RES 15-15 AWARD A-E RFP404 2-26-2020.pdf
Rationale: Via Resolution 15.15 at their stated meeting on February 26, 2020, the Board of Trustees awarded a requirements contract to Eisenbach & Ruhnke Engineering, P.C. (E&R) for an amount not to exceed $1.0 million. The subject task is being assigned to E&R under this contract.

The project scope of work includes providing ventilation to select crawlspaces at each school to improve indoor air quality and provide requiring heating, cooling & ventilation for the Basement Room 21 converted from Storage Room to Special Group Instruction at School 30. The above scope of work will include all requisite abatement of hazardous materials.

E&R’s base proposal for $28,400.00 is to provide services that include but are not limited to: review existing drawings and survey the school infrastructure and to confirm existing conditions. Confirm the scope of work and develop a project budget. Prepare construction documents and specifications for procurement of a Building Permit from the NY State Education Department, issuance of construction documents for public bid and provide the District with construction administration services.

The department has earmarked another $17,000 for potential reimbursable costs such as time for sampling and testing for hazardous materials, probing, printing, special testing during construction and additional engineering services that may be requested by the District. This brings the maximum fee for this task up to $45,400.00; $25,200 for School-30 (10892) and $20,200 (10893) for Palisades Preparatory School.

This project cost is currently anticipated to be roughly $250,000.00 and construction is planned for the summer & fall of 2020.

This RFP was issued only to E&R due to its limited scope. The firm has worked on numerous other projects and is well qualified to undertake this project.
