Body
The Granada Diner space located in the Pro Shop is in need of remodeling to accommodate any future dining operation that will occupy the space.
Currently the space requires a complete overhaul that will require the services of a professional contractor that will perform all work necessary in accordance with the permitted drawings commissioned by the city for the space.
Due to the critical timing of the work and the coordination of work being completed at the adjacent space, the administration is requesting the authority to seek pricing and negotiate a final contract in parallel with multiple suitable sources without going through the formal competitive process. A preliminary budget for the project has been established and this item is seeking approval to proceed in an amount not the exceed the available budget for the project.
Under Section 2-691 of the Procurement Code, entitled “Special Procurement/Bid Waiver,” a special procurement may be initiated when an unusual or unique situation exists that makes the application of all requirements of competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposal contrary to the public interest.
