The City performed due diligence in its evaluation of all bids and bidders consistent with the bid documents and applicable laws and policies.  The City also consulted with its design team in the evaluation of the bids (attached).

 

Staff recommends the City not award the Musco lighting package alternate for RFB 2018-03, as there may be potential cost savings for the City to purchase directly from the vendor.  Staff recommends awarding all alternates for RFB 2018-04, including the stairs and ramps for the amphitheater, epoxy flooring and wall tile for the restrooms.

 

Staff recommends the award of RFB 2018-03 and RFB 2018-04 to Scherer Construction of North Florida, LLC as the bids that are in the best interest of the project, the lowest, responsive and responsible.  The financial breakdown of the award is as follows:
