<br />ALTERNATIVES AND ANALYSIS
<br />The following alternatives are presented
<br />Alternative No. 1
<br />Bid Item No. 1 - Architectural Site Work - No bidders responded with a bid,
<br />however, the bidder for Bid item No. 2, Fire Escape, Barry's Ornamental, has agreed
<br />to do the work for $ 6,200. This can be accomplished with a Change Order in the
<br />Amount of $ 6,200.
<br />Bid Item No. 2 - Fire Escape - Award the bid to the low bidder, Barry's
<br />Ornamental Iron Works, for $2,719. The bidder has qualified his bid as "not
<br />including tax".
<br />Bid Item No. 3 - Security Fencing - Award the bid to AlA Construction Services,
<br />Inc., the only bidder; in the amount of $19,400. The County would waive the for-
<br />mality of the Bid bond and performance bond, both of which were required by the
<br />Contract documents. The performance bond is not required since the Contract does
<br />not exceed $25,000.
<br />Bid Item No. 4 - Mechanical - HVAC - Award the Contract to the low bidder,
<br />Indian River Cooling, for Bid items 4A,4C,4D, and 4F in the amount of $22,101. The
<br />County would waive the following formatities:
<br />1) The bidder submitted two bids whereas the Contract Documents specifically
<br />stated that "only one bid from any,firm, partnership, or corporation, under
<br />the same or different names, will'be considered".
<br />2) The bidder did not submit a bid bond.
<br />3) The bidder did not submit a performance bond, however, no bidder did do
<br />so properly, and since the work is below $25,000., Florida Statutes does
<br />not require it.
<br />The County can also purchase a Service Contract with General Electric for
<br />$95/ton, amounting to $ 3 325. This will cover all parts and labor for five (5)
<br />years. The regular manufacture warrantee covers the compresser and condenser for
<br />five (5) years and all parts and labor for one (1) year.
<br />Bid Item No. 5 - Electrical - Award the Contract to White Electric for items
<br />5A,5B,5D, 5E, and 5F in the amount of $21, 78,,00 Also, approve at the time the
<br />Contracts are executed a Change Order in the amount of $ 1,160 for miscellaneous
<br />necessary electrical work.
<br />Alternative No. 2
<br />Readvertise the call for bids and delete all performance bond requirements.
<br />It is not felt that this will be productive, since it appears that no bidders
<br />properly bid performance bonds.
