Re: P. R. NO. 19212 — REJECTING BIDS FOR ASBESTOS ABATEMENT/DEMOLITION
OF SIX (6) DILAPIDATED COMMERCIAL STRUCTURES IN THE CITY OF PORT
ARTHUR AND AUTHORIZING THE SOLICITATION OF NEW BIDS
COMMENT
Nature of the Request:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt P. R. No. 19212, thereby rejecting the bids for the asbestos
abatement and demolition of six (6) dilapidated commercial structures [2001 Bluebonnet Avenue, 5149
Gulfway Drive, 1000 E. Procter Street, 948-950 9th Avenue, 3433 25th Street, and 2799 W. 61st Street]
from the February 12, 2016 bid opening, and authorize staff to rebid. We recommend rejection of the bids
because the prices are excessive and cost prohibitive.
There was an error in the consultant's specifications for one of the properties, which caused the price to
increase exponentially, causing the bidders to submit a price based on erroneous information; therefore
the unit prices for that property are invalid and excessive, and it would be in the best interest of the City to
solicit new bids for this work.
Staff Analysis/Considerations:Not Applicable.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt P. R. No. 19212, thereby rejecting the bids for the asbestos
abatement and demolition of six (6) dilapidated commercial structures from the February 12, 2016 bid
opening, and authorizing staff to rebid.
Budget Consideration: Not Applicable.
