FISCAL IMPACT:

BACKGROUND:

The scope consists of the modernization of three traction elevators and one hydraulic elevator; includes the modification of existing cooling and ventilation of mechanical spaces, electrical and lighting improvements to mechanical rooms and elevator pits.

The construction cost estimate is $2,200,000, and the general prevailing wage rates will be the minimum rates paid on this project. Bids were received and opened by the Public Works Department on June 13, 2019, and the bid results are as follows:

BIDDER	BASE BID
Matrix HG, Inc.	$1,867,975
Mark Scott Construction	$2,544.049

One of the two bids received were below the Engineer’s Estimate of $2,200,000. Staff has evaluated the low bid submitted by Matrix HG, Inc. and their good faith effort documentation. Staff has determined that Matrix HG, Inc.’s bid is responsive and their good faith effort documentation is in compliance with the County’s Outreach Program. The Public Works Director recommends that the Board award the construction contract for this project to Matrix HG, Inc., the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, in the amount of $1,867,975, which is $332,025 less than the Engineer’s estimate.

Pursuant to the County's Project Labor Agreement (PLA) policy, a PLA is required on this project. Matrix HG, Inc. has signed a PLA the General Prevailing Rates of Wages which shall be the minimum rates paid on this project are on file with the the Clerk of the Board and Copies are available to any parties upon request.
