Regarding: Purchase Runway Liquid Chemical Deicer Applicator
and Install Storage Tank for Deicing Fluid
Bangor International Airport
Bangor. Maine
Dear Mr. Pellegrino:
As you know, bids for the subject project were opened at 2:00
p.m. on June 9, 1993. This letter is to advise you of our
findings and to indicate our recommendations for Award of
Contract.
One bid proposal was received as follows:
E1121 B1$
Batts, Inc., $188,686.00
The above bid includes a price of $142,066.00 for the Liquid
Deicer Applicator and $46,620.00 for the Tank Installation. The
total bid exceeds the Engineer's Estimate by approximately 5%.
The bid price for Item No. 1, the Deicer Applicator is 5% below
the Engineer's Estimate and the bid price for the storage tank
installation (Item No. 2) is 55k above the Engineer's estimate
for this item.
The bid price of $142,066.00 for the Deicer Applicator appears to
be reasonable and.. does compare favorably to zimilAr vehicles
previously bid at other local airports in recent years. The bid
price of $46,620.00 for the storage tank installation does not
appear to be reasonable.
Based o review of the bid documents and company literature
from Batts, we find Batts, Inc. to be fully qualified to
furnish the Deicer Applicator and recommend awarding the contract
to Batts, Inc. in the amount of $142,066.00. We do not recommend
awarding the tank installation portion of this project to Batts,
Inc., but instead recommend that this portion of the project be
repackaged and put out for bids separately in the hope of
receiving more than one (1) bidder and a price more in line with
the Engineer's Estimate for this work.
