Bid Award - Annual Contract for Citywide Sidewalk Construction/Replacement Services for FY 2011 (B)
This item is a request for the City Commission to authorize the bid award to Florida Concrete Recycling, Inc. for the annual contract, both Option A and Option B, for sidewalk construction/ replacement services for FY 2011.
Explanation
On February 9, 2011, the Purchasing Division solicited bids for the Annual Contract for Citywide Sidewalk Construction/Replacement. Four (4) firms responded with bids. Florida Concrete Recycling, Inc. was the lowest responsible, responsive bidder for both options.
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. Since some of this funding is in the form of Federal grants, an Option "B" was inserted to contain the required Federal verbiage and forms. To address these needs, an annual services bid with two options was prepared to invite quality construction firms to submit proposals for the needed sidewalks. The proposals were received on March 8, 2011.
Fiscal Note
Funding sources will be identified as needed in the Public Works Department FY 2011 operating budget, the City's Capital Improvement Plan capital project accounts and TCEA funds.
Recommendation
The City Commission: 1) approve the bid award to Florida Concrete Recycling, Inc., for Annual Sidewalk Construction/Replacement Services for FY 2011; and 2) authorize the City Manager to execute an annual services contract with Florida Concrete Recycling, Inc., and any necessary documents, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
