<br />Memorandum <br />September 18, 2008 <br />Page 2 <br /> <br />In order to assure that the quote from B & G Fences, Corp was competitive the City obtained <br />other quotes from separate contractors. The one of the quotes was much lower than the other <br />quotes that I previously received. Staff questioned the amount of the quote of $39 dollars a <br />linear foot which was out off the range of the other quotes. To assure that the lower quote was <br />not out of the range, I received another quote for the amount of$49.50 a linear foot which was in <br />the range of the other quotes. <br /> <br />In reviewing our records the contractor with the lowest quote had previously done work for the <br />City, but the workmanship and timely manner of the work was not performed to the standards of <br />the City. The quote for $49.50 a linear foot comes from a contractor that has not done business <br />with the City. The quote from B&G Fences, Corp. is competitive and lower than the original <br />proposals submitted from other companies when the original contract was awarded. B&G <br />Fences, Corp has done several projects for the City and has completed them on time and under <br />budget. In order to continue the fabrication and installation of the fence and complete the work <br />on schedule, staff recommends that the City amends the prior contract with B&G Fences, Corp <br />to include the additional scope of work, The project which includes fencing and landscaping is <br />on schedule and the time line of seven months to complete the project still remains the same. As <br />a point interest the Code Enforcement Department and Public Works Department have noticed a <br />reduction on the jaywalking in the area where the median fencing has already been located. <br /> <br />Funding for this project will be from account #20-600-5667. <br />
