<br />AWARD BID - SOUTHEAST PARTNERSHIP CENTER SERVICE AREA - PROJECT NO 95-
<br />11
<br />Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, advised the Board that on October 2, 1995,
<br />bids were received and opened for the above referred to project. After reviewing those bids, Mr.
<br />Littrell recommends that the Board award the contract to Walsh and Kelly, Inc., 24358 State Road
<br />23, South Bend, Indiana, in the amount of $69,887.00. Mr. Littrell stated that Bedrock Inc., 128
<br />Mick Court, Mishawaka, Indiana, submitted a bid on Form 96, but omitted the Proposal, and
<br />recommended that the bid be rejected. Additionally, the specifications for the project are somewhat
<br />ambiguous as to their intent for the scope of work for Item 17, `B" Borrow", of the Proposal. The
<br />proposal listed it as per square yard. Two of the bidders noted on their proposal that they were
<br />bidding per cubic yard, and the apparent low bidder did not. For the purpose of bid comparison,
<br />the Division of Engineering adjusted the proposal prices to reflect a per square yard pay item, which
<br />is shown on the tabulation. The Division of Engineering also compared the bids with the prices as
<br />written, per square yard, and adjusted, per cubic yard, and found that these changes did not affect
<br />the ranking of the total bid amounts. Engineering then consulted with the lowest bidder and
<br />ascertained that he had implied our intent from the specifications and would be happy to receive the
<br />award at the unit price bid, per square yard. Therefore, Mrs. Manier made a motion that the
<br />recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded as outlined above. Mr. Caldwell seconded the
<br />motion which carried.
