RE:

Contracts for Southeast High School Cafeteria Renovations

Bids were received on November 29, 2007 for expansion and renovations to Southeast High School Cafeteria.  Attached is the tabulation of the nine bids received.  The construction budget for this project is $1,381,843. 

The plans on this project were completed several years ago. Since that time Child Nutrition has requested the addition of more current ventilation and safety measures.  In order to accommodate that need and bring the project under the C-cap, GCS has requested Moser, Mayer, & Phoenix Associates, Architect modify the existing scope of expanding and renovating the cafeteria to include the addition of a new ventilation system and addition of an exhaust hood in the kitchen area.  The work shall include, but not be limited to; new heating and cooling ductwork, a new roof top unit, new electrical power requirements, new smoke duct detectors and a new fire suppression system for the new exhaust hood.  The change in completion date will not materially affect the operation of the school.    

RECOMMENDATION:  The administration recommends rejecting all bids for the expansion and renovations at Southeast High School Cafeteria due to a change of scope in the work to be performed.  Upon rejection approval, the project will be re-advertised.
