Explanation
1. BACKGROUND
This legislation authorizes the Director of Public Service to enter into a contract for the Alley Rehabilitation-Downtown SID Improvements, Lynn/Pearl Improvements Phase 2 and 3 project and to provide payment for construction administration and inspection services.
The work for which proposals were invited consists of: the installation of street light electrical circuits, street lights, 2 free standing clocks (1 at High Street, 1 at Gay Street), bollards, dumpster enclosures, an ornamental art hedge on Lynn and Pearl Streets, and other such work as may be necessary to complete the contract in accordance with the plans and specifications set forth at Bid Express.
The project was bid with a base bid amount that included everything but the ornamental hedge, and requested pricing for two options for installing the ornamental hedge. If bids including the hedge exceeded the budgetary amount, bidders were told the project could be awarded based on the base bid amounts only (excluding the hedge). All bids with the hedge came in over budget and the decision was made to award the contract on the base bid amount only.
The estimated Notice to Proceed date is February 22, 2016. The project was let by the Office of Support Services through Vendor Services and Bid Express. Three (3) bids were received on December 1, 2015 (all majority) and base bid amounts were tabulated on December 3, 2015 as follows:
