TRAFFIC CALMING IMPROVEMENTS
TO:
RE:
DATE:
24 June, 1999
On Wednesday, June 23,1999, the City of Winter Springs received bids for the
construction of traffic calming devices at various locations in the Western portion
of the City. Copies of the bids were supplied to my office for review.
EVALUATION OF RESPONSIVENESS
The low bidder, APEC,lnc (American Persian Engineers and Constructors) did
not provide a Florida Trench Safety Act Statement; however, this requirement
may be waived as there are no trenches to be constructed or protected under
this contract. Otherwise the required bid forms were complete and the bid may
be considered responsive.
EVALUATION QF RESPONSIBILITY
The low bidder APEC did not provide insurance with its bid, failed to provide the
required documentation relative to its financial ability to execute the work and did
not provide references. All of these documents are required for the evaluation of
responsibility of the contractor and, while normally a part of the bid package, may
be submitted after opening of the bids but before the award of the contract.
The following is a summary of the two bids received. Both bids met the criteria
for responsiveness.
Contractor Base Bid Price
Cathcart Construction Co. $326,900.00
AP.E.C. $108,231.20
The Engineer provided the City with a budget estimate of $125,000.00. An
attached bid tabulation is provided for your review.
EPEC,lnc. has not performed previous work for the City, therefore a review of all
facets of bidder responsibility must be addressed prior to awarding the contract
to this bidder. No references for the evaluation of previous work 'Were given.
FU~DING
The bid of $108,231.20 is above the amount approved for this project in the
Capital Improvements General Fund. The budgeted amount was $75,000.

RECOMMENDATION:
If the additional funds necessary to construct this project are authorized, it is
recommended that the City notify APEC,lnc. that it is the apparent low bidder on
this contract and request that all necessary information to prove bidder
responsibility be supplied immediately. We should review, in detail, the
contractor's proof of its ability to enter into a contract agreement to perform the
work under this contract and to provide the necessary insurance. This must be
done prior to the award of the contract.
