Summary
Project manager Chuck Warrick and City Clerk Scott Passi opened bids for the Public Works Operations Center administration building; GenCap submitted the lowest base bid at $7,158,000. Eleven firms submitted bids, each accompanied by a 5% bid bond and acknowledgements of Addendums 1–6.
Chuck Warrick, project manager for the Public Works Operations Center (PLOC), opened a public bid opening and said he would verify each submission’s bid security and signature before the packets were processed.
Scott Passi, the City Clerk, read aloud the amounts submitted by contractors. GenCap Corporation submitted the lowest base bid at $7,158,000, with an alternate of $106,000 and a combined total of $7,264,000. Other base bids ranged from $7,236,300 (CDA Construction Services Inc.) to $8,831,179 (TCL Construction Services); all bids were accompanied by 5% bid bonds and acknowledged Addendums 1 through 6.
Why it matters: the numbers reported at the opening establish the pool of competitive offers for the administration building for the Public Works Operations Center. Warrick said he will first confirm that each bid includes required bid security and signatures before the submissions are processed further.
Details from the opening: Scott read the base bids, the listed alternate for the north entrance canopy (when provided) and the combined totals as submitted.

Warrick noted one submission had hard-to-read handwriting and staff read the numbers as presented.
No award or contract decision was made at the opening itself. Warrick described the immediate next step as an administrative review: "I will review the bid for, to make sure that it includes a bid security and that the bid is signed and then turned it over to Scott for reading the numbers." Scott added that the session was being recorded and "it should be available on YouTube, sometime today."
