recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
The Purchasing Department is requesting to enter into contract with Thomas Trucking Services in an amount not to exceed $545,000.00 for the purpose of demolishing the vacant building located next to the new Juvenile Justice Center (JJC).
BACKGROUND:
The JJC staff and residents have transitioned into their new facility and the previous building that was used needs to be demolished.
DISCUSSION:
After all of the occupants were moved into JJC’s new facility, the Purchasing Department contracted with Mannik, with Board approval, to assist in preparing a bid specification for the demolition of the old vacant building. Bids were received for this period and Thomas Trucking Services submitted the lowest responsive bid in the amount of $494,984.33 (see bid tabulation that is attached). The County is requesting a contingency to cover any unknowns that may occur during demolition along with knocking down a structure that was not initially in the bid specification. Please note that it will be the County’s intent to stay within the pricing parameters of the initial bid, but unexpected anomalies have occurred in previous demolitions and the County would like to be in a position to continue work without any interruptions.
