RFP #2026 — 005 Bid Results and Recommendation Dear Mr. Nowak We have evaluated the bids received on July 14th for the 2026 LIBRARY FOUNDATION REPAIR PROJECT which consists of the replacement of the failing soil retainers around the foundation of the Schertz Public Library. Two (2) were received as shown below. Dalrymple Gravel and Contracting Company Inc with a bid in the amount of $729,380.00, and Du -West Company Services with a bid in the amount of $729,473.80. Engineer's Estimate was in the amount of $241,367.72. During our evaluation of the bids, UNINTECH identified some irregularities. The extension of the unit prices for the Du -West Company Services bid did not match the bid form provided, and the summed amount was $699,607.82 which is different than their bid form, in addition their total cost of #356,382.00 for trench excavation safety protection appears to be significantly higher than the engineer's estimate and the competing bid. The Dalrymple Gravel and Contracting Company Inc unit prices for the traffic control appears to be significantly higher than the engineers estimate and greater than the competing bid by a 195% and the unit cost of the precast soil retainers exceeded the engineers estimate and the competing bid by 100%. This work is not along a street or right of way and should not have any traffic control except barricades in the parking lot. The preliminary bids received by UNINTECH during design for the precast The low bid was submitted by Dalrymple Gravel and Contracting Company Inc in the amount of $729,380.00. Our evaluation indicates that these bids are not in line with the scope of work. Therefore, we recommend the contract not be awarded at this time.
