RE: Ocoee South Water Plant Construction Bids - Recommendation of Award
Dear Mr. Shira:
On May 10, 1991, the City of Ocoee received sealed construction bids for the referenced project
from ten (10) contractors. The attached tabulation of bids represents a summary of unit prices
by each respective Bidder. The bid tabulation shows Butler Construction Company as the
apparent low bidder with a total bid price of$1,067,635.00. The second apparent low bidder
is Wharton-Smith with a total bid price of $1,087,200.00, and the third apparent low bidder is
Lee Construction Company with a total bid price of$1,130,100.00. The highest total bid price
is $1,368,855.00 submitted by Travis Williams Contracting, while the Engineer's construction
estimate is $1,306,000.00 including contingencies. The bid proposals of the three apparent low
bidders are complete and properly executed. They have acknowledged receipt of all addenda
as prescribed and have submitted additional information to comply with other City bidding
requirements. We believe that these bid proposals are in conformance in all material respects
to the invitation for bids and are therefore responsive bids.
Based upon the information presented in the bid proposal Questionnaire, each of the three
apparent low bidders are licensed contractors in the State of Florida and seem to possess the
manpower and equipment necessary to perform the classes of work contemplated within the time
specified. We have also contacted the references listed in the Questionnaire for the lowest
bidder, Butler Construction Company. Each refernce gave a favorable response and indicated
that Butler Construction Company performed satisfactorily on their respective construction
projects. In addition, we have directly contacted Mr. Jeff Gibson and Mr. R.L. Hicks (Butler
Construction's Project Manager and Site Superintendent, respectively) and have conducted
personal interviews with them regarding their company's qualifications and abilities to perform
the work required for this project.

Based on our review of the qualification submittals from the apparent low bidder, our
conversations with the respective references and Butler Construction Company representatives,
and our analysis of the bid tabulation, it is our opinion that Butler Construction Company is the
lowest responsible, responsive bidder. Therefore, we recommend, provided that the City has
sufficient capital funds, and following receipt of the required FDER Construction Permit, that
the above referenced construction contract be awarded to Butler Construction Company based
upon the total bid proposal of $1,067,635.00.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact me at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,
PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS, INC.
