Summary of Bids- contract 5.pdf
Rationale: This resolution is to grant the administration the authority to enter into contract as described above. In compliance with General Municipal Law 103, this contract was let for public and bids were opened in public and read aloud on November 25, 2019. Bids were examined and all due diligence observed in determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

Bertussi Contracting Inc was the sole bidder for the Plumbing contract bid. The work was designed by Fuller and D’ Angelo P.C. and was estimated to be approximately $ 135,000.00 to $165,000.00. The increase in the bid amount is due to an escalation from a busy construction market, limited bidders and complex schedule.

After interviewing the apparent low bidder and confirming that they understood the scope of work, bids were found to be correct, and the firm has performed satisfactorily on Yonkers Public Schools projects. Fuller and D’ Angelo P.C, Savin Engineers and Schools Facilities Management are recommending the award of the subject contract to Bertussi Contracting Inc.

This CONTRACT 5 of 6, includes all plumbing work associated with the restoration of the gang toilets, and water fountains.

Overall, CIP 10825 scope of work includes but is not limited to: replacement of exterior window & shades, new high-tech security system, site improvements, select interior restoration and requisite asbestos & PCB abatement.

ASSESSMENT PROCESS: The School Facilities Management, Fuller and D’ Angelo P.C. and Construction Manager Savin Engineers, P.C. will be inspecting the contractor’s work and monitoring the construction schedule through on-site inspections, biweekly progress meetings and record keeping.
