Fr— JUN 9 1987 BOOK l68 PACE 493 with the bid as required in the Bid specifications and the bid did not meet the specifications. The other bid was submitted by Paragon Electric of Vero Beach in the amount of $24,750.00. The 5% Bid Bond was included. The recommendation is to award to Paragon Electric per the attached memo from Lynn Williams. Background The transformer in the Administration Building is no longer manufactured and is at least 25 years old. Also, it is possibly part of the problem with the power outages and computer problems in DP. Source of Funds Funds are budgeted in Account #001-220-519-066.39• Bid Data The Transformer Replacement Bid was advertised on May 4, 11, 18, 1987• Bids were received Wednesday, May 27, 1987 at 2 P.M. 2 Bids were received. TO: Carolyn Goodrich, DATE: May 28, 1987 FILE: Purchasing Manager CFR:OM4' i'� intendent, Buildings & Grounds - SUBJECT: Transformer Replacement Bid REFERENCES: After review of the two bids received for the Administration Building Transformer replacement project I recommend that the project bid be awarded to Paragon Electric, with the following justification: 1) Paragon is the only bidder providing the required bid bond of 5%. -- 2) Review of the Bids show that B&W requires others to make all secondary connections. This does not meet the specifications, as the project is "turn -key" with all connections to the existing buss -bar to be made by the contractor. 3) Although B&W is considerably lower in their bid they did not review or discuss the specifications design or requirements for coordination with myself or the Engineer. Due to the difficult nature of this project and the potential for problems, I feel this is`crucial. 4) Paragon spent several hours of time evaluating and planning the sequence of the project in order to reduce the possibility of problems. In fact, an addendm to the specifications was generated due to Paragon's discussions with the Engineer.
