The solicitation was issued January 12, 2017, for the above-mentioned project. This project consists of remote televising and recording of the sanitary sewers located within the City of Battle Creek, adjacent townships, and the City of Springfield. Based on the Engineers review, additional work such as light cleaning, heavy cleaning, root cutting, and lateral cuts may be required.
As with all of our construction projects that exceed $50,000, this is a prevailing wage job. Prevailing Wage is defined as the hourly wage, along with benefits and overtime, paid in the largest city in each county, to the majority of workers, laborers, and mechanics. Prevailing wages are established, by the Department of Labor & Industries, for each trade and occupation employed in the performance of public work.
Copies of the IFB were provided to ten contractors and four construction plan houses. Construction companies and the trades subscribe to plan houses to be aware of all jobs being bid around the region. In addition, an advertisement was placed in the Battle Creek Enquirer and on the City’s website. Bid responses were due on January 30, 2017. A bid tabulation is attached.
The bids were reviewed by Eric Campbell in Engineering. A recommendation was made to accept the lowest, responsive, responsible bid as noted above. I concur with the department’s recommendation that contract award to this firm would be in the best interest of the City of Battle Creek.
