Information Type Information File Attachments Subject 10.3 Homestead Marquee Meeting May 6, 2024 - Oswego Community Unit School District 308 Board of Education Meeting Category 10. Information Type Information BACKGROUND: Homestead Elementary School would like to replace their current marquee with a digital version in front of the school. Unfortunately, previous administration did not realize that prior approval was needed from the Board of Education since it was solely funded by their PTA association. The sign was ordered and a deposit was already made. Installation for the new marquee was set to take place in the Spring 2024. When administration became aware of this situation, they directed Nathan Baldwin (Current Homestead Principal) to obtain two (2) additional quotes for the marquee. QUOTE RESULTS: The following quotes were received for the Homestead marquee: Aurora Sign Company $31,125.00 Lino Express Signs $31,998.25 Corrective Digital Display $26,796.00 RECOMMENDATION: Administration recommends Corrective Digital Display be awarded the contract for the Homestead marquee project in the amount of $26,796.00. Funding has been secured for the original quote of $25, 296.00 from the Homestead Elementary PTA. An additional $1,500.00 would still need to be secured for the adjustments to the base of the Marquee. Homestead Elementary would be responsible for paying for the required permits.

Information Type Information BACKGROUND: The work will include: removal and replacement of concrete flatwork at the following schools: Boulder Hill, Brokaw, Churchill, Eastview, Long Beach, Plank and Prairie Point. Approximate square footage over the seven sites is 35,000 SF. BID RESULTS: On April 17, 2024, bids were publicly opened and read aloud for the above referenced project. Two contractors chose to submit bids for the project. The low base bid was submitted by Design Developers & Rehab, Inc. from Forest Park, Illinois in the amount of $620,000. The second lowest base bid was submitted by Abbey Construction Co., Inc. from Aurora, Illinois in the amount of $934,000. See attached bid tabulation for details on bid results. Kluber conducted a Contractor Bid Scope Review with the lowest bidder and believed their bid to be non-responsive in that it appears to be missing significant scope. Additionally, the references we checked indicated work completed for those references were not performed in a satisfactory manner. The only other bid received appears to adequately cover the scope, however we cannot confirm whether their costs are competitive in the absence of other responsive bids. RECOMMENDATION: Administration recommends to reject all bids and do a rebid for this project based on there only being one bid that adequately covered the scope of the project.
