RECOMMENDATION
Approval of this Resolution.
BACKGROUND
On September 22, 2003, City Council awarded a construction contract to FEDCO, Inc.,
for the FY 2003 Atlanta Avenue Street Improvements Project by Resolution 9957. At the
request of the City and by letter agreement, the execution of the contract was delayed.
The contractor was requested to execute the contract recently. The contractor was
required to provide a performance bond and proof of insurance within 10 days of
notification to execute the contract. FEDCO, Inc., was unable to meet this requirement
and the purchasing agent for the City therefore cancelled the award. The next lowest bid,
La Farge Corporation, is $6,121.86 higher. Attached is a letter from La Farge
Corporation, agreeing to honor their bid prices.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds for this project will be paid from CD0325, CD0327, & CD0328.
Attached is a bid summary showing the results of competitive bids on this project.
