Board of Public Works awards water-utility pavement repairs contract to BMCI for $117,350 (15% contingency)
Summary
The Board of Public Works awarded the annual water-utility pavement repairs contract to BMCI Construction for $117,350, with a 15% contingency for a total allocation not to exceed $134,952.50, citing BMCI’s experience with the city.
The Board of Public Works voted to award the annual water-utility pavement repairs contract to BMCI Construction at the bid price of $117,350 and approved a 15% contingency to account for unknown winter breaks, authorizing a total allocation not to exceed $134,952.50.
Max, a city staff member in the utilities division, explained the contract covers work locations where the Water Utility excavates to repair waterlines; the awarded contractor will perform pavement repairs as the season’s breaks occur and as the city provides work locations. The city received two bids; staff recommended BMCI based on its experience with the city.
The recommendation noted the contingency was set at the statutory maximum because the number of water-main breaks over the year is unknown. The board voted to award the contract and to authorize the contingency; the motion carried.
Ending: The contract award authorizes BMCI to perform pavement repairs as waterline breaks occur through the construction season, with the city using the contingency as needed up to the not-to-exceed amount.
