Title
Consider Approval Of Proposals For Bid # 17-013 From Various Vendors For Irrigation System Installation And Repairs For Multiple Departments.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The city is continually working to improve the landscape and aesthetics of medians, right of ways and parks. The addition of new plantings and aging irrigation throughout our system requires regular maintenance, repair and improvements. A Request for Proposal (RFP) was issued for new installation and repair and maintenance of existing irrigation.
Bids were advertised in the Carrollton Star as required by law, registered vendors and plan rooms were contacted and the bid was posted to Demandstar, and also to the city's website. A total of two (2) responses were received. This bid award is for one year with two one-year renewal options available if mutually agreeable.
Bids were evaluated and more evaluation weight was applied to the cost of new irrigation since a majority of our budgeted expenses are designated for new irrigation. Because of vendor work schedules and the number of sites that may need attention, staff feels it is important to have a primary and secondary vendor for prompt response. Vendors will be contacted in this order of bid award and work will be assigned to the vendor who can perform in a timely manner.
FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS:
The product and services on Bid # 17-013 will be purchased from budgeted funds for the cost centers and amounts as listed below over a one year period.
