in favor hi hi hios contract award for the replacement of gas Services phase 2024 at Maple Gardens eoh LC number 0951 92 recommended action award contract to the second lowest bid hydr mechanical ink in the amount of $5,650 contingent upon final
appr approval of EO hlc we also have a letter coming from yeah this was a letter um from stock Associates okay this was a uh the
were reviewed um and because the lowest bidder received an unfavorable evaluation from one of our sister communities um it was determined that the lowest bidder would not be recommended um because of that evaluation I believe the minimum score was 80 and I think they scored like 30 Ian so pretty pretty bad evaluation
and that's why we are uh recommending that the contract be awarded to the second lowest bidder um hydromechanical ink any discussion I I do have a question on this has the low viter been notified that they will not be awarded the project yes usually
uh we send the letter out notifying them do you know if they withdrew their bid or if they plan to file a bid protest I don't believe they withdrew it and I couldn't tell you if they plan on filing a pro a big protest but they were informed um that letter should have been generated from the modernization Department as it was discussed uh
prior last week so that answers your question yeah no I'm I you know being familiar with the protest often times when the low bidder is told they're not going to be selected they will either withdraw their bid or they'll fire a protest so I was just wondering if if either
had happened B that's all yeah they filed the bid with the the AG's office correct the local AG's office they with the Inspector General inspector General's office so it's a Lo we we haven't received any notification that no it would can I if a bid protest on construction go would be with the AG with de Anderson okay that's what I'm confusing the ig's doesn't deal with B protests anymore they have you go to court okay and we never receive they longer deal with it administratively in the house perfect but we have had some
in the past where we've rejected the low because of horrendous and they don't and they don't file anything you know they don't they don't always protest because usually when they usually they agree with the information that's there well I think initially they give you push back and then when you show them what exactly exactly discovered they will often times say okay I then I'm going to withdraw my bid or in the investig process with
de Anderson where she collects and they call I think she kind of alludes to the fact that listen you're welcome to file the fee but you know there I do I am in I am in possession of some information blah regarding the background checks you know so but I have had some where they don't bid Pro you know protest afterwards but you're right sometimes they will withdraw their bid I'm just wondering if any of that had happened that's already been like done and commissioner uh we have not
received anything I have not uh it would be probably quick since I think it only went out last last week well it appears to me from the information that I have is that uh the lowest bidder had previously had to decam it's in the it's in the letter that was on the table um their DeCamp certification was suspended
um um yes prior and now we have this new evaluation that just came in and if you look at that that will be reviewed and if at the state level they just say well maybe we'll not certify him again I'm not sure where that is but uh if they were still uncertified they would not have applied for the project because that would have been what the price 150 no no probably not it was re why this company was allowed to bid
because it was under 150 it's under 150 if it was over 150 then it would have eliminated so there's no decamps required just asking I wouldn't want to see us say sure go ahead and then something comes up afterwards that's all I appreciate that any further discussion have we had any work completed by them that company we did we did how far back cuz this is from 2017 i a b RS uh the first
the one that has the buyers has has done a couple of projects for us uh probably closer to 10 years ago okay yeah yeah cuz this is seven eight years so I just didn't know if we had anything in the inter room all right they got some bad grades I don't want to be uh I've worked with them oneon-one understood we'll leave it at that leave it at that you worked with them oh that's good
need a vote please just need to take a vote yep we have a uh a motion to uh accept the second lowest bid at $5,650 contingent on e o hlc I'll make motion uh to accept uh the second lowest bidder hydromechanical in the amount of 11 15,6 $45 uh contingent
upon final approval by eoh LC second motion made and seconded all those in favor I I opposed permission to advertise for boiler replacement of five boilers in one complete building block at Duan appon I'll make a motion to Pro
approve the uh permission to advertise for boiler replacement at duelan apartments second discussions all those in favor I I permission to advertise for video security modernization systems with new hanoa equipment at Duan Apartments I I have a some questions on this too I just want
to know is the Hana equipment is that like a proprietary system which limits the bids that can come in sure that is not proprietary but most of our sites have that uh so we kind of want to be consistent uh with all of our sites with the same equipment for replacement parts and things like that that be interested to see what we get from what I understand even though there are other there are
multiple suppliers who can supply the particular because as you can imagine the replacement parts and all that so I think Eddie Muki is trying to keep it consistent because of the nature of what we got here I'd just be interested in seeing the bids when they come in to see if it's just you know I can I'll ask them tomorrow yeah if you get into the proprietary systems a lot of times you just close a lot of other people out um I don't know if that's the best system I don't know I don't know that much about it but uh like when you ask for specific
equip it seems like can be a little uh uh just so you know commissioner we've done that in the past I think since you've been on it would be noted on there we would be seeking permission for proprietary bidding if that's what we needed to do so you would know that ahead of time okay yeah any other discussion I get a motion motion to approve second
