<br />Mr. Joel ~lbrecht <br />Bay Forest Golf Clubhouse <br />10 March 1988 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />We have analyzed all three bids and did a Bid Comparison to <br />determine if the low bidderhad any major flaws; we found no <br />omissions or obvious errors in their Base Bid. We did discover <br />however, two peculiarities in Builders Construction's bids for <br />the Alternates. Their bid for Alternate No. 2 (the installation <br />of a fire sprinkler system) is $6,000. This bid is approximately <br />$10,000 lower than the majority of all the other bidders. The <br />bid, we discovered, was an error (typographical), but Builders <br />Construction stated that they would honor their bid should the <br />City of La Porte select that Alternate. Their other bid for <br />Alternate No. 3 (the substitution of a plywood soffit for the <br />plaster soffit) is an Add of $1,570. This was a surprise since <br />we were expecting a Deduction for the substitution. Their explana- <br />tion was that they do the plaster work with their own personnel, <br />and it would actually behoove them to do the soffits in plaster. <br /> <br />Should the City of La Porte want to consider the Alternates as <br />bid by Builders Construction, we then recommend the acceptance <br />of Alternates No.1 and No.3. We don't recommend Alternate No.2 <br />for the afore mentioned reasons, nor do we recommend Alternate <br />No. 4 (Burglar Alarm System) because we believe that bid is too <br />high, and could be negotiated substantially lower. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />~'-~~ <br /> <br />Rey de la Reza, Principal <br />REV DE LA REZA AlA-ARCHITECTS <br /> <br />cc John Joerns, Asst.
