Fairmont Parkway <br /> La Porte, Texas 77571 <br /> Re: Brookglen Detention Ponds <br /> La Porte Bid No. 11020 <br /> Klotz Associates Project No. 0127.013.000 <br /> Dear Mr. Garza: <br /> The City of La Porte received bids for the above referenced project on April 5, 2011. Seven (7) <br /> bids were received, opened and analyzed. We have reviewed all seven (7) bids. There were <br /> minor discrepancies between the multiplication of unit price and quantities for the three (3) of <br /> the highest bidders and the apparent low bidder. None of these discrepancies were substantial <br /> enough to affect the order of bidders from low to high. All of the bids were determined to be <br /> responsive based on completeness. <br /> The low bidder was Paskey, Inc. The Paskey bid as written is $298,053.91 for both the base bid <br /> and the alternate bid totals. The discrepancy in the Paskey bid was in bid item 37, Native Shrubs <br /> in the unit price. The figure used was $99.07 with a resulting total of $10,204.21. However, the <br /> written amount for the unit price was $999.00 resulting in a total of $102,904.21. In the <br /> Instructions to Bidders, Article 16.2 states that "discrepancies between words and figures will be <br /> resolved in the favor of the words ". <br /> We had multiple phone conversations and received written verification from Mr. Paskey stating <br /> that his intention was $99.07 for the unit price and he would honor the total written price of <br /> $298,053.91 for the project. There is also a small mathematical error of $30.00 concerning the <br /> total bid price as shown on Paskey's bid form. The correct total bid price should be $298,083.91 <br /> which is an increase of $30.00 from the total shown on the submitted bid form. We have <br /> compared the Paskey bid to the other bids and the difference in his total bid price is a cumulative <br /> effect of his unit prices being lower on basically all items in the bid. Mr. Paskey is satisfied with <br /> his total bid price and with using the unit price of $99.07 for bid item 37. <br /> • <br />
