A motion was made by Richard Merritt, seconded by Kenneth Brown, to approve the agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously.
ACTION ITEMS
Award of the Construction Bid for the Educational Services Building
A motion was made by Janice Barter, seconded by Beth Chaplin, to award the construction contract to Littlefield Brothers with Alternates 3, 5, 7, and 12 for a total amount of $4,175,500.
There was a discussion on the motion.
There were three low bidders, however, after reviewing the alternates,
Littlefield Brothers was recommended as the low bidder.
Superintendent Phillips thanked PDT Architects for their hard work and comprehensive data provided on the bid research.
A question was asked as to why the Board could not hold off awarding all of the alternates if they can hold off on awarding the fueling station? It was explained that there is also contingency money available. Some alternates would be more expensive to do once the building is constructed.
A question was asked if the Board had to take the low bidder if a local contractor had a higher bid? It was confirmed that the Board is obligated to take the lowest bid.
Mr. Madura explained that all local contractors were aware of all the documents. There was only one local contractor bid. The General Contractor who is awarded the contract can still use local vendors for other areas outside of mechanical, electrical and site work.
Vote on the Motion: 9-Yes, 0-No. Motion carried unanimously.
Marilyn from PDT Architects mentioned that the DEP Permit should be available by next Friday.
