Authorization
REQUEST: Utility Department Requesting Approval to Direct Purchase the Buildings
previously awarded under bid #ITB-013/08/KL to Conrad Construction, Inc.
to realize sales tag savings.
PURPOSE: The purpose of this Board item is to request authorization to direct purchase the
pre-engineered metal building from Florida Metal building Services of Ocala in
the amount of $134,613 in order to save the sales tax which will result in an
estimated reduction of $142,689.78 from the contract with Conrad Construction,
Inc. of Sanford.
CONSIDERATIONS:
This agenda item is needed to take advantage of a potential sales tax savings by
direct purchasing two pre-engineered metal buildings. The City Commission authorized
the award of Bid #ITB 013/08/KL to Conrad Construction of Sanford on September 22,
2008. The value of the contract is $538,982 to supply and install two pre-engineered
metal buildings including the necessary site work.
Conrad Construction contacted the City to gauge the interest in direct purchasing
the metal buildings in order to save sales tax. The potential savings amount to about
$8,126. The metal building vendor is Florida Metal Building Services of Ocala and the
purchase amount would be $134,613. The buildings will be delivered COD on April 24,
2009. All warranty provisions will still apply to Conrad Construction.
FUNDING:
No additional funding is needed. The potential savings is projected at $8,126.78.
This project is funded from the Utility/Public Works Capital Project Fund - 311-65000-
