Rationale: This resolution is to grant the administration the authority to enter into the subject contract. In compliance with General Municipal Law 103, this contract was let for public and bids were opened in public and read aloud on July 10, 2020.

CIP10812 includes the renovation of 8 former shop rooms into 10 SED standard classrooms, refurbished lighting in 6 stairwells, welding & painting the chimneys, sidewalk replacement outside the Arena and new roofing over the Music Room. The work was designed by Sammel Architects (CPL Architecture).

The apparent low bidder, SMAC Corp with a bid of $1,287,000.00 was granted permission to withdraw their bid after it was demonstrated that they had made mathematical errors.

The second low bidder at $1,573,000.00, APS Contracting, Inc. was interviewed to confirm they understood the project and their obligations and to ascertain their ability and willingness to do the job. As a result Schools Facilities Management are recommending the award of the subject contract to APS Contracting, Inc. CPL’s engineer’s estimate for this work is $1,882,900.
