responses for the expansion project from general contractors. Three of these firms provided the required Post Proposal -Pre Award Submittals to
be further evaluated by the City. These firms were:
• CMP Commercial Construction, Inc.

• Scott Dennett Construction, LC
There was a wide range in base bid prices. Of these three firms only one, Scott Dennett Construction, LC, who submitted the lowest proposed
cost, provided the required "Post Proposal —Pre Award Submittals" to be further evaluated by the City. This proposal was reviewed by members of
the Police Department, Office of Business Diversity and the Property Management Department. References were checked, the M/WBE Office
