Item No 321
Date: September 24, 2012
Item/Subject: ORDER, Authorizing Bid Award in the Amount of $648,015 to Gardner
Construction for the Waterfront Concert Venue Project
Responsible Department: Engineering
Commentary:
On September 12, 2012, the City received eight (8) bids for the Waterfront Concert Venue Project.
The bid prices ranged from $869,420 to $1,266,742 (see attached bid tabulation).
As part of the FY 2013 budget process, the Council appropriated $680,000 in Downtown TIF funds
for this project. Because the bids received were in excess of available funding City staff worked with
Gardner Construction, the low bidder, to revise the scope of work and bring the project in-line with
the available funding. The revised scope of work, in essence removes the paved surfaces and the
associated drainage from the catering and office spaces located in the "back stage" area; and
removes some fencing and conduit that can be installed at a later date. Both the contractor and the
concert promoters are in agreement with this revised scope of work.
On September 17, 2012, the Finance Committee approved staff recommendation to award the
contract to Gardner Construction in the amount of $648,015, in a 4- 1 vote with Councilor Gratwick
doubting the motion.
The contract award recommendation must be reviewed approved by the City Council as it is over
$100,000.
