BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
DATE: March 5, 2013
TO: Honorable Chairman and Members of the Board
FROM: Richard Brannon
SUBJECT: Bid Award for Purchase of Materials for Reeves Road Bridge
DEPARTMENT: Purchasing
BCC DISTRICT: Three
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Bids were opened February 21, 2013. Two (2) bids were received.
Conecuh Bridge & Engineering, Inc. (Troy, AL) is the lowest bidder meeting specifications for a
total of $121,525.77 (see tabulation).
BACKGROUND: Okaloosa County is charged with maintaining approximately 70 bridges and
large culverts. In response to our aging infrastructure, Public Works has a program in place to
replace deteriorating timber bridges with concrete/steel construction.
Of that number, the bridge on Reeves Road is ranked number 2 with respect to the Sufficiency
Rating assigned to it by state inspectors. At this time, only one bridge rates lower and it does not
meet other criteria for replacement at this time. The state defines sufficiency rating as a tool that
is used to help determine whether a bridge that is structurally deficient or functionally obsolete
should be repaired or just replaced.
OPTIONS: Award or Reject.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Staff has reviewed the bids and recommends awarding to Conecuh
Bridge & Engineering, Inc. (Troy, AL); they being the lowest bidder for a total cost of
$121,525.77.
