BACKGROUND
The Gaston County Board of Commissioners approved funding in the FY19-20 budget to complete ADA improvements at various County facilities. Due to age and continued usage of these facilities, the building and surrounding parking lots/landscaping are in disrepair and do not meet current accessibility requirements. Tindale Oliver previously conducted an in-depth study of various County Facilities and provided ADA remediation recommendations to Gaston County. Based on the results of that study, Biloba Architecture, PLLC and Robinson & Sawyer, Inc. designed the needed repairs and prepared bidding documents for public bidding purposes. The project was publicly advertised on November 3, 2019 and a bid opening was held November 21, 2019 with the following results:
Fairwood Construction: $ 364,413.00
Heartland Construction: $ 560,683.00
Tyler 2 Construction: $ 545,150.00
Based on the bids received, this Board Action deems Fairwood Construction as the contractor submitting the lowest responsible, responsive bid. Approval of this Board Action formally selects Fairwood Construction to perform the repair work associated with the project, directs the County Attorney to draft all necessary contract documents, and authorizes the County Manager or her designee to execute said documents for an amount not to exceed $364,413.00
