1. DPF updated the PBC on Bid results for the Interim Fire Station. $ GC bids were received,
$1,690,000; $1,793,100; $1,860,000; and $1,985.00 to $1,985,000. The low bid is over the estimate by
$42,000 but the team believes there is enough flexibility on the overall budget to move forward.
The HVAC Filed sub bid was well below estimate however the architect will review the scope with the
bidder and the make sure the bidder is confident that his bid is good to go.
DPF advised that GC references are being checked and presuming they are positive would like the PBC
recommendation on award.
Motion to approve the award of the Interim Fire Station Construction to United Builders, the low
bid, subject to the further review and confirmation of the HVAC bid and GC references.
Motion made, seconded and approved with no objections.
Post meeting note; the HVAC bidder and architect did review scope and HVAC bidder is standing by his
bid, Likewise the GC reference check came back with excellent references.
2. DPF reviewed a slide presentation showing a few brief updates to the overall fire station design
that have come from working group meetings with the Fire Chief and Adjunct Fire PBC Members.
Noted items discussed were:
Brick lines and patterns, Reduction in pre-cast surrounds, museum entrance Arch shapes of entry's and
overhead doors, eyebrow dormer vs shed dormer vs no dormer, adding lettering to the frieze over the
