NUMBER Rejection of Bids for the Re-roofing of the Main WWTP
11-24-04 RE J-ROOF- Administration Building, Utility Operations Department, 1 of 1
05.DOC Wastewater Treatment Division.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend the City Council reject both of the bids received for the Re-roofing of the Main WWTP
Administration Building, and authorize its re-bid.
BACKGROUND
The roof of this building is over 20 years old and leaks during heavy rains. Although twelve (12) bid
packets were sent out, only two bids were received on November 24, 2004:
Bidder Name Bid Amount
Jerry Bonin Roofing $12,847.
Port Arthur, TX
Mike Barnett Construction $14,880.
Port Neches, TX
These bids are well over the budgeted amount of $8,500, which was based on a quote by Jerry
Bonin Roofing back in March 2004. Note that the specifications were amended during the bid
process (after the pre-bid meeting) to include a 20 year NDL roof warranty, which was said to only
increase the cost by a few hundred dollars. I recommend we re-bid this item with the originally-
specified 10-year material/2-year workmanship warranty.
SUMMARY
The bids received for this item are well over our budgeted funds. I recommend that the City Council
reject these bids and authorize the Utility Operations Department to re-bid this work.
