Explanation
BACKGROUND: This legislation authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with R.W. Setterlin Building Company for elevator upgrades at the Central Safety Building, 120 Marconi Boulevard.
This ordinance seeks authority for the renovation of four elevators at the Central Safety Building. These elevators are at the end of their useful life and there is an inability to obtain necessary replacement parts. This renovation project will modernize and upgrade the equipment and controls for each elevator, resulting in all four functioning as intended. The work also includes bringing all elevators and related systems up to current elevator code.
Formal bids were solicited and the City received two bids on February 10, 2017 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):
2K General Company $1,578,160.00
R.W. Setterlin Building Company $1,680,000.00
2K General submitted the lowest bid, but was deemed non-responsive. The bid included two subcontractors that were not pre-qualified with the City. In addition, a plumbing subcontractor was not licensed and a power of attorney was not submitted with their bond. The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the most responsive and responsible bidder, R.W. Setterlin Company.
Emergency legislation is requested so the elevator upgrades can begin without delay to meet the operational needs of the Central Safety Building.
R.W. Setterlin Building Company Contract Compliance No. 31-0836188, expiration date February 24, 2019.
