Kafer,Jr., P.E., County Enginee <br /> Michael D.Nixon, P.E., Roadway Production nager,�� <br /> FROM: Etienne B. Bourgeois, P.E.,Project Engineet�� <br /> SUBJECT: Bid No:2014028 <br /> Roseland Lake Clearing& Dredging <br /> IRC Project No. 1219 <br /> DATE: March 24,2014 <br /> The Roseland Lake clearing&Dredging project attracted only 2 contractors to submit bids.One <br /> contractor failed to provide all documents required for an acceptable bid, resulting in <br /> disqualification.The second contractor's bid is 809/6 higherthan the construction budget for the <br /> project. Staff believes contractors may have been discouraged from bidding the project for a <br /> Lump Sum fee due to the risk involved with estimated quantities. <br /> Staff recommends rejecting all bids and reissuing the project for bidding at a later date. <br /> Following rejection of the bids for the Roseland Lake Clearing and Dredging,staff recommends <br /> approval to obtain additional topographic survey data and geotechnical information to revise <br /> the construction plans and specifications.The revised plans and specifications will allow for a <br /> unit price based construction contract.Staff expects bidding of a unit price contract to result in <br /> additional responses and more competitive prices since the contractors have increased <br /> protection from costly unforeseen circumstances during construction. <br /> P'Tublic Works\ENGINEERING DIVISION PROJECTSU 219-Roseland Lake improvementMdmunlcorrespondence\2014028 Reject Bids Memo.doc <br /> 102 <br />
