Rationale: This resolution is to grant the administration the authority to enter into subject contract.
In compliance with General Municipal Law 103, this contract was let for public bid on April 18 and there were no bidders. It was let again and opened on May 17, 2019 and Pierotti was the sole bidder. Bids were examined and all due diligence observed in determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Due to budget and bidding law (Wick’s) constraints this award is for the base bid work only, it does not include two bid alternates which included further improvements planned for the gym and auditorium. The original engineer’s estimate for the base work by Sammel Architecture was at $852,000.00. The large overage is due to several factors. Sammel this includes the age of the original estimate, some changes in the design scope of work, a very busy construction market, few bidders, the aggressive schedule and the timing of the bids. They indicate that re-bidding will not get us better prices.
After interviewing the sole bidder and confirming that they understood the scope of work, bid was found to be correct, references checked: Sammel Architects, the construction manager and Schools Facilities Management are recommending this award.

This is work is being done in accord with the Community Schools Grant initiative. The grant includes $789,880.00 in capital funding that is to be spent at three schools: Cross Hill, School 25 and MLK. The principal goal has been to establish medical clinics at each. However, MLK already has a clinic that was created in 2014. Work at that school will include ancillary improvements to make the school more receptive to community involvement.

The grant is being used as the “local share” of the project, the remainder is state aided. In effect this project is almost fully funded by the SED.

CONTRACT 1 of 1, GENERAL CONSTRUCTION includes but is not limited to the conversion of classroom space to medical clinic suite, upgrades to the finishes in the main school entranceway, select sidewalk replacement, parking lot improvements and lobby finishes.
