W. Ward Construction CO., Durham - $72,623.00 <br /> Delta Construction Co., Inc., Durham - 82,462.00 <br /> Durham Construction Co., Inc., Durham - 82,700.00 <br /> Security Builders, Chapel Hill - 85,700.00 <br /> George Workman Construction Co. - 98,663.00 <br /> IMPACT: Two problems exist. The first is a budgetary problem as the low • <br /> bid exceeds budget by $16,323 which will require a reduction in <br /> specifications. The second is a bidding problem. North <br /> Carolina general statutes require that separate bids be <br /> solicited for each branch of work (HVAC, general, plumbing, <br /> electrical) when the expenditure is to exceed $50,000.00 <br /> Prior to solicitation of bids, it was estimated by the architect <br /> that the cost of construction - would be less than $50,000. <br /> Consequently, bids were solicited from general contractors only <br /> for all aspects of work. <br /> In that the low bid came. in at $72,623.00. The project must be <br /> re-bid with separate bids solicited for each branch of work. <br />
