Discuss, consider and take appropriate action on awarding IFB T4230 CR 258 Milling, Sealing and Overlay to the lowest responsive bidder Texas Material Group Inc and authorizing execution of the agreement.

Purchasing solicited sealed bids for IFB T4230 CR 258 Milling, Sealing and Overlay. We had five (5) suppliers participate with two suppliers responding.  The bids have been reviewed and the apparent low bid (Texas Materials Group Inc) was found to be responsive, mathematically correct, and materially balanced. The Contractor's low base bid is $558,237.18 below the Engineer's Estimate, a cost decrease of 13.3%. In addition to meeting the bid qualifications subject to being low bidder, Texas Materials Group Inc, has performed similar work on other projects and received positive references from those contacted. Based on the low bid of $558,237.18 and the previous work experience, we recommend awarding Texas Materials Group Inc, the contract for CR 258 Milling, Sealing and Overlay project.
