The new building would be used to store rescue boats and communication trailers. Currently, the rescue boats are being double stacked and some of the trailers are not sitting outside. By having the additional building will allow all trailers to be inside and therefore making deployment of these assets easier and in much timely manner. The City went out for bids and on May 15, 2018 opened bids but did not award due to all bids being over budget. Since the bids were over budget, Council rejected all bids at their June 25, 2018 council meeting. Recently, LPFD personnel revised the scope and sent the project back out for bids. Sealed Bid #19005 was opened and publicly read on Thursday, January 10, 2019 at 2.00 p.m. Seventy-seven (77) vendors were notified of the bid with forty-five (45) accessed the bid. Thirty-seven (37) vendors actually downloaded the bid documents. Only one vendor responded to the bid, which is attached for your review. Action Required by Council: La Porte Fire Department is requesting Council to award bid #19005 to Aztec Remodeling for the price of $70,000.
