5/12/2022	0	TRAVAUX INC. BOARD OF DIRECTORS	ADOPTED; Minutes note: Warren Jones, Travaux Inc.’s, Vice President of Construction, stated BYCO Incorporated, the sole bidder, has performed similar work on past projects satisfactorily and feels confident that BYCO Incorporated can do the work within their submitted pricing and timeframe allowed for the job. Mr. Jones explained that the materials in the scope of work have changed from carpeting to a luxury vinyl plank solid surface in the Townhomes at Carver Park units and that the solid surface should help with future maintenance at this development. Mr. Jones stated BYCO Incorporated is a 100% Minority-owned Business Enterprise (MBE). After the final bid for award had been voted upon, there was a general discussion regarding the large variances seen between the estimating company’s cost estimate and the bidder’s proposed amount. Directors asked Mr. Jones how the estimating company had been hired and if there was a plausible reason for the wide ranges of variances seen in the bids just awarded a contract. Mr. Jones explained that the Estimator had been hired by the architectural firm. Mr. Jones added that he had expressed similar dissatisfaction with the estimating numbers received and had communicated to the architectural firm that they not utilize this estimating firm for future Travaux projects.
