Rationale: This resolution is to grant the administration the authority to enter into contract as described above. In compliance with General Municipal Law 103, bids were let and opened in public April 17, 2019. Bids were examined and all due diligence observed in determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

A total of 2 bids were received with the second bidder $338,000. The work was designed by KG&D Architects, Inc. who estimated Contract 4 work be $390,000.

After interviewing the apparent low bidder and confirming that they understood the scope of work, bids were found to be correct and the firm has performed acceptably on YPS CIP KG&D, Savin Engineers, and Schools Facilities Management are recommending the award of the subject contract.

CONTRACT 4 of 5, PLUMBING includes the replacement of school’s domestic hot water heater, upgrade existing gas inside the building, installation of a new sump pump for boiler pit, and alterations to existing sanitary lines serving the new boilers.

CIP 10815 scope of work includes but is not limited to replacement of the school’s boiler heating plant, HVAC upgrades, select hallway ceiling and lighting replacement, removal of underground fuel oil storage tank, new Con-Ed gas utility upgrades and requisite asbestos abatement.

Both projects were originally budgeted to $4.5 million and will require a revised budget of $8.3 million. The increase in budget is a result of added scope of work, escalation from a busy construction market, limited bidders and complex schedule. During design the following scope of work was recommended to be included: installation of hi-tech security, air conditioning for the school administration offices, upgrading the schools domestic hot water heater and toilet room exhaust systems, replacement of select hallway ceilings and lighting for concealing new heating piping, fire alarm upgrades for code compliance, Con-Ed changes to site gas service and building piping, and abatement of unanticipated asbestos containing building materials.

FOCUS POPULATION: The stakeholders of the School 8.

ASSESSMENT PROCESS: Architect/Engineer, Construction Manager and School Facilities Management will be inspecting the contractor’s work and monitoring the construction schedule through on-site inspections, daily progress meetings and record keeping.
