Rationale: Bids were advertised, opened and read aloud in public on November 30, 2018. There were three bidders. Second low bidder at $41,190 and the highest bidder at $48,900. This is $14,010.00 less than last due principally to the fact that the inspection work formerly required under this under this contract will be let separately. YPS will be better served by having an independent consultant performing the inspection of the playgrounds and reporting the results to SFMD.

The first apparent low bidder was Divine Constriction at $40,625. They were disqualified by failure to demonstrate required experience and certification.

This contract has a term of one year, renewable under the same terms and conditions by the mutual consent of both parties for up to two additional years

The school district currently has 37 playgrounds in various conditions at 26 different schools. It is necessary that they be serviced and/or repaired in a timely and professional manner. This contract will provide the necessary service of these playgrounds to help ensure that they are safe for our children to use.
Funding: Building Repairs 450.5150.100000.1625.B2316

WHEREAS: in compliance with NYS General Municipal Law 103 bids were duly solicited, opened in public and read aloud on November 30, 2018, for RFB- 6339 “ Service and Repair of Schools Playgrounds” to provide such a vendor, and

WHEREAS: three bids were received and examined and all due diligence taken to determine the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, and

WHEREAS: such findings indicate that Young Equipment Solutions in the amount of $41,190 meets this requirement.

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the award for RFB- 6339 “Service and Repair of School Playgrounds” be made to Young Equipment Solutions, 325 Rabro Dr., Suite 1, Hauppauge NY 11788, in the amount not to exceed of $41,190 for the term of 365 calendar days.
