INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS DIVISION OF ENGINEERING TO: Anne Fuchs, Clerk Board of Public Works FROM: Finn Cavanaugh, Project Engineer, Division of Engineering SUBJECT: Award Memo #121-001: Curb and Sidewalk Construction 2021 DATE: June 11th, 2021 On June 8th, 2021, the Board of Public Works opened and read bids for the above project. The bid is subdivided into 9 divisions, and the city reserves the right to award each division to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder for that division. The attached bid tabulation enumerates each bidder’s amount per division. The bid submitted by TX Concrete did not contain a bid bond nor the documentation required by the Responsible Bidder Ordinance. Evidence of MWBE Good Faith Efforts in forms 1.0 and 2.1 was also not provided. TX Concrete’s bid shall be considered non-responsive and is recommended to be rejected as such. The bid submitted by Ziolkowski Construction omitted forms 1.0 and 2.1 pertaining to WBE contact and utilization. M/WBE utilization goals were not met by the bidder, and a Good Faith Effort was not fulfilled by the bidder due to a failure to advertise subcontracting opportunities in general circulation. Ziolkowski’s bid shall be considered non-responsive and is recommended to be rejected as such. As a note for the record, Engineering found that the amount of each line item in Ziolkowski’s bid was rounded to the nearest dollar. The attached bid tab fixes this slight calculation error by tallying each line to the nearest cent. The corrected calculation records the total of all divisions at $639,008.24, versus the bid’s written total of $638,970.00. This correction results in an “increase” of $38.24 but is immaterial to the results of the award, due to Ziolkowski’s bid being non-responsive. In the bid submitted by Selge Construction, the MWBE utilization plan fell short of the established percentage goals specified in the bid documents. However, a Good Faith Effort was fulfilled by the bidder, and this bid is considered responsive in accordance with the City’s MWBE Inclusion Program Plan. The bids by Rieth-Riley and Milestone Contractors North were both found to be responsive, including all required documentation and meeting the established goals for MWBE utilization.
