DEPARTMENT OF BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS: Toby Taylor, Department of Buildings and Grounds,
stated this bid was made possible as a result of the Energy Efficiency Grant, and it will be presented for
approval on March 24, 2010. Commissioner Conway inquired as to whether there will be a rebate
available for utilities. Mr. Taylor clarified there will not be a rebate in relation to this project; however,
upgrading the HVAC controls will save the County money by improving energy efficiency.
APPROVE BID #B1000061, SIGN MATERIAL FOR 2010 - DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS:
Monica Mika, Director of Finance and Administration, stated this bid is for 49 individual components
utilized to create signs, and Pages 7-10 of the original bid have not been provided to the Board for
review, and those pages delineate what the individual products are utilized for; therefore, she will read
the information into the record. Ms. Mika stated there are 12 vendors that submitted bids, and portions
of the bid were awarded to 10 of the vendors. She stated all of the recommendations are for the low
bids; however, for products 45.a through 45.e, three (3) vendors submitted bids in the same amount;
therefore, she recommends awarding that portion of the bid to the vendor that submitted its bid first,
which is 3M. In response to Ms. Mika, Chair Rademacher stated a summary of the recommendations
will be adequate. Ms. Mika stated products which were considered within this bid include aluminum
sign blanks; a variety of sign facings, which are items 20 through 36.C; square tubing, which are
items 37 and 38; fiberglass delineator posts; reflective sheeting materials; wet reflector tape; barricade
sheeting; reflective sheeting; high-intensity reflective sheeting; film and vinyl; high-performance film;
transparent film; transfer tape; and traffic control products, such as cones and drums. She
recommended the low bid bids be accepted for all of the products. Commissioner Rademacher
inquired as to why there are no bids from local vendors and only one (1) from a company within the
State of Colorado. Ms. Mika stated due to the uniqueness of these products, the County has had to
consider vendors which are located out of the State. Commissioner Long moved to approve staff's
recommendations for Bid #B1000061. Seconded by Commissioner Conway, the motion carried
unanimously.
