<br /> estimates. The detailed review and evaluation considers only the two apparent low bidders
<br /> -Florida Design Drilling Corp. and E&D Contracting Services—since the remaining bids were
<br /> significantly higher in cost, and are not competitive with the two low bidders
<br /> Base Bid:
<br /> 1. Florida Design Drilling Corp.: The low bid, as read aloud at the bid opening, was Florida
<br /> Design Drilling Corp. with a base bid amount of$ 281,000.00. However, the actual base bid
<br /> amount adjusted to meet the base bid requirements of the contract documents was$345,204.00.
<br /> In addition, an $8000 bid item cost for a construction Bond will need to be added to the base bid.
<br /> Total adjusted base bid is: $ 353,204.00
<br /> Total unadjusted base bid (unadjusted, with stop log assembly substitute, and Tnemec coating):
<br /> $353,204.00—64,204.00 = $ 289,000.00
<br /> Explanation: This bid was submitted with an Affidavit of Compliance Form, noting exceptions to
<br /> two material specifications—the coating system(Tnemec)and the stop log assemblies(Plastifab).
<br /> Also, the bidder did not follow instructions in Addendum no. 2. In the Addendum, the bidder was
<br /> instructed to include within its base bid, a price for the plan specified Coplastix Stop log assembly,
<br /> and then fill out on the additional form provided"Alternate Stop Log Assembly Product""(p.00300-
<br /> 8), any alternate stop log assembly it would like IRC to consider as an equal substitute, and list
<br /> on this form the cost differential (deduct from the base bid)this substitution would cause. Instead
<br /> of following-the instructions, the bidder included in its base bid the proposed substitute-stop-log
<br /> assembly (manuf - "Plastifab"); and filled out the form as an add to the base bid if the plan
<br /> specified stop log assembly were provided. (On February 17, via a telephone conversation, we
<br /> confirmed this with Jeff Holst, VP of the Florida Design Drilling Corp.). Consequently, if an
<br /> adjustment to the base bid is made which includes the plan specified stop log assembly, the bid
<br /> amount would increase by $64,204.00, to a total of$345,204.00 (plus the bond cost).
<br /> 2. E&D Contracting Services:The second lowest bid, as read aloud at the bid opening,was E&D
<br /> Contracting Services with a base bid amount of $ 298,316.00. In addition, an $1800 bid item
<br /> cost for a construction bond will need to be added to the base bid.
<br /> Total adjusted bid is: $300,116.00, and is the apparent lowest adjusted base bid.
<br /> Explanation: This bid amount appears to have met the base bid requirements of the contract
<br /> documents.
<br /> Add Alternate Bid:
<br /> -The bid form provided for two add alternates. These were for: 1, concrete deck top rehabilitation,
<br /> and 2. exterior wall repair and paint.
<br /> -The.bids_can be.looked at several,ways: A. base.bid plus add_alt.1; B. bate_bid plus add_ alt. 2;
<br /> or C. base bid plus add alt. 1 and 2.
<br /> A. Base bid plus add alt.1:
<br /> -Florida Design Drilling: $353,204.00 + $24,000 = $377,204.00
<br /> -E&D Contracting Services: $300,116.00 + $18,000.00 = $318,116.00 (lowest bid)
<br /> B. Base bid plus add alt.2:
<br /> -Florida Design Drilling: $353,204.00 + $31,000 = $384,204.00
<br /> -E&D Contracting Services- $300,116.00 + $12,540.00 = $312,656.00 (lowest bid)
<br /> C. Base bid plus add alt.1 and 2:
<br /> -Florida Design Drilling: $353,204.00 + $24,000 + $31,000 = $408,204.00
<br /> -E&D Contracting Services: $300,116.00 + + $18,000 + $12,540.00 = $330,656.00
