RESOLVED this age day of October, 1987.
MIKE ROBINSON, Mayor
City of Round Rock, Texas
RECOMMENDATION TO ACCEPT BIDDER FOR ELECTRICAL AND CEILING WORK FOR THE ROUND ROCK
PUBLIC LIBRARY, SECOND SERIES OF BIDS
It is recommended that the City accept the bid of Hi -Tech Construction Company as
the best and lowest bid. The final cost is $16,990, and will take 17 working days
for completion. The electrician will be a master electrician certified to work in
the City of Round Rock.
Mr. Douglas Johnson has recently completed work with Jerry Hunter Liquor Store and
Hill Country Bible Church, at $30,000 and $120,000 respectively. Both references
strongly recommended him for his ability to solve a problem, finish work on time,
even if it meant completing the work himself, stayed on schedule and within budget.
the final product was excellent, with both gentlemen stating that they had never
worked with a contractor so cooperative and diligent. Other references from other
firms reflected the same confidence and support. In discussion with the City
Inspection Department, Mr. Johnson was able to work well within the requirements of
the city. Mr. Johnson is also an engineer by education.
Four bids were submitted during this second request for bids. The bid requests were
changed to request a timeline for completion and to add a $50 per day penalty for
late charges for work done past the mutually acceptable schedule. The bids
submitted are reflected on the following page.
Hi -tech, owned by Douglas Johnson, was the lowest and best bid, based on telephone
interviews with prior clients of Mr. Johnson.
It is highly recommended that the City Council accept a contractor who is able to
manage both the construction work of the ceiling and the electrical subcontractor.
Based on the phone interviews. he is able to do this. The library staff does not
have the staff or expertise to adequately monitor this level of electrical and
building requirements. A building permit will be issued and electrical work
inspected through the life of the project.
