• Price • Demolition time schedule • Qualifications ~ Recycling After review of the demolition proposals, the two low proposers were asked to clarify their costs with respect to 70, 80 and 90% recycling efforts. In order to provide adequate time for contractors and staff to review recycling proposals, the contract award a.nd startup date was delayed. Base on the analysis of the new information, submitted by both contractors, the review team believes it is in the county's interest to encourage a 90% recycling program. The contract was scheduled to be awarded on Aprii 16, 1997. However, an objection was filed by Northwest Demolition & Dismantling questioning the fairness of the review/selection process. The awazd was delayed one week in order to give the affected contractors and staff attomeys time to evaluate the selection process. At issue, was the request by the owner's agent, Mr. Dan Berrey, to have the two finalists submit additional information on their recycling plans. Sta.ff attorneys have concluded that the RFP process gives the owners flexibility to review and clarify contract proposals. Both finalists were given the same amended requests regarding recycling plans and both fmalists took advantage of changes in specifications and the startup date to submit new cost proposals. It appears from the aznended proposals that both contractors benefitted from our request for additional information. Informafion contained in the proposals regarding recycling efforts were not detailed enough to allow for a complete analysis. The two finalists were contacted, asked questions regarding their proposals and subsequently requested to submit additional information related to recycling and starlup dates. Should there be a continued challenge to the contract award on the basis of the modified recycling plan, the county has the option to award the contract on the basis on the original "base proposal amount" only. Since further delays would have a substantial impact on the project schedule, this option represents a viable alternative even though recycling efforts would be reduced. Recommendation: It is the recommendation of the review committee that the contract for demolition of the Senator Block be awarded to Staton Construction of Eugene Oregon. Staton's base cost proposal was for $547,489. The proposal at the 90% recycling level is $518,579.
