Included in the Airport's Capital Improvement Program is the Interior Painting of the IP-9 Office Building. The first and second floor office areas of the IP-9 Office Building are currently leased by the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation.  The building was built in 1966 and was last painted in 2005. This project will patch and repaint all the painted walls and ceilings on both floors totaling approximately 40,000 square feet of surface area. Staff will coordinate the painting of each area with the tenants. This project was advertised in the Billings Times on March 5, 12, and 19, and posted on the City's Web site. On March 24, 2015, the following bid was received:

CONTRACTOR	BID
High Roller Painting	$105,000
Estimate	$30,000

After reviewing the sole bid, staff recommends rejecting that bid and rebidding the project at another time.

City Council may:

• Approve, the recommendation to reject the sole bid for the Interior Painting of the IP-9 Office Building; or
• Decline the recommendation to reject the sole bid and award the project at a cost that exceeds budget.

If awarded, the total cost of this project would be $105,000. The funding source for this project would come from the Airport's Capital Fund.

Staff recommends the City Council decline to award the sole bid for the Interior Painting of the IP-9 Office Building and rebid the project later.
