Res 24-572 Award Bid to Cardinal Construction Co. Inc. for Door and Hardware Replacements for Oshkosh Convention Center ($74,450.00)

BACKGROUND

The Facilities Maintenance Division is responsible for providing maintenance oversight to the Oshkosh Convention Center, including any needs for facility updates and/or replacements. In the last several years, several of the Convention Center exterior doors and hardware have begun to fail, simply as a result of normal wear and tear. To ensure we continue to meet fire code and security requirements at the Center, FM staff did an assessment of all the exterior and skywalk doors and identified the need for new door hardware for 14 doors (seven exterior entrances) and the need for replacing four doors and hardware on both ends of the skywalk.

ANALYSIS

Working with the hotel operator and Facilities Maintenance staff, Purchasing prepared bid specifications for these door and door hardware replacements. The bid was advertised in the local newspaper and posted on Onvia Demandstar. Bids were due October 29, 2024. The bid tab is attached. The low bid from Cardinal Construction Co. Inc. met all the minimum bid requirements.

FISCAL IMPACT

The fiscal impact of this bid is $74,450.00. This project will be charged to A/N#: 050131040 7214 07418 (Building Improvements) and then reimbursed by the Convention Center Maintenance Fund held at the Oshkosh Area Community Foundation via an invoice from the City after the project is complete. The Convention Center Operating Budget contributes $40,000.00 annually to this fund, which was established to help address maintenance needs at the Convention Center. Currently, the fund has a balance of approximately $340,000.00.

RECOMMENDATION
