the Base Bid and <br /> completes the paving of the access road just north of the turn off for the fueling <br /> island to the maintenance facility. <br /> • Alternate #2 completes all of the work mentioned in Base Bid and Alternate #1 <br /> above, and paves one parking lot adjacent to the Maintenance Facility, one parking <br /> lot adjacent to the Public Works Administration Building and the access road <br /> leading from the Maintenance Facility to the Public Works Administration Building. <br /> • Alternate#3 completes all of the work mentioned in Base Bid, Alternates#1 and #2 <br /> as well as paves the one remaining parking lot to the south of the maintenance <br /> facility. <br />
