Explanation

BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with Tinkler Construction, for the construction of the new K-9 Facility, located at 2275 McKinley Avenue. This new facility will be one-story and approximately 3,200 square feet. The facility will include a locker room/restroom with offices and a meeting area. The animal care section will include pre-manufactured kennels with adjacent pre-manufactured animal runs. Formal bids were solicited on June 13, 2007. The following five companies submitted bids by the July 9, 2007 deadline (1 MBE, 0 FBE):

Comprehensive Facility Services, Inc. $652,305.00
Tinkler Construction $663,000.00
WB Republic Builders, LLC $702,300.00
*Williamson Builders, Inc. $720,346.00
Ardmore Construction $783,290.00

*Minority Business Enterprise

The apparent low bidder was Comprehensive Facility Services, Inc. However, once all of the creditable factors were applied (inclusive of a credit for quality training contractor credit and a retirement or pension plan credit), the lowest responsive and responsible and best bidder was identified as Tinkler Construction. Therefore, the Office of Construction Management recommends that the bid be awarded to Tinkler Construction .

This ordinance also authorizes the transfer of $663,000.00 from the Special Income Tax Fund to the Safety Voted Bond Fund to provide funding for the new K-9 Facility until bonds are sold.

EMERGENCY ACTION is requested so that the construction of the new K-9 Facility may begin as soon as possible, thereby providing necessary safety services to City residents.

Tinkler Construction's Contract Compliance # 34-1544324, expiration date 6.21.09.

FISCAL IMPACT: This project is funded in the 2007 Capital Improvement Budget. However, bonds have yet to be sold, necessitating the certification against the Special Income Tax Fund. The ...
