[0:00] Hey TV 25, we are ready to go.
[0:05] Good afternoon everyone and welcome to
this specially scheduled Board of
[0:10] Estimates bid opening
um on September 9th, 2026.
[0:16] This is replacing the bid opening
originally scheduled for September 2nd,
[0:20] 2026. If folks will recall, we had some
building issues that required us to do a
[0:26] lot of juggling of the morning board
meetings. So, today we are opening
[0:31] one of the bids that was scheduled to be
opened on September 2nd. And there's yet
[0:37] a story with that, and I'm going to
share that next. This is for Department
[0:40] of General Services, and it is contract
PRJ or solicitation PRJ 000889,
[0:50] Hartford Senior Renovation and Envelope
Upgrades.
[0:54] This item was mistakenly announced by
our office for opening on August 19th,
[1:00] 2026.
And
[1:03] technically, the bid was actually
supposed to be opened September 2nd, and
[1:07] again that has been now been rescheduled
to today. So, if you feel like you've
[1:10] heard this one a few times, you have.
And when we did announce this on August
[1:15] 19th, of course there were no bids
received because we had been given the
[1:19] wrong date. So, we are correcting that
now, and this bid again is PRJ 000889,
[1:27] Hartford Senior Renovation and Envelope
Upgrades.
[1:30] And we have four bidders for this item.
And Arthur, you can start whenever
[1:35] you're ready.
>> We have four bids. Um the first one is
[1:40] Shryane Builders Inc.
[1:44] » Thank you.
[1:51] » They have a bid bond.
And the amount of this bid is
[1:56] $2,997,000.
[2:04] » Okay, that number was 2,997,000.
[2:12] » Yes, and they also have a bid bond.
>> They have a bid bond and I think this
[2:21] is behind the
cover sheet marked as clearly marked as
[2:27] a duplicate.
I think So, I have one duplicate and you
[2:32] have an original.
>> Yes.
[2:34] » Okay, just making sure cuz I think a few
of these might not have been marked.
[2:38] Okay, this is the duplicate.
[2:46] » The next bidder on this side to Mr. Y-10
Turner
[2:50] Contracting Company.
He has an original.
[3:01] With a bid bond.
Let's see.
[3:10] It's an original and a two.
[3:16] Their price is $3,558,799.
558,799.
[3:21] 558,799.
799.
[3:29] » Yes.
[3:38] » Um, I don't see
duplicate on this one.
[3:43] » This is the original right here.
>> I know you have the original.
[3:48] But I don't see this one.
This says original.
[3:53] And
this one's marked original, too.
[3:56] Okay.
>> So, we have two originals.
[3:59] » Yours definitely is marked, right?
It's in Oh, yeah, it's in the big book.
[4:04] Okay, so technically, we have two
originals of this
[4:10] bid, and I will take this opportunity to
remind everyone what that means. Um we
[4:16] only retain in this office for public
view
[4:20] bids that are clearly marked duplicates.
So, when we do not receive a clearly
[4:24] marked duplicate, that means for this
particular bid, there will not be a copy
[4:28] available in our office for public view.
Um all copies marked original and extra
[4:35] duplicates are sent to the agency for
review.
[4:40] So, I'm going to be handing this back to
you, Audrey, and I've marked our sheet
[4:46] as zero dupes and two originals. And I
will run through this pricing again when
[4:50] we get to the end of our
list of bidders.
[5:02] » Next bid is
Siddall
[5:07] Development LLC.
>> Yep.
[5:16] » Okay, they have a
bid bond.
[5:21] They have an original.
>> This is marked dupe.
[5:27] Yep.
[5:33] » The price on this one
is 3,999,
[5:40] I'm sorry, 3,990,000
[5:46] 888
dollars.
[5:49] » Okay, that number was 3,990,888.00.
[5:55] » Correct.
[5:59] » Okay.
>> Thank you.
[6:02] » Mhm.
[6:11] » And the last bid on this is Bentsky
Construction Company LLC.
[6:29] Okay.
They have an uh Okay, is it duplicate?
[6:35] They have an original.
[6:39] » Thank you.
>> Just a bid bond.
[6:42] With a bid bond.
[6:46] It's an original bid bond.
>> They have the bond marked
[6:52] » Let me see something.
>> duplicate.
[6:54] » Right. Hold on. Let's see.
[7:02] original.
Okay.
[7:09] » Um
[7:14] I see duplicate written on the bid bond,
but it they don't have it written
[7:20] » on nothing else.
>> Yeah, let me
[7:23] I'm double checking myself cuz I don't
make sure.
[7:28] I don't see it written on
this Will you look at this for me?
[7:33] Just to make sure.
I don't see it clearly written there. I
[7:37] just see it written handwritten on the
bond.
[7:41] » Okay.
[7:44] » They just have the bond.
>> Yeah.
[7:47] So, I I think I want to call this
two originals unless you see it and then
[7:54] just not not seeing it.
But I I don't see any place
[8:00] where it's clearly marked.
So, that um does mean also for this one,
[8:06] Bentsky Construction, there is there are
two originals, no duplicates so that we
[8:11] will not have a copy available in this
office for public view.
[8:15] » And the price on this one is $3,420,000.
[8:26] » What page did you see that on?
>> Right. Page 87.
[8:30] » Thank you.
Yeah, I just didn't get to the page.
[8:34] » think there's anything there.
>> Oh.
[8:37] » Yeah.
>> Oh, there's no
[8:40] there's no cop duplicate of the price in
here.
[8:44] Page 87.
>> Right.
[8:48] And I see that. I don't know why they
[8:51] » So, we have all these pieces and the
book.
[8:55] Let me
>> Ah.
[9:01] Here's the original.
This is the original, too. So, it looks
[9:05] like they have two originals.
>> Oh, yeah.
[9:08] » I see.
>> And these these pieces of
[9:12] this version of original, okay.
>> So, you want me to read that part again?
[9:16] » Yeah, cuz I don't see a page to
reference in here to read it back.
[9:21] I'm just checking myself, but I don't
This looks like um
[9:27] the addendum.
>> It's right here.

[9:56] » That's correct.
>> Thank you. And we're going to mark that
[10:02] as two originals.
It's a little bundle there.
[10:08] Okay. I'm going to read through that was

[10:12] to read through each of those bidders
