RE: Sandy Lake Sidewalk Quantity (2)Keith
Yes ....we have discovered the problem.
Dallas office was coordinating the final assembly of specs/quantities and took information that Andrew provided which was in SF and converted to SY but we did not modify the unit column
on the spreadsheet. The resulting bid quantity is approximately 1/9 of what is should have been which reflects the conversion from SF to SY. For some reason we did not do this on Phase
2A but did on 2B.
The correct SF quantities for the sidewalk should have been:
For 5' sidewalk, Area=22,137.24 SF
For 8' Concrete Path, Area=29,879.52 SF
I realize that this represents a significant impact to these items and hope that TISEO is able to work with us to soften the blow. I did a quick review of the bid tab and noticed that
TISEO bid the same unit price for these items on both 2A and 2B. It appears that only one contractor noticed the issue and attempted to inflate their unit price for 2B. Not that it was
intentional but sure is interesting.
Again I apologize for the error. We're happy to discuss at your convenience.
