However, immediately after the bid opening, V&K submitted a letter (copy enclosed) stating that they made an error in their bid and requesting the Borough allow them to withdraw their bid. We have contacted V&K to clarify whether their entire bid is being withdrawn or just their dredging related items, They advised that only their dredging bid was in error. All required forms were submitted by V&K Construction. Their bid proposal had defects in that unit price written amounts were not written in. Further, their unit price for Deduct AI! 0-1-1 does not match Base Bid Item 1 as required. There does not appear to be any errors in the extended amounts as totals. These items seem to be minor deviations and do not affect the order of the bidders and could possibly be considered informalities. The bid proposal has been sent to the Borough Attorney for review. V &K Construction is currently performing work for the Borough for the Waterfront Park Phase II project. I understand from John DuPont, the Borough's Director of Engineering, that V&K's work has been satisfactory. The second low bidder for all scenarios is The Dawson Corporation ofClarksburg, New Jersey. All reqUiI'Cd"'itf-1y-æ;-- forms were submitted by Dawson.

The bid proposal has been sent to the Borough Attorney for review. The Dawson Corporation is a contractor with similar public park construction experience. I understand they are currently under contract to perform work in Joseph Medwick Park in West Carteret on a project which will require dredging to create new wetlands as part of a wetlands mitigation project. T &M Associates has provided contract administration and inspection services for numerdus park projects constructed by Dawson and we have found their work to be satisfactory. J understand the Borough is considering awarding the pond restoration contract without the dredging element (Deduct Alternate 0-1) and that the Borough may have its own DPW Staff perform the dredging. Based on favorable review by the Borough Attorney and satisfactory past performance, J recommend the Mayor and Borough Council award a contract to V &K Construction of Edison, New Jersey. The final contract amount will depend on the alternate bids the Borough determines to award (see above table for possible award amounts). Award should also be subject to certification of funds by the Chief Financial Officer, review and approval of the bid documents by Green Acres, and approval of the New Jersey Department of Labor, Division of Wage & Hour Compliance, If you have any questions or require additional information, please call.

The bid proposal has been sent to the Borough Attorney tor review. V &K's base bid in the amount of $495,695 is approximately 40% of the engineer's estimate and 47% of the second low bidder. Based on the tàct that their bid is signitìcantly below our estimate, the bid appears unreasonable.
