Rationale: This is to authorize the award of a capital fund construction contract, per IFB 6985 “Site upgrades” at Robert C. Dodson School to Paladino Concrete Creations for $88,091.00 and a term of 365 calendar days.

The work is being done under the City of Yonkers DPW Contract 2022-0777, “2022 Public Right of Way Improvements” with Paladino under bid unit prices.

Originally, this work was let for bid by IFB 6985 “Site upgrades” at Robert C Dodson School. There were 2 bidders, the lowest of which was non-responsive and ineligible for award. The next low bidder was at $278,000.00 which was far beyond the budget for this work. All bids were rejected and the district engaged Paladino under their standing COY DPW contract.

Using the bid unit prices therein the work came to $88,091.00 including a $10,000 contingency item. A net saving of $189,909.00.

The work was designed by Fuller & D’Angelo architects who estimated the work to be $121,000.00.

The project includes but is not limited to saw cutting and providing needed asphalt base for playground, removal of site amenities, grading and seeding of the field area and other requisite site work. The work has to be substantially completed before the school reopens after the summer break.
