Alternate Recommendations:

Background: The existing generator at Building B needs to be replaced with a larger generator that will be able to run the entire building in the event of a power loss.
An E-Bid was issued on February 2, 2024, to 2,013 potential contractors. There were twenty-one (21) plan holders with two (2) responsive proposals and one (1) non-responsive proposal being received on March 5, 2024.
Issues/Analysis: Staff has reviewed the proposals and finds the GLF Construction Corporation provides the lowest responsive responsible bid. The project is partially funded by a State of Florida Division of Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation Grant which requires the bid be awarded to the lowest responsive responsible bidder. GLF Construction Corporation is not a local contractor.
Financial Information: Funds are appropriated in the Capital CIP Fund / General Government / Improvements O/T Building (#301-1900-563000-00000).
Special Consideration: The State of Florida Division of Emergency Management Hazard Mitigation Grant provides partial funding in the amount of $986,458.75.
