Pedersen Steve Scroggs, Assistant Superintendent Superintendent for Support Services William J. Mullin, Director of Facilities Management MEMORANDUM TO: Steve Scroggs FROM: Bill Mullin SUBJECT: Elementary School #9 Construction Bids DATE: February 15, 2002 On February 7, 2002, bids were opened for the construction of Elementary School #9. The project received excellent participation from contractors. Competitive bids were received from ten general contractors, six plumbing contractors, eight mechanical companies, eight electric companies, and five companies that bid on the fire protection sprinkler system. State law permits projects of this scope to be bid as a single and multi prime project and Elementary School #9 was bid in both formats. The bid documents were prepared with alternates. This structure offers flexibility in awarding contracts within the project budget and provides a mechanism for selecting desired upgrades. Additionally, alternates identify the cost associated with speck aspects of work. The attached Bid Tabulation prepared by the architects lists each contractor's submitted costs. The low single prime contractor bid submitted by The Resolute Building Co. in the amount of$10,830,000 is recommended. Accepting 12 of the 14 alternates is also recommended. Alternate #2, specifying a contractor to perform door and hardware work, is not recommended due to cost. Alternate#10, an ice storage system, does not meet the life cycle cost analysis criteria established prior to the bid and is not economically viable. The total cost of the recommended bid with 12 altemates is $10,921,250 and is within budget.
