HISTORY, BACKGROUND and DISCUSSION
| The solicitation was issued January 11, 2017, for the above-mentioned project. This project consists of removal of all trees and brush, including stumps from a 75-acre site southwest of Hill Brady and Skyline located in Battle Creek, MI. All wood material will be considered the property the successful Bidder. Site to be raked clean when completed.
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 eight contractors and four construction plan houses. Construction companies and the trades subscribe to planhouses 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 Kurt Tribbett 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.
