PURPOSE: To authorize the County Manager to reject all bids for the Remediation of the John
M. Link, Jr. Government Services Center project that were opened on Thursday, September 5,
2019, and to rebid the project.
BACKGROUND: Over a period of time, the John M. Link, Jr. Government Services Center
facility has developed a number of water intrusion issues related to deficiencies in the building
envelope. Earlier this year, plans and specifications were developed to address these issues,
and the project was advertised for bids in August 2019, with the primary purpose of the project
being remediation of the water intrusion issues and effects thereof. Bids for the project were
opened on Thursday, September 5, 2019, with the result of an apparent low bid of $4,286,300.
Upon review of the apparent low bid, County staff re-evaluated the County's needs related to
the project and bid evaluation and determined that more information is needed from all bidders
to thoroughly and diligently examine the project bids. Due to the size of the project, Board of
Commissioners' approval is required to reject the bids.

September 5, 2019, and authorize the Manager to notify all bidders and rebid the project.
