Board of Public Works awards water-utility pavement repairs contract to BMCI for $117,350
Summary
The Board of Public Works awarded contract 2505 to BMCI Construction for repairs to pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalks tied to water main breaks; the allocation includes a 15% contingency not to exceed $134,952.50.
The City of West Bend Board of Public Works on April 21 awarded contract 2505 for Walter Water Utility pavement repairs to BMCI Construction for the low bid of $117,350 and approved a contingency equal to 15% of the bid, bringing the total not-to-exceed allocation to $134,952.50.
City staff explained the contract will cover pavement, curb, gutter and sidewalk repairs at multiple locations where the water utility excavated to repair water-line breaks during winter and the construction season. The contract is set up as a unit-priced list of locations; as additional breaks occur, the city will provide the contractor a work list and the contractor will continue repairs through the construction season.
Public Works staff told the board they received two bids for the work and recommended BMCI based on experience with the city. "Based on BMCI's experience with the city, we believe they have the capabilities to do this work," staff said. The board approved awarding the contract to BMCI and adopted the contingency amount "based on the maximum contingency allowed by statute because we do not know how many water main breaks we're going to have throughout the year," staff said.
The contract award authorizes the city to issue repair work to BMCI up to the contract total; board members voted to approve the award. The transcript records the vote as "motion carried" without a roll-call tally in the excerpt.
Implementation steps include issuing work orders from the utility’s list of locations and tracking spending against the $134,952.50 not-to-exceed allocation.
