Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Gateway Mechanical, Inc. for the renovation of the hot water heating boiler at the Jerry Hammond Center, 1111 East Broad Street. It has been determined that it is necessary to replace three of five hot water heating boilers located at the Jerry Hammond Center. As part of the assessment it was determined that several of the hot water comfort heating boilers have ruptured and are leaking water and/or are otherwise deficient. The boilers have far surpassed their normal and expected life expectancy and have been repaired numerous times. The remaining two boilers are of the same age but are more functional; however, they have been targeted for replacement within the next several years.
Formal bids were solicited and six companies submitted bids on October 9, 2013 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
Gateway Mechanical, Inc. $340,900.00

H & A Mechanical, Inc. $386,000.00
General Temperature $408,000.00
Kirk Williams Company, Inc. $724,651.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, Gateway Mechanical, Inc.
Emergency action is necessary so as to initiate the necessary renovations as soon as possible. Failure of one or more of the boilers would significantly impair the City's ability to properly heat this facility.
