Sample St. [Former Fun FX Bldg.] DATE: 04/19/2024 On March 26, 2024, the Board of Public Works opened and read bids for the above project. This is the second bid attempt. The first set of bids were rejected as non -responsive for not meeting the M/WBE goals. The project covers the demolition and removal of the existing burned -out building located at 1000 West Sample Street, known locally as the former Fun F/X Building. Six bids were received, with a breakdown of the bids as follows: Contractor Base Bid Met M/W Goals? Basham Construction $375,000 No Green Demolition $528,800 Yes* The MRD Group $627,300 Yes Indiana Earth $724,700 Yes Alpine Demolition Services $734,000 Yes Renascent, Inc. $887,000 No The low bid from Basham Construction used a WBE firm located in Kentucky, which is outside of the City's geographic region for consideration per the City's Disparity Study. The low bid must be rejected as non -responsive. *The second low bid from Green Demolition met the MBE goal but committed to 4.5% WBE spending against a 4.65% goal. Per the City's MWBE Program Plan, a request was made to the Program Plan Administrator to award to Green Demolition based on its bid meeting the MBE requirements and narrowly missing the WBE requirement. The Program Administrator reviewed the request and approved the good faith effort. I recommend award of the base bid for 123-014R Demolition of 1000 West Sample Street to Green Demolition, in the amount of $528,800.00. Funding is available through PR-00030442. Page 1 of 1
