Buildings Dear Mr. Epstein, The Jaredian Deign Group is in receipt of four proposals for General construction in connection with the Maintainance, Generator, and the R.O Buildings, as designed by the Jaredian Design Group in 2015. One of the four proposals was originally submitted to you through Brice Gordon by SSVI-Expert Builders. The other three proposals were submitted by the following contractor; APEX Constructions, Balbo Construction and Custom Builders. All three of those Bidders are experienced General Contractors in the US Virgin Islands with more than 30 years' experience each. Apex Construction has worked on such projects as Elysian Beach Resort, Eldra Schultebrandt Mental Health Facility, The VITEMA Headquarters, and many Luxury Residences, including the residence of Mr. & Mrs. Mulo Alwani. Custom Builders have completed many projects including Peace Corps / Bowsky Elementary School, Fort Christian Restoration, and the Hebrew Congregation Synagogue on ST. Thomas. The Synagogue received recognition Nationally for Historic Restoration. Balbo Construction has worked on Bertha C. Boschulte Middle School, Charles Tumbull Regional Library, Virgin Islands Public Finance Authority Offices, and many other luxury residences including the residence of the former Governor Roy L. Schneider. All three contractors have received recognition for excellence in construction. Custom Builders, as referenced before, received recognition for the Hebrew Congregation's restoration of the Synagogue, Balbo Construction for the VI Public Finance Authority Office Building and Apex Construction for the restoration of Lieutenant Governor Office Building on St. Thomas. 1 Bid Evaluations for Generator & R. O. Buildings on Little St. James. U. S. Virgin islands Joredian Design Group June 15, 2017 EFTA00591096 The bids received are as follows: Generator and R.O Buildings Maintainance Buildings Apex Construction: $ 670,267.00 Apex Construction: No Bid provided. Balbo Construction: $ 981,212.24 Balbo Construction: $ 819,478.76 Custom Builders: $1,196,147.00 Custom Builders: $1,478,8016.00 SSVI Expert Builders: $566,795.00 SSVI Expert Builders: No Bid provided. The cost of the steel structure, exterior steel siding, and doors are not included in any of the Bidder responses. Buck Steel is the manufacturer that will be providing those materials and will be delivering them to the site location on Little Saint James. The Buck Steel estimates for each site location is $126,640 for the Generator and R.O. Buildings, and $106,850.00 for the maintainance building. The Buck Steel cost for each site will be increased by $5,250.00 for stamped structure engineering drawings. The four bids received shows a wide discrepancy in cost. We believe this is a result of how each particular contractor interprets the risk involved in doing construction on Little St. James. Construction logistics are always going to be difficult on an offshore Cay. The interview that I conducted with the contractors reveals that APEX Construction and SSVI have experience working on Little St. James and Great St. James. Their experience probably contributes to the large difference between their cost and the proposals of the other two bidders. APEX Construction also indicated that they were familiar with the drawings presented to them previously, probably by Brice Gordon. The three contractors that prices were solicited from by the Jaredian Design Group, have the necessary qualifications to construct these buildings. However, we are uncertain if SSVI Expert Builders, has the necessary qualifications at this time. Therefore, we recommend that you consider the selection of APEX Construction for the Generator and R.O. Buildings. APEX Construction has informed us that they are presently completing their proposal for the Maintainance Building as they have not received the email transmitted by me earlier. However, I don't expect their cost for that building to be much different from their present proposal. The total cost of construction, including the Buck Steel Proposal for the Generator and R.O. Buildings will be $802,157.00, if APEX is selected. As the total footprint of construction is approximately 10,500 square feet, this translates into a construction unit cost of $76.40 per square foot. We find this to be a very fair and equitable cost considering the challenges faced by doing construction on Little St. James. 2 Bid Evaluations fa Generator & R. O. Buildings on Little St. James, U.
