Award contract IFB 05022022 Fairgrounds Site Improvements Phase 1 project to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Background Information
The fairgrounds located at 900 Fairgrounds Road in Globe used to host horse racing events. Since the sunset of those events, the racetrack posts and railing are fallen into disrepair and are no longer required. The announcer booth is beyond economic repair and six outbuildings need to be demolished so the space can be better utilized for events. The Phase 1 Fairgrounds Site Improvements project will demolish and remove the old racetrack, outbuildings, and announcer booth. IFB 05022022 was advertised to the public and a mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on June 8, 2022, in which nine contractors were present.
Evaluation
7 Bids were opened and reviewed and 6 of the 7 bids were responsive. Staff recommends awarding the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
Conclusion
In order to commence with the site improvements and begin and complete the first phase of the site improvement project, it is necessary to award a contract so the work can be completed prior to the Gila County fair in September 2022.
Recommendation
Staff recommends contract award.
Suggested Motion
Information/Discussion/Action to award Contract No. 05022022 to Dixon Rock in the amount of $19,580 for the Fairgrounds Site Improvements Phase 1 project. (Mary Springer)
