Minutes note: Warren Jones, Travaux Vice President of Construction and Kevin Theissen, Travaux’s Sr. Project Manager recommended that the award of contract be made to Champion Commercial Structures (Troy, MI) in the amount and not to exceed $22,000,000. Mr. Jones explained that the project consists of 138 modular unit buildings for the Westlawn Gardens phase 2. Mr. Jones stated that Travaux has never worked with Champion, however, Kevin Theissen and Glen Radford, Travaux Project Manager, visited the plant in Troy, Michigan to look at their facilities, quality of work and procedures for assembling the units. Mr. Jones also stated that both Project Managers came back with positive reviews from the plant’s method of operations. Mr. Theissen stated that the Champion’s facility is very large and has the capacity to assemble the amount of units that Travaux/HACM will need in the next 18 months once the project is started. Mr. Jones affirmed that Champion would be the best contractor for the project. Back ground information and supporting documents on Champion Commercial were provided to the Board with the agenda.
Gabe DeVougas, HACM Section 3 Coordinator, reported that Champion Commercial Structures is not a certified MBE or WBE with the State of Wisconsin. Champion Commercial Structures has identified a need to subcontract at this time for the crane and modular erector work. If Champion Commercial Structures needs to subcontract any other portion of the work, then Champion Commercial Structures will contact Purchasing/Contracts Services prior to seeking any subcontractors on its own.
The Directors asked several questions regarding the other bidder, Terrace Homes Retail LLC, in regards to dollar amount for the RFP and their capability to perform the scope of work at Westlawn Gardens. The Directors requested that all dollar amounts for all bidders be made accessible with the agenda items. Mr. Jones stated that the Board will have a more detailed breakdown of the actual cost from other bidders for the project’s phases and production of the modular units before the next Board meeting in November.
