<br />ORANGE COUNTY <br />BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS <br />ACTION AGENDA ITEM ABSTRACT <br />Meeting Date: January 18, 2000 <br />Action Agenda <br />Item No. <br />SUBJECT: Bid Award: Replace Roof at Jail and Government Services Center Annex GSCA <br />DEPARTMENT: Purchasing & Central Services PUBLIC HEARING: (Y1N) No <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />Bid Tabulation <br />INFORMATION CONTACT: <br />Pam Jones extension 2652 <br />TELEPHONE NUMBERS: <br />Hillsborough 732-8181 <br />Chapel Hill 968-4501 <br />Durham 688-7331 <br />Mebane 336-227-2031 <br />PURPOSE: To consider awarding a bid to Owens Roofing Company, Raleigh for roof replacement at <br />the Orange County Jail and the Government Services Center Annex (GSCA). <br />BACKGROUND: These projects are being carried out pursuant to the replacement scheduled <br />developed by CTL, Inc. last year. <br />Plans and specifications were prepared by CTL, Inc. Six bidders responded to the request for bids, <br />which were opened on January 5, 2000. <br />The apparent low bidder, CJ Deans Roofing Company, did not submit the required Minority Business <br />Enterprise (MBE) participation form. Pursuant to the County's MBE participation goal requirements, the <br />bidder MUST show good faith effort in pursuing MBE participation. (For roof work, contractors may find <br />MBE participation primarily through suppliers.) The form submitted with the bid is evidence of that good <br />faith effort. Based on staff assessment and verification from the Institute of Government, the absence of <br />good faith effort is grounds for rejection of the bid from Deans. All other bidders submitted the required <br />form. <br />The scope of work included in this solicitation and the corresponding amount recommended for award is <br />as follows: <br />Base Bid: Replacement of Jail roof $ 119,261 <br />Alternate 1: Replacement of low slope roof at GSCA $ 9,684 <br />Alternate 2: Replacement of shingle roof at GSCA $ 17,485 <br />Total recommended award: $146,430 <br />CTL has reviewed the bids, has confirmed compliance with the specifications and has recommended <br />award to Owens Roofing Company.
