Baird SUBJECT: IRC BID #302 -Bahia Sod & St. Augustine <br />Director, Budget Office Sod <br />(Annual Bid) <br />--FROM: _�'��-�.,�1\�o-- zC� c.G <br />REFERENCES. <br />CarolynGoodrich, Manager <br />Purchasing Department <br />1. Description and Conditions <br />Bids were received Thursday, August 28, 1986 at 11:00 A.M. for <br />IRC #302 -Bahia Sod and St. Augustine Sod for the Road S Bridge <br />Department. <br />13 Bid Proposals were sent out. Of the 5 Bids received, 1 was <br />a "No Bid". <br />2. Alternatives and Analysis <br />The low bid was submitted by Landscaping by Riverside, Vero Beach. <br />Landscaping by Riverside was awarded the bid for sod 2 years ago <br />and were cancelled mid -year because of poor service and non-availability <br />of sod. <br />The second low bid was -submitted by Sod Laid, Vero Beach, who <br />currently hold the bid for sod. Service over the past year has been <br />excellent. <br />3..Recommendation and Funding <br />It is the recommendation of staff that IRC #302 be awarded to the <br />second low bidder, Sod Laid, Inc. Vero Beach. <br />Funds are budgeted for FY 86-87 in Account #111-214-541-035.39. <br />Discussion arose re the fact that the low bidder had rendered <br />unsatisfactory service in the past, and Commissioner Bird reported <br />that he had contacted the low bidder to discuss this, and he now <br />feels his operation is considerably different than it was two <br />years ago and believed his previous problems would not occur <br />again. He did not feel strongly enough to take this to court, <br />but he would like to be given'a second chance some time. <br />Attorney Vitunac confirmed that the Board's position in <br />awarding to the second low bidder is supportable. <br />R• <br />gp . <br />19 <br />BOOK U F° <br />
