Dear Rita Iglesias,

Stantec Consulting Services, Inc. (Stantec) as the Engineer of Record (EOR) has completed our review of
the bid submitted by the lowest bidder for this project, and we are pleased to provide the following award
recommendation.
The scope of the Stan Gober Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation project includes repairs to the existing bridge

Collier County Procurement’s review of the bid tabulations determined that the apparent low bidder is M&J

was provided with the bid Schedule for M&J Construction and their bid is approximately 1% lower than the
Engineer’s Opinion of Probable Construction Cost (OPC) of $9,025,696.00.
References were provided and the completed Vendor Reference Check Logs for each reference are
attached hereto. Five (5) project references provided by M&J Construction were contacted, Stantec
determined the references contain sufficient relevant experience with similar projects to demonstrate the
required successful experience to complete the project.
M&J Construction has provided multiple past project examples with similar bridge concrete repair and
cathodic protection scope of work. Additional projects were also provided with large contract amounts.
M&J Construction is a Corporation formed in 1983 in the State of Florida and has been authorized to
transact business in the State of Florida since 1983. M&J Construction is registered with the Florida

Based on the project references and the favorable performance reviews provided on the Vendor Reference
Logs and its licensing, it appears that M&J Construction is a qualified firm to conduct the requested work.
Based on the above information, Stantec recommends M&J Construction be awarded the Stan Gober
Memorial Bridge Rehabilitation project in the amount of $8,937,871.54.
