1�b <br />CONSENT <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET <br />PURCHASING DIVISION <br />DATE: February 1, 2022 <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners <br />THROUGH: Jason E. Brown, County Administrator <br />Kristin Daniels, Budget Director <br />FROM: Jennifer Hyde, Purchasing Manager <br />SUBJECT: Award of Bid 2022029—Annual Right -of -Way Mowing <br />BACKGROUND: <br />On behalf of the Road and Bridge Division, annual bids were requested for contractors to perform <br />mowing in six roadway right-of-way sections. This is a new bid, with term of award proposed to be <br />one year, with the option of two one-year extensions, subject to satisfactory performance, vendor <br />acceptance, and the determination that renewal of this annual bid is in the best interest of Indian <br />River County. <br />BID RESULTS: <br />Advertising Date: December 21, 2021 <br />Bid Opening Date: January 14, 2022 <br />Demandstar Broadcast to: 227 Subscribers <br />Bid Documents Obtained by: 17 Vendors <br />Replies: 6 Contractors <br />ANALYSIS: <br />The invitation to bid noted that each section will be awarded in its entirety, with Contractors <br />eligible to be awarded one or more sections. The bid documents also provided that the County <br />reserves the right to award the work a manner that is in its best interest. Therefore, the <br />department reviewed the bids and proposed distribution of the work among four contractors. The <br />instances where the lowest bid is not recommended for award reflect a lack of evidence provided <br />by the low bidder of sufficient staff and equipment to perform work in more than one Section. The <br />annual bid totals for each of the six sections and staff's recommended award are shown on the <br />table on the next page. <br />21 <br />
