Analysis
These contracts are for upgrades at the Public Safety Building and Auto Pound to include bullet-resistant glazing provisions, glass door removal and replacement with solid core wood doors and kevlar incorporation into existing entry lobby millwork.
Bid # 17076 was advertised in the Fort Worth Star Telegram, Bidsync, and provided directly to 462 potential vendors. Four bids were received as shown on attachment A.
Staff evaluated the lowest bid and determined the apparent low bidder was non-responsible as the prior work they have performed for the City over the past 5 years was not completed successfully and satisfactorily as required in the bid specifications.
The second low bid from Lemco Construction Services was determined to be responsive and responsible and is recommended award of phases 1-2 and 4-6 of the project. Phase 3 of the project was removed from the award as staff is evaluating different alternatives.
The Public Safety, Health and Environment Committee reviewed this item on May 1, 2017, and recommended that it be forwarded to City Council for approval.
