BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Board of Commissioners approved the design of the Jail Infill Project to include interior upfits and improvements via Board Action 17-434. Design of the Jail Infill project has been completed and documents were released for public bidding purposes on November 20, 2018. The project was publicly advertised on November 20, 2018 and a bid opening was scheduled for December 20, 2018. Due to an insufficient number of bids, the bids were not opened on the bid date of December 20, 2018. The project was re-advertised publicly on December 27, 2018. Bids were received and publicly opened on January 17, 2019 with the following results:
Pinnix, Inc. Gastonia, NC $10,770,000
Leitner Construction Company Rock Hill, SC $11,800,000
Based on the bids received, this Board Action deems Pinnix, Inc. as the General Contractor submitting the lowest, responsive, responsible bid. Approval of this Board Action formally selects Pinnix, Inc. to perform construction work associated with the project, directs the County Attorney to draft all necessary contract documents, and authorizes the County Manager or his designee to execute said documents in an amount not to exceed $10,770,000.
