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 May 24, 2019. Bids were examined and all due diligence observed in determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

A total of 8 bids were received with the highest bidder having a bid of $746,015.09 and average bid of $514,437. The work was designed by Sammel Architects, PLLC. (Sammel) who estimated Contract work be $675,000.

The apparent lowest bidder at the bid opening at $270,000 Cornerstone was $405,000. (60%) less than the engineer’s estimate, $238,350 (47%) less than the median price bid and $177,800 (40%) less than the next low bidder. They were deemed to be non-responsive in supplying incomplete information with the bid and subsequent requests for information.
The apparent second lower asked to withdraw their bid due to an error in their bid compilations. Therefor this award to Northstar is to the third low bidder and has been found to be both responsive and responsible. Northstar is new to the District. The Architect, Construction Manager and Schools Facilities Management are recommending the award of the subject contract to bidder number 3, Northstar Contracting Corp. as they were found to be the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Northstar demonstrated that they understood the scope of work, and bids were found to be correct.

GENERAL CONSTRUCTION work includes the restoration of the masonry parapet, fiberglass & masonry cornice, and cast-stone parapet details. This work includes but is not limited to masonry repointing, brick & masonry unit replacement, replacing fiberglass cornice and waterproofing.

FOCUS POPULATION: The stakeholders of the Paideia School 24.
