City awards Fire Station No. 4 concrete pad repair to DFX after warranty and contingency review
Summary
City attorney advised the Board to approve the higher DFX quote of $15,694.20 for a concrete pad at Fire Station No. 4 because the lower bid included contingencies and lacked a comparable warranty; the Board approved the DFX award.
The Board approved awarding the Fire Station No. 4 concrete pad repair to DFX for $15,694.20 after staff and the city attorney recommended the higher quote because the lower quote carried contingencies and shorter warranty terms.
City attorney Nick Manley told the board the project sought quotes under the city purchase policy and state law; although a $10,175 quote was lower, it contained contingencies that could increase the final cost, while the DFX proposal was a “not to exceed” price and included a five‑year warranty. The lower‑priced vendor (Olshan) offered a one‑year warranty.
Alderman Kelly moved and Alderman Payne seconded the motion to award the quote to DFX; the board approved the recommendation on roll call. Manley said the resolution will include the findings justifying the selection of the higher quote under the procurement code provisions cited.
Ending: The board awarded the contract to DFX and the mayor was authorized to sign the resolution and contract documents; staff will proceed with the repair under the awarded quote.
