Rationale: RFP 420-19-09 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 3 firms on June 3, 2019 with proposals as high as $425,000.00. 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 have the lowest cost proposal at $330,000.

A This resolution will assign only five of the seven tasks as delineated in the RFP up to the point of the issuance of a building permit by the SED for a fee up to $240,000.00, including expected reimbursable expenses. The final two phases for post permit work, Bidding & Negotiation and Construction Administration including expected reimbursable expenses, at a cost up to $90,000.00 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 $5.1M will be also be fully funded at that time via future bond sales.

Overall the cost of CIP 10874 is estimated at $5.1M. Only this partial task fee is being funded at this time. Work is anticipated to take two years and commence in the winter of 2021. The scope of work is to include but is not necessarily limited to: new interior doors & select exterior doors, HVAC duct work, hi tech security, rebuilt toilet rooms, site work and interior & exterior lighting.

The services that E&R will provide include but are not limited to: review existing drawings and survey the school infrastructure and to confirm existing conditions, confirm the scope of work and develop a project budget, prepare construction documents and specifications for procurement of a building permit from the NY State Education Department, issuance of construction documents for public bid and provide the District with construction administration services.
