Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with the Righter Company, Inc. for window repair and replacement at Fire Station No. 1 and No. 9 at 300 N. Fourth Street.
The existing window wall systems will be replaced at the east and west sides of the building. The new commercial grade aluminum window wall system will be thermally insulated for energy conservation. The existing strip windows along the north and south elevations will be resealed to stop water infiltration. Most of these windows are original to the Fire Station which was constructed in 1982.
Formal bids were solicited and the city received three proposals on August 27, 2015 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
Ultimax, Inc. $275,000.00
2K General Company $338,000.00
Righter Company, Inc. $340,200.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, The Righter Company. Ultimax, Inc. was not prequalified with the City at the time of submitting a bid and 2K General Company did not properly acknowledge having received an addendum; therefore both bids are non-responsive.
Emergency action is requested in order to expedite manufacturing of the window walls and to have them installed prior to winter weather.
Righter Company, Inc. Contract Compliance No. 31-0889208, expiration date November 13, 2016.
Fiscal Impact: This legislation authorizes an expenditure of $340,200.00 with the Righter Company for window repair and replacement at Fire Station 1 and 9 for the Division of Fire using Public Safety capital funds.
