Anderson Plz. <br /> Decatur,IL 62523-1196 <br /> RE: CHILLER REPLACEMENT <br /> DECATUR PUBLIC LIBRARY <br /> (AEX#6748) <br /> Dear Mr. Kindseth: <br /> Bids were received for the Chiller Replacement at the Decatur Public Library on Thursday,December 15,2023. <br /> A total of four(4)bids were received. <br /> The lowest bidder was E.L.Pruitt Company with a base bid of$1,574,457.00. <br /> • E.L. Pruitt is a well-established mechanical contracting company based out of Springfield,IL with a <br /> branch office/shop in Decatur. <br /> • They require 365 days to reach substantial completion. <br /> • E.L.Pruitt will be acting as the general contractor for this project. <br /> The next lowest bidder was King-Lar Company with a base bid of$1,618,000.00. This bid is 2.8%higher than <br /> the low bid. <br /> An alternate bid was included in the project to add sound attenuation on the chiller. E.L. Pruitt's alternate bid <br /> amount is $7,500.00. It is AEX's opinion that this alternate be accepted because of the low cost for this noise <br /> reduction feature. <br /> Assuming a notice to proceed is issued on 2/5/24,the estimated substantial completion date is calculated to be <br /> 2/5/25. This schedule allows the work to occur during the heating season and the new system would be <br /> operational before the start of the cooling season in 2025. <br /> A copy of the bid tabulation sheet is attached. <br />
