Gary Street Tower -Recommendation of Award Page 1 of I Gary Street Tower -Recommendation of Award Steve Nelson [stevene@bolton-menk.com~ Sent: Tuesday, May 03, 2011 9:22 PM To: Femrite, Justin; Berg, David Attachments: ERMU Gary Street Tower Bi~l.pdf (40 KB) Gentlemen, The attached table summarizes the bid results and the various combinations of bid items the ERMU could choose when awarding the Contract. According to this, either Classic Protective Coatings or Utility Services Co. will be the lowest responsible bidder for the combination of items which the ERM[ J feels is in the best interest of the project. Both of these contractors are capable of performing the work. [n addition: • The specifications and bid documents did not contain any wording or ambiguities so as to force fhe Contractor to build in additional contingencies. • We feel that the bids received were competitive and responsive and rebidding of the project would not provide any cost savings. • There were no addenda and both contractors included a Bid Bond for 5% with their bid. Accordingly, we recommend that the contract be awarded to Classic Protective Coatings or Utility Services Co. based on the combination of items which the ERMU feels is in the best interest of the project and for the lowest bid total as listed in the attached table. Call with questions and if you want a signed letter of recommendation prepared once you select [he combination of items you want to base your award on. Thank you! Steven G.
