Anderson Plaza <br /> Decatur, IL 62523 <br /> Re: City of Decatur <br /> Proposed Multi-Modal Transportation Building <br /> Bid Review <br /> Dear Mr. McChancey: <br /> This letter is to provide you with BLANK, WESSELINK, COOK &ASSOCIATES, INC. <br /> Review comments regarding the bid results for the Proposed Multi-Modal Transportation <br /> building. <br /> Upon review of the bids, we see no reason not to recommend that you accept the low bidder, <br /> i�ssociaiea i;onsiruciors. i his bici inctuaed an acKnowledgement of addendum �#1, addendum <br /> #2, a qualification statement, and a bid security bond, as required. <br /> Our review of Associated Constructor qualifications indicates that they are a solid company <br /> that has recently branched out into general contracting. The company's corporate office is in <br /> oI00i711i1yi�ii, 'vV�iil@ tFicii v8i ici"ai COi�ii'aCfii i� G�iC2 iS �n Fc�s�rth. They a�e a uricr �ortructer. <br /> Their references spoke highly of Associated Constructor's work quality and responsiveness. <br /> The size of this project seems to be an appropriate size for them based on their past and <br /> current work. <br /> Th� ^^�y apNarent negative is the compar�'S ��fi����G� �rack rr�cc�� aS 8 �E',�i6i c! ccntractcr. <br /> 1�V V111 <br /> However, this is offset by over nineteen years of contracting experience by Randy Henderson, <br /> Vice President, who is in charge of the general contracting branch. <br /> We would also recommend that you accept alternates number 3, 4, and 5. This would create <br /> a contract amount of $1,388,900.00. Please be advised that in addition to this contract <br /> amount, we recommend you plan on an additional $100,000.00 (minimum) as a contingency <br /> fund to be used during the construction phase, to cover unknowns and change orders. <br /> 2 6 2 3 E A S T P E R S H I N G R O A D • P.
