Rationale:
|
After a contract the subject contract was recommended for award to Grace Contracting & Development, Inc. (Grace) via Board Resolution Agenda Item 21.3 at the March 20, 2019 meeting and after a Notice to Proceed was issued to Grace on April 5, 2019, Grace requested that due to a miscalculation they be released from the bid on April 8, 2019. In a subsequent meeting with Grace they confirmed their intention to decline the work.
This resolution is to rescind resolution Item 21.3 dated March 20, 2019 in order to unencumber $1,447,830.00 in capital funds for immediate use elsewhere.
A rescission agreement with Grace and the Board (up to bid bond) will be negotiated in working with City of Yonkers Corporation Counsel and Finance Department (Purchasing). The result of which will be presented in a future resolution.
