RE: Marathon Park Marina Roof Bids
Dear Steve,
I have reviewed the bids for the Marathon Park Marina Roof. Four bids were received as follows:
Base Bid Alternate #3 Total
Keys Roofing
Lawnar Roofing South
Ryan Construction
D&J Industries
$ 86.684.40
S 86,809.00
S 87,000.00
$122,700.00
$23.695.00
$ 9,656.00
$14.000.00
$16,000.00
$110,379.40
S 96,465.00
$101.000.00
$138.700.00
In addition to price. 1 have considered qualifications, past perfonnance and other factors. I have
on file, a letter from David Koppel written to D&J Industries notifYing them that D&J is
prohibited from being awarded any Monroe County Contracts far 1 year. Therefore, I have
disqualified D&J Induslncs from consideration for award. Of the remaining 3 bidders. Ryan
Construction did not technically acknowledge addendums #1 and #2., although he did sign ilia bid
fonn directly under the acknowledgment area.. Since he picked up his bid documents after
Addendum # 1 was issued. and since he completed the bid fonn as instructed in the addendum, I
have determined that he did receive the addendums. Therefore; I consider this discrepancy to be a
minor irregularity and have determined his bid to be responsive.. In considering these three bids. I
ga.ve consideration to available funds as well and have determined that Monroe County has the
ability to award the base bid and Alternate Number 3, the gutter and downspout system.
Based on. the above, it is my recommendation to award the base bid and Alternate Bid No.3 to
Laumar Roofing South. Inc. for a total bid price of$96.465.00
Please call if you have nay questions.

equipment and shall include proof of required insurance. Such application for payment shall be
signed by the contractor and shall constitute the contractor's representation that the work has
progressed to the level for which payment is requested in accordance with the schedule of
values, that the work has been properly installed or performed in full accordance with this
FIXED PRICE CONTRACT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR
00500 - 4
contract, and that the contractor knows of no reason why payment should not be made as
requested. Thereafter, the architect will review the application for payment and may also
review the work at the project site or elsewhere to determine whether the quantity and quality of
the work is as represented in the application for payment and is as required by this contract.
The architect shall determine and certify to the owner the amount properly owing to the
contractor. The owner shall make partial payments on account of the contract price to the
contractor within twenty (20) days following the receipt by Monroe County Construction
Manager, of each application for payment, from the Architect. The amount of each partial
payment shall be the amount certified for payment by the architect less such amounts, if any,
otherwise owing by the contractor to the owner or which the owner shall have the right to
withhold as authorized by this contract. The architect's certification of the contractor's
application for payment shall not preclude the owner from the exercise of any of its rights as set
forth in paragraph 5.3 hereinbelow.
5.2.4 The contractor warrants that all payments to subcontractors have been made as
certified on the application for payment and that title to all work covered by an application for
payment will pass to the owner no later than the time of payment. The contractor further
warrants that upon submittal of an application for payment, all work for which payments have
been received from the owner shall be free and clear of liens, claims, security interest or other
encumbrances in favor of the contractor or any other person or entity whatsoever.
5.2.5 The contractor shall promptly pay each subcontractor, out of the amount paid to the
contractor on account of such subcontractor's work, the amount to which such subcontractor is
entitled. If the contractor does not pay the subcontractor the amount due, the subcontractor
may only seek payment from the contractor's public construction bond surety. In no event is
the owner obligated to pay any subcontractor an amount owed to it by the contractor.
Language similar to this paragraph 5.2.5 must appear in all contracts between the contractor
and its subcontractors.
5.2.6 No progress payment, nor any use or occupancy of the project by the owner, shall be
interpreted to constitute an acceptance of any work not in strict accordance with this contract.
5.3 Withheld Payment
5.3.1 The owner may decline to make payment, may withhold funds, and, if necessary, may
demand the return of some or all of the amounts previously paid to the contractor, to protect the
owner from loss because of:
(a) defective work not remedied by the contractor nor, in the opinion of the owner,
likely to be remedied by the contractor;
(b)
(c)
fashion;
claims of third parties against the owner or the owner's property;
failure by the contractor to pay subcontractors or others in a prompt and proper
(d) evidence that the balance of the work cannot be completed in accordance with
the contract for the unpaid balance of the contract price;
(e) evidence that the work will not be completed in the time required for substantial
or final completion;
FIXED PRICE CONTRACT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR
00500 - 5
(f) persistent failure to carry out the work in accordance with the contract;
(g) damage to the owner or a third party to whom the owner is, or may be, liable.
In the event that the owner makes written demand upon the contractor for amounts
previously paid by the owner as contemplated in this subparagraph 5.3.1, the contractor shall
promptly comply with such demand.
5.4 Unexcused Failure to Pay
5.4.1 If within twenty (20) days after the pate established herein for payment to the contractor
by the owner, the owner, without cause or basis hereunder, fails to pay the contractor any
amount then due and payable to the contractor, then the contractor may after seven (7)
additional days' written notice to the owner and the architect, and without prejudice to any other
available rights or remedies it may have, stop the work until payment of those amounts due
from the owner have been received.
5.5 Substantial Completion
5.5.1 When the contractor believes that the work is substantially complete, the contractor shall
submit written notice that the project is ready for substantial completion inspection. The
architect, on the basis of contractor's notice, shall determine that the work is in fact substantially
complete, and report findings to the Construction Manager. The Construction Manager will
inspect the work and will be the final judge as to whether substantial completion has been
achieved. The Architect will prepare a certificate of substantial completion which shall establish
the date of substantial completion, shall state the responsibilities of the contractor for project
security, maintenance, heat, utilities, damage to the work, and insurance, and shall fix the time
within which the contractor shall complete the items listed therein. The certificate of substantial
completion shall be submitted to the contractor for written acceptance of the responsibilities
assigned to them in such certificate. Upon substantial completion of the work and execution by
both the owner and the contractor of the certificate of substantial completion, the owner shall
pay the contractor an amount sufficient to increase total payments to the contractor to one
hundred percent (100%) of the contract price less five percent (5%) retention and less three
hundred percent (300%) of the reasonable cost as determined by the owner and the architect
for completing all incomplete work, correcting and bringing into conformance all defective and
nonconforming work, and handling all unsettled claims. The certificate of substantial
completion shall not be signed by the Construction Manager unless accompanied by a signed ~
certificate of occupancy from all governing authorities.
5.6 Completion and Final Payment
5.6.1 When all of the work is finally complete and the contractor is ready for a final inspection,
it shall notify the owner and the architect thereof in writing. Thereupon, the architect will make
final inspection of the work and, if work is complete in full accordance with this contract and this
contract has been fully performed, the architect will promptly issue a final certificate for payment
certifying to the owner that the project is complete and the contractor is entitled to the
remainder of the unpaid contract price, less any amount withheld pursuant to this contract.
Guarantees required by the contract shall commence on the date of final completion of the
work. If the architect is unable to issue its final certificate for payment and is required to repeat
its final inspection of the work, the contractor shall bear the cost of such repeat final
inspection(s) which cost may be deducted by the owner from the contractor's final payment.
FIXED PRICE CONTRACT BETWEEN OWNER AND CONTRACTOR
00500 - 6
5.6.1.1 If the contractor fails to achieve final completion within the time fixed therefor by the
architect in its certificate of substantial completion, the contractor shall pay the owner the sum
of $100.00 per day for the first 15 days, $200.00 per day for the second 15 days,
and $ 750.00 per day thereafter for each and every calendar day of unexcused delay in
achieving final completion beyond the date set forth herein for final completion of the work. Any
sums due and payable hereunder by the contractor shall be payable, not as a penalty, but as
liquidated damages representing an estimate of delay damages likely to be sustained by the
owner, estimated at or before the time of executing this contract. When the owner reasonably
believes that final completion will be inexcusably delayed, the owner shall be entitled, but not
required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise due the contractor an amount then believed
by the owner to be adequate to recover liquidated damages applicable to such delays. If and
when the contractor overcomes the delay in achieving final completion, or any part thereof, for
which the owner has withheld payment, the owner shall promptly release to the contractor those
funds withheld, but no longer applicable, as liquidated damages.
5.6.2 The contractor shall not be entitled to final payment unless and until it submits to the
architect its affidavit that all payrolls, invoices for materials and equipment, and other liabilities
connected with the work for which the owner, or the owner's property might be responsible,
have been fully paid or otherwise satisfied; releases and waivers of lien from all subcontractors
of the contractor and of any and all parties required by the architect or the owner; and the
consent of surety to final payment. The affidavits, releases and waivers required from
subcontractors and materialmen are for the administrative convenience of the owner only.
They do not create an obligation on the part of the owner to assure that any subcontractor or
materialman is paid. If unpaid, subcontractors and materialmen must seek payment from the
contractor's public construction bond surety.
5.6.3 The owner shall make final payment of all sums due the contractor per Section 01027 of
the Technical Specifications Project Manual.
5.6.4 Acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims against the owner by
the contractor except for those claims previously made in writing against the owner by the
contractor, pending at the time of final payment, and identified in writing by the contractor as
unsettled at the time of its request for final.payment.
