RECOMMENDATION:
Approve a construction contract with Alaskan Industries in the amount of $444,800 to replace the Valdez High School gymnasium floor. This includes award of additive alternate #1, removing the existing floor.
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The bid summary is included herein. The project’s base bid is to build the new floor on top of the existing floor with an additive alternate of removing the existing floor and building on top of the concrete slab.
Base bid cost: $334,800
Additive Alternate #1: $110,000
Removal cost of the existing floor is high due to the level of mercury within the floor. It must be abated in accordance with current legal requirements which will require shipping it to the lower 48 for disposal. Staff and School officials recommend removing the existing floor.
