SUBJECT:
Resolution to accept the bid of $129,370.00 from Elens & Maichin Roofing from Joliet, IL as the lowest qualified bid for replacing the roof at the Aurora Central Fire Station.
PURPOSE:
To accept the bid of $129,370.00 from Elens & Maichin Roofing from Joliet, IL as the lowest qualified bid to replace the existing roof at the Aurora Central Fire Station (75 N. Broadway St).
BACKGROUND:
The Aurora Central Fire Station was built and opened in 1980 the existing roof has been repaired in several places numerous times in past years. Based on an evaluation by the contractor that performs the spot repairs, the roof has deteriorated enough that the roof membrane warrants replacement.
DISCUSSION:
The existing roof at central fire station leaks in several areas of the building. As a result ceiling and wall covering materials have sustained damage. An inspection of the roof by a local vendor revealed numerous spots that are leaking which has resulted in water migrating into several areas of the station. These leaks may damage the station structure, furnishings and equipment if left unrepaired. A specification for roof replacement was developed and COA purchasing assisted the AFD with receiving bids for the roof replacement (see bid tabulation 14-16 attached).
I have reviewed the bid from Elens & Maichin Roofing and Sheet metal, Inc for completeness, I have reviewed the Illinois Department of Labor website without finding any negative information and I have received very positive feedback from all 3 of the references listed. I feel their bid is responsive, complete and recommend that we accept their bid for the Central Fire station roof project.
