SUBJECT / RECOMMENDATIONS
Approve Award of Contract for Plumbing Renovations at East Bay High School
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

A previously approved District Five Year Plan provides for plumbing renovations at East Bay High School.  The work is being completed in phases. District staff selected MES Group, Inc. from the approved Continuing Services Consultants list to provide design services for the second phase of the work that provides for relining or replacement of approximately 550 feet of sewer line, the majority of which is under a main hallway of the school.

Due to the unknown condition of the sewer line, District staff solicited unit prices for the various possible alternatives of cleaning, relining and replacement (including restoration of the terrazzo floor where excavation and replacement is required). Included in the solicitation is a requirement to clean and video the line to determine the extent of relining or replacement required. 

The project was advertised and bids received (see attached bid tabulation).  A single bidder responded to the solicitation. Based on the engineer's assessment that the proposed prices are reasonable, award of the contract for construction to the single bidder, Florida Pipe Lining Solutions, is recommended. Florida Pipe Lining Solutions has agreed to maintain the proposed unit prices through August 2013 in the event that extensive excavation and replacement is required, extending the work into a second summer period.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
• Construct and maintain facilities that create an environment conducive to teaching and learning
FINANCIAL IMPACT (Budgeted:  Yes)

Total funds in the amount of $250,000 are included in the District Capital Outlay: Local Millage.  In the event pipe conditions require significant replacement, additional funds may be allocated from school year 2012-13 Local Millage.
