Madison County awards chapel painting contract to A and P Painting LLC
Summary
Madison County commissioners approved a contract with A and P Painting LLC to repaint the chapel at the UC Santa campus after comparing three bids and adding scope for pressure washing, sealing and window reglazing.
Madison County commissioners approved awarding a contract to A and P Painting LLC for exterior work on the chapel at the UC Santa campus after reviewing competing bids and scope additions.
The commission approved the award after staff reported that A and P’s revised estimate of $35,750 was substantially lower than a competing bid of $62,700 and addressed additional exterior work the commission requested. "The AMP painting is 35,750, and the Maloney is 62,700," said Speaker 2, a Madison County staff member, during the discussion. Speaker 3, a Madison County commissioner, recommended awarding the work to A and P Painting LLC, saying, "I would recommend A and P Painting LLC for the work at the chapel." The motion was moved and seconded and approved by voice vote; exact tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
Why it matters: county officials said the revised A and P bid included new items the commission asked for after initial review, which narrowed the price gap with other bids and prompted the recommendation to proceed.
Details and scope: staff told commissioners that A and P added power washing and sealing for the concrete foundation, window wells and the building porches to address mildew staining. Staff also said the contractor agreed to reglaze multiple old windows — a task not included in all bids — and to perform other exterior repairs. The A and P bid rose from an original figure of about $31,000 after those additions, according to staff discussion.
Bidders and omissions: a third bidder, Custom Precision Cuts, did not include dry drywall repair in its proposal, making it not directly comparable on that specific scope item, staff said.
Timing and next steps: the contractor told staff it anticipated doing the exterior work before winter, with an approximate start in about three weeks, Speaker 3 said. The commission did not specify the funding source for the contract in the discussion recorded in the transcript.
Administrative note: the award was approved by voice vote after a motion and a second; the transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or a vote tally.
