Procurement Information
Three bids were received according to section 34-201 of the Arizona Revised Statues on April 24, 2018. The bids were sent to the Equal Opportunity Department (EOD) for review to determine subcontractor eligibility and general contractor responsiveness in demonstrating compliance with the project's SBE goal. The low bid was deemed non-responsive by EOD.
Bids ranged from a low of $2,272,616 to a high of $3,309,660. The engineer's estimate and the two lowest, responsive and responsible bidders are listed below:
Engineer's Estimate: $2,428,350
Quest Civil Contractors, LLC: $3,252,252
Action Direct, LLC dba Redpoint Contracting: $3,309,660
Contract Term
The term of the contract is expected to be 425 calendar days from the date of issuance of the Notice to Proceed. Contract work scope identified and incorporated into the contract prior to the end of the contract may be agreed to by the parties, and work may extend past the termination of the contract. No additional contract work scope changes may be executed after the end of the contract term.
Financial Impact
Quest's fee for services will not exceed $3,252,252, including all subcontractors and reimbursable costs. Although the bid exceeds the engineer's estimate by greater than 10 percent, the bid is within the total project budget.
