Summary

Council approved a contract with Speakman's Concrete Service LLC to repair the foundation and aprons at the City Fleet building; the low responsive bid was $158,187.65 and council discussed whether a contingency percentage was included in the resolution.

Tooele City Council approved a contract with Speakman's Concrete Service LLC to repair foundation and apron areas at the City Fleet building during the May 7 meeting.

Public Works Director Jamie Grandpre said freeze-thaw cycles, salt and other weathering have damaged portions of the fleet building foundation and adjoining aprons. The city received multiple bids and found one bidder non-responsive; the responsive bid from Speakman's was discussed at $158,187.65 in the meeting packet. Staff referenced a contingency figure during the discussion but later acknowledged the contingency language did not appear in the resolution before the council.

Council voted 5-0 to approve the agreement. Grandpre said the work is intended to stabilize the building and extend its useful life.
