Title: CP4 Annual Covered Walkway Procurement Bid

Recommendation:
I recommend the School Board approve the award of a bid for a period of two (2) years from June 29, 2006 through June 28, 2008 renewable for an additional three (3)  one year periods, in an amount Not-To-Exceed $6,000,000 to Walker Design & Construction Company and authorize the Superintendent and Board Chairman to sign all required documents.

Description:

This project will consist of services for the design, obtaining building permits, fabrication and construction of lighted, aluminum walkway covers over existing and new sidewalks at facilities throughout the School District.  “Despite the fact that we received only one bid, Walker's quote of $43/sf is in line with the current price of $41/sf currently being paid for other projects.  We consider this price to be very reasonable considering the fact that Walker has to hold the price for two (2) years.”

Financial Impact:
The financial impact is Not-To-Exceed $6,000,000. The source of funds is the Minor Capital Project Budget.
