Re: REROOFING BID
ANNISTON MUSEUM OF NATURAL HISTORY
Mr. Folks,
We received bids on January 14th, 2021 at 2:00 pm for the above referenced project. I present the following
information for your consideration:
• The project budget was estimated at $500,000
• On bid day GMC Blue Service presented a base bid of $380,000, with alternate #1 at $3,500 and
alternate #2 at $18,500
• An email from GMC Blue Service was received in my office on January 22nd, 2021, and indicated
they had an error in their bid. This error would escalate their base bid to $442,000. With a total bid,
including all alternates, of $464,000.
• Alabama Roofing base bid was $396,000 with alternate #1 at $0, and Alternate #2 at $146,300.
With a total bid, including all alternates, of $542,300
• Bond construction company base bid was $483,000.00 with alternate #1 and #2 at $0.
• I received an email from Bond Construction on January 26th, 2021 that confirmed the accuracy of
their bid proposal.
With the information currently available, it is our recommendation that the Owner accept all
alternates and award the project to Bond Construction Company as the lowest responsive and
apparent low bidder at $483,000 which is within the projected budget.
We do not recommend that the Owner keep GMC Blue Services’ bid bond.
Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Bill Whittaker, AIA
