Explanation
BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Finance and Management Director to enter into a contract on behalf of the Office of Construction Management with 2K General Company for the Municipal Court Building Renovation - Phase 1C Elevator Modernization project.
This renovation project will include the modernization of all public passenger elevators No. 1-8, private passenger elevators No. 9 and 10, and the service/freight elevator No. 11. The service/freight elevator modernization will require the acquisition of a new elevator machine/car. All the other elevators will be refurbished and put back into service without the necessity to replace the entire car. Furthermore, this modernization project will include bringing all elevators and related systems up to current elevator code. It should be noted that an additional stop for the high rise elevators will be added on the sixth floor to provide more efficient flow of people moving throughout the building.
Formal bids were solicited and two bids were received on March 29, 2017 as follows (0 FBE, 0 MBE):

R.W. Setterlin Building Company $6,123,660.00
The Office of Construction Management recommends the bid award be made to the lowest, most responsive and responsible bidder, 2K General Company.
Emergency legislation is requested so the elevator modernization can begin without delay to meet the operational needs of the Municipal Court Building.
