THE PURCHASING DIVISION, THE PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT/HIGHWAY CONSTRUCTION AND ENGINEERING DIVISION, AND THE PARKS AND RECREATION DIVISION RECOMMEND APPROVAL OF THE ABOVE MOTIONS.
The Office of Economic and Small Business Development (OESBD) established a County Business Enterprise (CBE) goal of 20% for this contract. Concrete Protection and Restoration, Inc. committed to 20.9% CBE participation, which has been reviewed and approved by the OESBD (Exhibit 2).
This contract provides for concrete restoration repairs, railing replacement, and painting of the Anne Kolb Nature Center observation tower. This bid included 24 base bid items and two optional groups (painting and protective sealing) that would be awarded based on available budget and in the best interest of the County. Based on the pricing received, the Highway Construction and Engineering Division and the Parks and Recreation Division determined to award the base bid items and one optional group.
This procurement carries a 100% performance and payment guaranty. The Purchasing Division confirmed with the surety company that Concrete Protection and Restoration, Inc. has the capacity to obtain the required guaranty.
The allowances incorporated into this contract in the amount of $16,000 include: $14,000 for non-Broward County permit fees, and $2,000 for miscellaneous utility, certification and municipality fees. Expenditures under these allowance items must be approved by the contract administrator and will be reimbursed at the contractor’s incurred cost without markup.
Due to the typical incidence of an unforeseen condition to occur during concrete restoration type repairs, an increase to the administrative change order allowance is requested. The requested additional 5% change order allowance above the 5% allowable administrative change order allowance will enable the Highway Construction and Engineering Division to expedite necessary change orders of up to 10% of the original contract amount, without impacting the project completion schedule.
