The first and second bids are reasonably similar to the budgeted amount, with CT Combustion at $414K and Modern Mechanical at $434K. Since the City does not maintain its own prequalification process, we use the State DAS prequalification, and bidders were required to be prequalified. To be clear, the statute establishing the prequal requirement only says that projects greater than $1M require such prequal; however, Bristol has historically and successfully used DAS prequalification as a tool in a variety of projects, from concrete work to MEP projects. The lowest bidder, CT Combustion, is not DAS prequalified, and included in his bid note that the statute doesn’t require it.

The second (L. Holzner Electric) and third (Anderson Electrical) bids received are clustered near the $300K. There is a low bidder (Facility Compliance Services) who is considerably lower than the others; his bid shows that he only anticipates 550-man hours for the project, significantly less than other bids.
