background
The Guilford County Facilities Department competitively solicited bids for the Law Enforcement Center Renovation as Event #625. However, only 2 bids were received and a formal event requires 3 bid responses to open. We solicited bids a second time as Event #629. On August 21, 2018 Guilford County had a public bid opening at 3:00 PM to open and review the 4 bid responses. Guilford County was asking for a base bid and 8 alternates. The base bid will accomplish a complete renovation of the entire building except for the interior upfit of levels 3, 4, and 5 (provided by Alternate #1). The alternates are as follows:
Alternate #1: Provide the interior upfit of levels 3,4, and 5 for Probation and Parole.
Alternate #2: Provide Yale locks in lieu of other specified equal manufacturers.
Alternate #3: Provide exterior cleaning of the building.
Alternate #4: Remove all exterior precast concrete sealant, clean and prime joints, and replace with new sealant.

Alternate #6: Provide a 5-year extended chiller warranty and service.
Alternate #7: Provide 700 MHz FirstNet capability for the distributed antenna system.
