Subjects Review of X26 Access Roads[Water /Sewer Bids
Dear Mr. Milewski:
THE LPA GROUP INCORPORATED and has reviewed the bid prices submitted on 06- June -03 by the
Contractor for the subject project. The bid prices were forwarded to me via e-mail from Jesus Vieiro, Clty
of Sebastian General Services Administration. The following contractors submitted bids on the project:
Contractor Total Amount
JoebearlWarden. $636,724.00
Based on the bid examination, and since the total bid amount exceeds your budget, we recommend
meeting with the bidder, and discussing the prices on several items. Specifically, we suggest discussing
the following items, to insure the Contractor's understanding of their scope and quantity.
• Item. 1, mobilization: you may need to clarify that this is a small airport with no large amount
of traffic control or security concerns
• Item g, boring: Check to verify his costs per unit
• item v, fire hydrants: this item's unit cost seems about $1,000 more than exoected.
• Item aa, surface restoration of taxiway; the procedure is simple, repiace with T' of asphalt
and 8" of limemck base, or equivalent. This cost seems high as bid.
Overall, the bids look appropriate, especially for the roadway portion of the project. With the exception of
the few items discussed. above, everything else looks like it is in the competitive range for those items.
Additionally, we understand that this Contractor has worked in the area and done good work on other
utility projects in the county. If sufficient funds may be allocated, the rest of the hid package looks correct
(bid forms and attachments are appropriately reviewed by the City of Sebastian), and a successful
resolution can be made with the Contractor that is in agreement with the General Services Administration
of the City of Sebastian, we would recommend awarding the project to the only bidder. Please note that
LPA did not review the remainder of the bid documents for accuracy.
Should you need anything further, please do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely, "
