1
00:00:00,720 --> 00:00:05,200
Hey TV 25, we are ready to go.

2
00:00:05,720 --> 00:00:12,640
Good afternoon everyone and welcome to
this specially scheduled Board of

3
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:18,400
Estimates bid opening
um on September 9th, 2026.

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:23,960
This is replacing the bid opening
originally scheduled for September 2nd,

5
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:28,720
2026. If folks will recall, we had some
building issues that required us to do a

6
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:34,360
lot of juggling of the morning board
meetings. So, today we are opening

7
00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:39,120
one of the bids that was scheduled to be
opened on September 2nd. And there's yet

8
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:43,560
a story with that, and I'm going to
share that next. This is for Department

9
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:50,000
of General Services, and it is contract
PRJ or solicitation PRJ 000889,

10
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:57,360
Hartford Senior Renovation and Envelope
Upgrades.

11
00:00:54,200 --> 00:01:02,280
This item was mistakenly announced by
our office for opening on August 19th,

12
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:05,440
2026.
And

13
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:09,080
technically, the bid was actually
supposed to be opened September 2nd, and

14
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:13,520
again that has been now been rescheduled
to today. So, if you feel like you've

15
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:16,760
heard this one a few times, you have.
And when we did announce this on August

16
00:01:15,160 --> 00:01:21,560
19th, of course there were no bids
received because we had been given the

17
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:28,880
wrong date. So, we are correcting that
now, and this bid again is PRJ 000889,

18
00:01:27,120 --> 00:01:34,520
Hartford Senior Renovation and Envelope
Upgrades.

19
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:37,560
And we have four bidders for this item.
And Arthur, you can start whenever

20
00:01:35,840 --> 00:01:44,400
you're ready.
>> We have four bids. Um the first one is

21
00:01:40,080 --> 00:01:44,400
Shryane Builders Inc.

22
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:47,400
» Thank you.

23
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:59,040
» They have a bid bond.
And the amount of this bid is

24
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:59,040
$2,997,000.

25
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:09,160
» Okay, that number was 2,997,000.

26
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:25,200
» Yes, and they also have a bid bond.
>> They have a bid bond and I think this

27
00:02:21,959 --> 00:02:29,800
is behind the
cover sheet marked as clearly marked as

28
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:33,280
a duplicate.
I think So, I have one duplicate and you

29
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,880
have an original.
>> Yes.

30
00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:42,520
» Okay, just making sure cuz I think a few
of these might not have been marked.

31
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:42,520
Okay, this is the duplicate.

32
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:53,760
» The next bidder on this side to Mr. Y-10
Turner

33
00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:57,200
Contracting Company.
He has an original.

34
00:03:01,959 --> 00:03:06,519
With a bid bond.
Let's see.

35
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:14,519
It's an original and a two.

36
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:24,160
Their price is $3,558,799.
558,799.

37
00:03:21,959 --> 00:03:27,160
558,799.
799.

38
00:03:29,600 --> 00:03:32,600
» Yes.

39
00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:45,360
» Um, I don't see
duplicate on this one.

40
00:03:43,519 --> 00:03:51,680
» This is the original right here.
>> I know you have the original.

41
00:03:48,519 --> 00:03:54,280
But I don't see this one.
This says original.

42
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:58,520
And
this one's marked original, too.

43
00:03:56,720 --> 00:04:03,040
Okay.
>> So, we have two originals.

44
00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:08,520
» Yours definitely is marked, right?
It's in Oh, yeah, it's in the big book.

45
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:13,080
Okay, so technically, we have two
originals of this

46
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:18,760
bid, and I will take this opportunity to
remind everyone what that means. Um we

47
00:04:16,280 --> 00:04:22,880
only retain in this office for public
view

48
00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:27,120
bids that are clearly marked duplicates.
So, when we do not receive a clearly

49
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:32,080
marked duplicate, that means for this
particular bid, there will not be a copy

50
00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:38,880
available in our office for public view.
Um all copies marked original and extra

51
00:04:35,320 --> 00:04:43,160
duplicates are sent to the agency for
review.

52
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:48,400
So, I'm going to be handing this back to
you, Audrey, and I've marked our sheet

53
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:52,080
as zero dupes and two originals. And I
will run through this pricing again when

54
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:55,200

list of bidders.

It's an original bid bond.
>> They have the bond marked

73
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:58,840
» Let me see something.
>> duplicate.

74
00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:58,840
» Right. Hold on. Let's see.

75
00:07:02,600 --> 00:07:07,840
original.
Okay.

76
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,800
» Um

77
00:07:14,919 --> 00:07:21,960
I see duplicate written on the bid bond,
but it they don't have it written

78
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:26,240
» on nothing else.
>> Yeah, let me

79
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:31,720
I'm double checking myself cuz I don't
make sure.

80
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:35,880
I don't see it written on
this Will you look at this for me?

81
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:39,160
Just to make sure.
I don't see it clearly written there. I

82
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:43,760
just see it written handwritten on the
bond.

83
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,760
» Okay.

84
00:07:44,320 --> 00:07:51,160
» They just have the bond.
>> Yeah.

85
00:07:47,680 --> 00:07:56,640
So, I I think I want to call this
two originals unless you see it and then

86
00:07:54,080 --> 00:08:02,400
just not not seeing it.
But I I don't see any place

87
00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:08,520
where it's clearly marked.
So, that um does mean also for this one,

88
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:13,760
Bentsky Construction, there is there are
two originals, no duplicates so that we

89
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:21,280
will not have a copy available in this
office for public view.

90
00:08:15,360 --> 00:08:21,280
» And the price on this one is $3,420,000.

91
00:08:26,280 --> 00:08:32,800
» What page did you see that on?
>> Right. Page 87.

92
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:36,400
» Thank you.
Yeah, I just didn't get to the page.

93
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:38,320
» think there's anything there.
>> Oh.

94
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:42,960
» Yeah.
>> Oh, there's no

95
00:08:40,479 --> 00:08:45,920

Page 87.
>> Right.

97
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,280
And I see that. I don't know why they

98
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:57,560
» So, we have all these pieces and the
book.

99
00:08:55,680 --> 00:08:59,760
Let me
>> Ah.

100
00:09:01,560 --> 00:09:07,800
Here's the original.
This is the original, too. So, it looks

101
00:09:05,560 --> 00:09:09,200
like they have two originals.
>> Oh, yeah.

102
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:14,760

this version of original, okay.
>> So, you want me to read that part again?

104
00:09:16,960 --> 00:09:24,240
» Yeah, cuz I don't see a page to
reference in here to read it back.

105
00:09:21,880 --> 00:09:30,200
I'm just checking myself, but I don't
This looks like um

106
00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:32,680
the addendum.
>> It's right here.

107
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:35,920
Okay, so let's go
>> So, I

108
