Building committee recommends awards for multiple bid packages; motions carried by voice vote
Summary
At the Aug. 13 meeting the building committee recommended awarding multiple trade bid packages for the elementary and middle‑high school work; motions were moved, seconded, and carried by voice vote (record shows 'Aye' and 'Motion carries').
The Middletown Building Committee voted by voice to recommend award of multiple trade bid packages on Aug. 13, forwarding the recommendations to the appropriate owner/contract authority. Each motion was moved and seconded during the meeting and carried on a voice vote. The committee recorded the following recommendations to award:
- Elementary school — Painting (bid package): Recommendation to award Joseph Tavone Painting, $389,000. The amount is $73,700 above the 60% construction‑document budget of $315,300; alternates 3 (renovate first‑floor toilet room) and 4 (new elevator) are carried in the base bid. Three bidders; alternates carried within the base bid will be credited back if not exercised.
- Elementary school — Electrical (bid package): Recommendation to award East Bay Power, $546,910.94. That is $3,410.76 above the 60% CD budget of $543,500.18. Colliers recommended holding alternate 3 (renovate first‑floor toilet room, $36,399.26) and alternate 4 (new elevator, $64,138.73).
- Middle‑high school — Millwork (6B): Recommendation to award Continental Woodcraft, $1,471,697. That is $108,837 above the 60% CD budget of $1,362,860. No alternates or allowances applied; WBE participation reported at 31.52%.
- Middle‑high school — Painting (9I): Recommendation to award W.F. Shea & Company, $988,400. That is $63,125 below the 60% CD budget of $1,051,525; W.F. Shea reported 40% NDE participation.
- Middle‑high school — Window treatments (12A): Recommendation to award Manginaro Northeast LLC, $244,700. That is $20,400 below the 60% CD budget of $265,100. No MBE/WBE participation reported for this package.
Each recommendation was moved, seconded and carried on a voice vote recorded as "Aye. Motion carries." The minutes do not record a roll‑call vote or individual member votes for these packages. Several bidders and participation percentages were called out during procurement review; the committee requested that alternates and MBE/WBE participation be clearly noted as they appear in the contract documents.
Next steps: the building committee recommended forwarding the awards for contract processing consistent with procurement and contract procedures; alternates held by the owner will be processed per the bid documents and credits will be issued if alternates are not exercised.
