Background
The Recreation and Parks Department solicited bids for the Barber Roselea Senior Center Demolition Project. Four (4) bids were received and opened by the Recreation and Parks Department on August 26, 2008. The bids are as follows:
Vendor Status Amount
S.G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. Majority $ 42,350.00
Baumann Enterprises Majority $ 56,800.00
Law General Contracting Majority $ 59,000.00
B&B Wrecking & Excavating Majority $217,000.00
It is the recommendation of the Recreation and Parks Department to award the bid to S.G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. who submitted the lowest and best responsive and responsible bid.
The project includes the demolition of one building, wooden shed, and arbor structure; the removal of vegetation and concrete walks; capping off existing utilities; backfill, final grading and seeding. Asbestos removal is also required. This project will remove a building from Whetstone Park that has housed senior programming and has rapidly deteriorated over the last few years. The senior's group will be relocated to the newly renovated Whetstone Recreation Center.
A project contingency in the amount of $7,650.00 is included in this legislation.
The Contract Compliance Number for S.G. Loewendick & Sons, Inc. is #31-4420502 and the contract compliance is effective through 08/31/09.
Emergency action is necessary so that the project can be completed during the construction season, but it was necessary to wait until the new space could be occupied at the Recreation Center.
Fiscal Impact:
$50,000.00 is required and budgeted in the 1999/2004 Recreation and Parks Voted Bond Fund to meet the financial obligation of this contract.
