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 April 18, 2019. Bids were examined and all due diligence observed in determining the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

A total of two bids were received with the next bid at $996,000 including the alternate work item. The work was designed by Sammel Architecture, PLLC who originally estimated the work at $371,228.00 in 2017. The large overage is due to several factors. Sammel indicates that 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 apparent low bidder and confirming that they understood the scope of work, bids were found to be correct, and 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 fully funded by the SED.
