Body
WHEREAS, bids were received and opened on March 26, 2015 at 2:00 p.m. for the Graham Creek Interpretive Center, and,
WHEREAS, a low bid of $1,121,113.00 was submitted by Sycamore Construction, Inc.; however, after further investigation, it was discovered that Sycamore Construction Inc.'s bid limit is only for projects up to $1,000,000.00, therefore their bid is considered non-responsive and cannot be accepted.
WHEREAS, the second low bid and lowest responsive bidder is Youngblood-Barrett Construction and Engineering LLC who submitted a base bid amount of $1,250,000.00. It is understood that a value engineering evaluation of the project will be done immediately with a goal to reduce the bid amount by 10% of the base bid which is the maximum allowed by law.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Foley, Alabama, as follows:
SECTION 1: Accepts the lowest responsible bid submitted by Youngblood-Barrett Construction and Engineering LLC in the amount of $1,250,000 contingent upon the ability to reduce the cost of the project by 10% or $125,000.00 after performing a value engineering evaluation and appropriates an additional $125,0000 to account 12-665-7342 R18 CONST.
