EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to award a construction contract to American Earth Movers, Inc. for Bid
No. 08-5135 - "Bridge Repairs (Chokoloskee, Goodland, Green Boulevard and Oil Well
Road)~, in the amount of $720,000.00.
OBJECTIVE: To award a construction contract for Bridge Repairs (Chokoloskee,
Goodland, Green Boulevard and Oil Well Road) to American Earth Movers, Inc., in
accordance with Bid No. 08-5135.
CONSIDERATIONS: The project was submitted for advertisement of bids on
September 29, 2008. A non-mandatory pre-bid meeting was held on October 15, 2008.
Bids were opened on November 5, 2008. The scope of work identified in the bid was for
the repair of five bridges (Chokoloskee, Goodland, Green Boulevard and two (2) on Oil
Well Road.
In a letter dated May 23, 2008, the Florida Department of Transportation (FOOT) issued
a Plan of Action Report for scour critical bridges County wide. These five bridges had
scour critical scores less than 5 out of 10. Two of the five bridges were also evaluated in
December of 2007 as needing immediate repair/rehabilitation as their Sufficiency Rating
was below 50 (out of 100). The Goodland Road Bridge was later withdrawn from the
bids as it was determined after further investigation that the assessed low Sufficiency
Rating of 45.4 was largely due to an error in the bridge load rating calculation. After
consultation with FDOT, a new load rating calculation was performed. The revised
Sufficiency Rating increased to 94.2 (out of 100). The Bridge is stil1 identified by FDOT
Scour Report as critical and in need of some structural repairs. The County wil1 perform
additional geotechnical investigation, which could result in significant cost savings to the
County and re-advertise this Bridge for bids to make these repairs.

Upon notification that its Bid has been awarded, the Successful Bidder will execute the
Agreement form attached to the Bidding Documents within ten (10) calendar days and
deliver the Surety Bond or Bonds and Insurance Certificates as required by the Contract
Documents. The bid security attached is to become the property of the Owner in the
event the Agreement, Insurance Certificates and Bonds are not executed and delivered
to Owner within the time above set forth, as liquidated damages, for the delay and
additional expense to the Owner, it being recognized that, since time is of the essence,
Owner will suffer financial loss if the Successful Bidder fails to execute and deliver to
Owner the required Agreement, Insurance Certificates and Bonds within the required
time period. In the event of such failure, the total amount of Owner's damages, will be
difficult, if not impossible, to definitely ascertain and quantify. It is hereby agreed that it
is appropriate and fair that Owner receive liquidated damages from the Successful
Bidder in the event it fails to execute and deliver the Agreement, Insurance Certificates,
and Bonds as required hereunder. The Successful Bidder hereby expressly waives and
relinquishes any right which it may have to seek to characterize the above noted
liquidated damages as a penalty, which the parties agree represents a fair and
reasonable estimate of Owner's actual damages at the time of bidding if the Successful
Bidder fails to execute and deliver the Agreement, Insurance Certificates, and Bonds in
a timely manner.
