RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council award a contract for W.O. 21-35, WRF Administration Building Second Floor Remodel to Cucancic Construction, Inc. in the amount of $143,345.00 which consists of the $139,898.00 Base Bid plus the $3,447.00 Add Alternate.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
The W.O. 21-35, WRF Administration Building Second Floor Remodel Project consists of modifications and upgrades to the existing office spaces on the second floor of the Water Reclamation Facility (WRF) administration building. This project was designed by AT Architecture in the spring of 2020. Contractor quotes were obtained at that time but exceeded $80,000; therefore, staff publicly bid the project.
The Base Work generally includes:
The project was advertised on May 28, June 4 and June 11 in the Yellowstone County News, on the City's website, and on QuestCDN. Bids were opened on June 15 and two (2) were received. Cucancic Construction submitted the lowest, responsible bid.
The Base Work generally includes:
- Removing existing walls, constructing new walls, adding windows and replacing acoustical panel ceiling to improve the functionality of the Electrical Supervisor and Control Systems work spaces,
- Replacing existing floor tile and carpet in all offices, hallways and stairwells with new vinyl plank flooring,
- Miscellaneous electrical, lighting, and HVAC system adjustments, and
- Painting new and existing walls.
