We received one bid for $425,000. The bid was determined to be higher than the budget available for the project and the bid was rejected. The project was re-scoped and then put out for public bid again with bids th , 2019. The lowest bid received was $375,000, which was again well above received on October 8 the available budget. Venues Parks & Arts would still like to pursue the project and has determined that it can perform the work with its own workforce pursuant to Indiana Code 36-1-12-3. VPA has demonstrated the skills, training, and expertise to carry out the public work. We will still contract out, through quotes send to the Board of Public Works, the plumbing and electrical trade portions of the project. We estimate the savings to be approximately $217,000 to do the work in this way. This would enable us to still complete the project whereas we would not have been able to do it otherwise. The breakdown of the work is estimated as follows: Contracted portionEstimated Amount Plumbing work $75,000 Electrical work $25,000 CMU Work $10,000 Total Contracted$110,000 Internally Performed Estimated Amount Materials $17,900 Labor $26,700 Equipment$3,750 Total Internal $48,350 Total for project $158,350 We believe that it is in the public interest for Venues Parks & Arts to perform this project with its own workforce and ask for the Board’s approval.
