Recommendation of Award
Tt # 200-52528-13003
Dear Mr. Ratliff:
Four (4) bids were received by the City of Cape Canaveral (City) on June 30, 2016 for the above -referenced project.
R2T, Inc. was the apparent low bidder with a total bid of $2,412,060, with Florida Design Contractors,
L7 Construction, and Wharton Smith being the second, third, and fourth apparent lowest bidders at $2,574,000,
$2,687,700, and $2,982,380, respectively. The bid received from Wharton -Smith included a math error on Item 4
and was corrected. The bid tabulation listing each bid is attached hereto.
A request was made to the three low bidders to clarify and supplement the submitted similar projects requirement
of the bidding documents. Upon receipt of the requested information, R2T, Inc. was unable to produce projects
that meet the intent of the required qualifications. Conversely, Florida Design Contractors, 2nd low bidder, was
able to supplement projects and met the intent of the similar projects requirements stated in Section 00303.
References contacted for Florida Design Contractors were positive, with high marks for ability and professionalism.
They are a well-regarded general contractor with the local municipalities. Florida Design Contractors has also
recently completed a project for the City successfully. The consensus is that the projects performed by Florida
Design Contractors were completed to the satisfaction of the utility Owners. Based on the evaluation, our
recommendation is that the project be awarded to Florida Design Contractors in the amount of $2,574,000.
If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to call.
Very truly yours,
