SUBJECT: CORPORATION YARD FLEET SHOP CNG MODIFICATION PROJECT —
REJECT ALL BIDS FOR CONTRACT NO. 4315
ISSUE:
City is planning to modify two service bays in Building "D" at the City Corporation Yard,
which is required to safely maintain and repair Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) powered
vehicles and equipment.
RECOMMENDATION:
Reject all bids.
DISCUSSION:
The work necessary to complete this contract includes modifying two service bays in
Building "D" by adding a steel frame, three full- height drywall partitions, doors, windows and
HVAC system, (including makeup -air ducts, roof - mounted duct inlets, and roof - mounted
exhaust fans), and a methane -leak detection system (including roof - mounted detectors,
control panels and annunciators) for the purpose of servicing CNG vehicles. These modified
service bays are designed to be air -tight to prevent methane and other gas leakage to the
surrounding area and include leak detector and alarm systems.
At 10:00 A.M. on July 21, 2010, the City Clerk opened and read the following bids for this
project:
BIDDER
Low Spec Construction Co, Inc.
2 A2Z Construct, Inc.
3 Andersen Air Conditioning, L.P.
4 Amtek Construction
5 Monet Construction Inc.
TOTAL BID AMOUNT
$167,950.00
$190,000.00
$202,890.00
$228,408.00
$240,000.00
Staff encountered several different problems with the bids associated with the need for
contractors to provide the needed specialty trade disciplines required for the construction of
air -tight services bays and associated leak detector and alarm systems. Staff recommends
rejecting all bids, retooling the construction documents to clearly indicate the high quality
construction standards required for this project and then re- advertising the project.
