Re: Bid Review
Intersection Improvement
Roosevelt Ave, Washington Ave and Holmes St.
Dear Mr. DuPont:
As requested, we have reviewed the four (4) bids for the Roosevelt Avenue and Washington Ave-Holmes
Street Intersection Improvement project. Enclosed is a bid summary and the original bid documents for the
project. The following is a list of bids received:
Bidder
Bid
Lucas Electric Co.
FAI-GON Electric
Daidone Electric
H. B. C. Co. Inc.
$155,237.50*
$166,606.75
$247,931.00
$249,238.00*
Engineer's Estimate (Maser Consulting)
$157,574.20
* Mathematical Adjustments
to Bid Totals
The low bidder is Lucas Electric Co ofHightstown, New Jersey with a bid amount of $155,237.50. This is a
corrected amount which includes a 60 cent discrepancy. Lucas Electric, as well as all bidders, have provided
required supporting documents with their bids including Consent of Surety, Bid Bond, Disclosure of
Ownership, Public Works Contractor Certificate of Registration, List of Subcontractors and their Business
Registration Certificate and Bid Document Submission Checklist.
We have worked with Lucas Electric on many similar municipal projects over the past ten years and find
their work to be satisfactory.
Two of the bidders indicated that they received addendums, while the remaining two did not. It is
understood after speaking with Reza Marshal of Maser Consulting, that new bid packages were distributed
on November 8, 2005 to all bidders and no fonnal addendum was issued. Therefore, this does not seem to be
an issue; however, should be reviewed by the Borough Attorney.

Re: Bid Review
Intersection Improvements
Roosevelt Ave, Washington Ave and Holmes St.
Based on our review, the low bid seems reasonable. Should the Borough decide to award a contract, the
award should be contingent upon the necessary funds being available, review of the bid documents by the
Borough Attorney, concurrence of the award by Middlesex County (if necessary), and approval of the NJ
Department of Labor and Division of Wage and Hour Compliance.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please call.
Very truly yours,
T&M ASSOCIATES
