Title
A Resolution to Discuss the Foley Farmers Market Kitchen Bid Results
Summary
Staff previously requested permission from Council to go to move forward with a commercial kitchen to be located at the Coastal Alabama Farmer's and Fisherman's Market. In order for local food entrepreneurs to expand their businesses, meet demand, access learning opportunities and receive mentorship and business incubation services, while contributing to the growth and development of the community. Bids were opened for the Foley Farmers Market Commercial Kitchen for a second time with seven bids received. The lowest responsible bidder was Langan Development with a base bid of $877,325. When evaluating the bids, staff must consider the other project costs in addition to the construction costs such as equipment and engineering. Once these figures were factored into the price, the total price for the project was $1,152,694. The current budget for this project is $750,000 resulting in a $402,694 deficit. At this time, staff recommends rejecting all the bids and not moving forward with this project. We appreciate all the contractors time and effort to put together their bids.
