BW 2026-081 This Request of Bid Waiver is to engage Gavarrete Inc to implement repairs at the CGCC due to damages to the towers and roof by rains during hurricane season. The tower and roof repair portion of the job was initially included in invitation for bid IFB 2024-039 published August 27th, 2024 with Bid Due Date extended to October 14th, which resulted in NO BIDS. Procurement Bid Log attached. The due date was extended for lack of apparent interest in the job by Certified General Contractors. It was necessary to proceed with an emergency request due to the urgent nature of the required repairs. The Emergency request was approved in December, 2024. Quotes were requested to seven (7) contractors for the limited scope of work for tower. The response was: Four (4) Statements of No Bid and One (1) responsive Bid by Gavarrete Inc in the amount of $170,600. Tabulation attached (PO requisition was not approved). Another attempt to publish this scope for bids took place under IFB 2025-014 also resulting in NO BIDS in July 3, 2025. See attached log. Only the demolition portion of the effort was completed under separate Emergency Request approved October 2025 attached. A negotiation took place with Gavarrete on March 11th, 2026 for this job making sure all the scope is included resulting in a quote of $174,933.00 It will be in the best interest of the city to have Gavarrete Inc. do the repair work in CGCC for having knowledge of the Facility and proven responsiveness and responsibility.
