THE PURCHASING DIVISION AND THE AVIATION DEPARTMENT RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTION.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) goal of 18% for this contract. S&L Specialty Contracting, Inc. committed to 18.20% DBE participation, which the OESBD reviewed and approved (Exhibit 2).
The purpose of this contract is to provide construction and installation of acoustical materials to reduce interior noise levels in 112 residential homes located in the City of Dania Beach, in accordance with the Residential Sound Insulation Program (Program). The work consists of sound insulation measures, including windows; exterior and interior doors; weather stripping and sealant; insulation; drywall; painting; cooling and heating systems; lead paint remediation and asbestos remediation.
The Federal Aviation Administration issued a Record of Decision (ROD), which determined that the South Runway Expansion noise impact project area is eligible for sound insulation as a result of the runway project. The Program was offered to 1,858 eligible single and multi-family residential units located within the highest noise impact area and the adjacent neighborhoods. The Program is being carried out in groups of residential units.
As of November 1, 2017: 687 units were completed; 13 units are currently in construction; 488 units are awaiting construction and 24 units are in the design process. There are 646 units not participating in the Program due either to owner declining, owner not responding or unit being deemed compatible with the airport environs, which means the interior noise level is below 45 DNL (Day-Night Average Sound Level).
This procurement carries a 100% performance and payment guaranty. The Purchasing Division confirmed with the surety company that S&L Specialty Contracting, Inc. has the capacity to obtain the required guaranty.
The allowances incorporated in this contract, in the amount of $375,000, are for permitting fees. Expenditures under these allowances must be approved by the contract administrator and will be based on the actual cost incurred by the contractor for each occurrence.
The Aviation Department reviewed the bid submitted by S&L Specialty Contracting, Inc., and concurs with the recommendation for award (Exhibit 3). Seven vendor performance evaluations were completed for S&L Specialty Contracting, Inc.; the firm has a rating of 4.69 out of a possible rating of 5.0. Copies of the vendor performance evaluations are available upon request.
There was no protest or appeal filed regarding this procurement.
The bid posted on October 12, 2017, and opened on November 15, 2017; two bids were received with no declinations (Exhibit 1).
