Attn: Ms. Judy Leshko Re: Improvements to Roosevelt Avenue Report of Bids Received CME File: H-CA-00601-01 Dear Mayor Reiman and Council Members: Enclosed herewith please find a summary of bids received on January 12, 2006 for the above-referenced project. Four (4) bids were received ranging from a low bid of $3,287,794.95 from Green Construction, Inc. to the high bid of $3,653,198.75 from Star of the Sea Concrete. The low bid is $147,596.05 or approximately 4.3% less than the preliminary engineer's estimate of $3,435,391.00 prepared for this project. The low bid did not contain any irregularities. However, the second low bidder contained irregularities including not providing a business registration certificate for one of the listed subcontractors. Should the low bidder have a problem executing the contracts for this project, we defer to the Borough Attorney for a determination as to the ability to waive the defects of the second low bidder. As a matter of procedure, our office has contacted the low bidder to review their bid. The representative of Green Construction, Inc. we spoke to indicated they are comfortable with the bid prices as submitted and have no objection to completing the project based on those prices. Our office has worked with the low bidder before on similar projects and has found their work and experience to be satisfactory. They have performed public bid contract work throughout the area and are familiar with the requirements of the Local Public Contracts Law, Prevailing Wage and Affirmative Action requirements for public contracts. c CA\LTR\601-01 Mayor and Borough Council 1·25-06 CONSlLl1NG PH:) MJ'«PAL ENGINEERS 1460 ROUTE 9 SOUTH, HOWEll, NEW JERSEY 07731- (732) 462-7400 - FAX: (732) 409-0756 @ - Mayor and Borough Council Re: Improvements to Roosevelt Avenue- Streetscape Phase II January 25, 2006 H-CA-00601-01 Page 2 It is our understanding that adequate funding is in place to award this contract at the base bid price.

Bids of the second and third bidders be retained and held open pending execution of a contract by the low bidder. 3. Return of the bid security paperwork submitted by the remaining bidders (CME will return the bid securities of the fourth bidder). We are retaining the bid package of the apparent low bidder for preparation of contracts and returning all remaining bid packages to your office under separate cover for further handling as recommended above.
