Rationale: RFP 420-19-10 for the subject project was issued on May 8, 2019 to the 5 firms who were awarded requirements contracts via Resolution 17.5 at the January 20, 2016 meeting. Responses were received from 4 firms on May 31, 2019 ranging up to $521,172.00. As result of the examination of the responses, it was determined that E&R would be the best firm suited for this project and happens to be the lowest priced at $400,000.

This resolution will assign only five of the seven tasks as delineated in the RFP up to the point of the procurement of a building permit for a fee up to $280,000.00. The final two phases for post permit work, Bidding & Negotiation and Construction Administration at a cost of $120,000.00 will be awarded at a later date under separate resolution. This will most likely be in the fall of 2020. The funding for the construction, roughly $5.5M will be also be fully funded at that time via future bond sales.

Overall cost of CIP 10875 is estimated at $5,500,00.00. Work is anticipated to take two years and commence in the spring of 2021. The scope of work is to include but is not necessarily limited to: roofing, new heat plant & controls, windows, (select case work, shades, AC) new ADA elevator, hi tech security, re-built toilet rooms, other interior finishes and requisite hazardous materials abatement.
