Bid Tabulation <br /> PURPOSE: To award a contract for the construction of the Lake Orange Erosion Control Barrier <br /> Replacement Project. <br /> BACKGROUND: In July 2020, the County Manager approved a consulting services contract with <br /> the qualified engineering consulting firm, Alpha and Omega Group, PC, for the development of <br /> construction drawings and bid documents for use in competitive bid solicitation and a construction <br /> agreement award for the Lake Orange Erosion Control Barrier Replacement Project (hereafter <br /> "the Project"). In May 2021, the County Manager approved an amendment to the original <br /> consulting services contract with Alpha and Omega Group, PC for additional consulting services <br /> related to Bidding and Award Assistance, Construction Engineering and Inspections, Construction <br /> Materials Testing, and Post Construction Phase services for the Project. <br /> The Project is part of Orange County's current (FY2021-26) Capital Investment Plan (CIP) (see <br /> Attachment 2 for FY2021-26 CIP Summary). The Project scope involves the repair/rehabilitation <br /> of the existing erosion control barrier and emergency spillway approach on the Lake Orange dam <br /> (see Attachment 3 for a display of basic Project scope). In order to commence construction and <br /> help ensure worker safety, the water surface of Lake Orange will be temporarily lowered (i.e. <br /> drawn down) by a maximum of seven (7)feet below normal pool for approximately four(4) months. <br /> On October 29, 2021, Orange County published an informal Advertisement for Bids (Orange <br /> County Bid No. 367-OC 5339) for the Project. On December 3, 2021, Orange County received <br /> two (2) electronic bids from qualified General Contractors (see Attachment 4 for a copy of the Bid <br /> Tabulation for the Project). <br /> The lowest responsible and responsive bidder for the Project as determined by staff is FSC II, <br /> LLC dba Fred Smith Company (hereafter "the Fred Smith Company") of Raleigh, NC.
