Bid Award - Annual Contract for Citywide Sidewalk Construction/Replacement Services for FY 2007/2008 (B)
This item involves a request for the City Commission to authorize the bid award to JoyTech Construction, Inc., for the annual contract for sidewalk construction/replacement services for FY 2007/2008.
Explanation
On July 27, 2007, the Purchasing Division solicited bids for the Annual Contract for Citywide Sidewalk Construction/Replacement. Two (2) firms responded with bids. JoyTech Construction, Inc., was the lowest responsible, responsive bidder.
Current funding for new sidewalks dictates the Public Works Department needs to contract for additional labor, equipment and materials in order to attain program goals. To address this need, an annual services bid was prepared to invite quality construction firms to submit proposals for the needed sidewalks. The proposals were received on August 21, 2007.
Fiscal Note
The bid tabulation amount was an estimated projection of the total cost for annual sidewalk construction to complete all phases of the program; however, only $150,000 is available in FY 2008 for sidewalk construction projects. The Department will utilize the full $150,000 available funding for FY 2008 and will work to identify and secure the additional funding when necessary. Funding in the amount of $150,000 is identified and will be available in the adopted Public Works Department, Solid Waste Division FY 2008 operating budget, TCEA funds, and selected capital project accounts.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the bid award to JoyTech Construction, Inc., for Annual Sidewalk Construction/Replacement Services for FY 2007/2008; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute an annual services contract with JoyTech Construction, Inc.
