REGULAR MEETING APRIL 30, 1973 <br />RECOMMCNDATI-OWi-!-,:BIDS FOR AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK - PHASE III <br />The Board received the following letter: <br />April 27, 1973 <br />Board of Public Works <br />of South Bend, Indiana <br />County -City Building <br />South Bend, Indiana. 46601 <br />Re: Airport Industrial Park - Phase III <br />EDA Project No. 06-01-00999 <br />Attention: Mr. William J. Richardson, Chairman <br />Gentlemen: <br />We have reviewed the bids for the subject project which were received <br />April 23, 1973 and referred to us for our recommendation. Enclosed <br />you will find a tabulation of all bids received. <br />Upon review we find the bid of Woodruff and Sons, Inc., of Michigan <br />City, Indiana to be Lowest and`�best for both pavement alternates. <br />The total bid prices are: <br />Pavement Alternate "A" $1,289.773.35 <br />(11" Hot Asphaltic Concrete Pavement) <br />Pavement Alternate "B" <br />(9" Plain Portland Cement Concrete $1,380,002.88 <br />Pavement) <br />It is our opinion that the 9" Plain Portland Cement Concrete Pavement <br />is the better of the two pavements and the additional expense of <br />$90,229.53 for Pavement Alternate "B" is,recommended. The greater <br />durability of the concrete pavement will give an increased pavement life <br />and decrease maintenance costs. It is therefore our recommendation that <br />a contract for the project, with pavement Alternate "B" be awarded to <br />Woodruff and Sons, Inc., upon their bid of $1,380,002.88, a bid <br />$174,099.22 (11.2%) below our estimate. <br />It is further recommended that, in requesting Economic Development <br />Administration approval of the award, full participation in the additional <br />cost of concrete pavement be requested. Justification for this request <br />is the additional value of the concrete pavement and that the total <br />project cost would be within existing project funds, with sufficient <br />contingency funds remaining. <br />Enclosed is a revised project cost estimate based upon the recommended <br />bid as the estimated construction cost and full E.D.A. participation. <br />Also enclosed is a revised project cost estimate based upon award of the <br />contract with concrete pavement, Deductive Alternatives i and 2 deleted, <br />and E.D.A. participation limited to participation in the Cost of <br />Bituminous pavement. <br />Very truly yours, <br />s/ Gerald R. Phipps <br />CONDITIONAL AWARD OF CONTRACT - AIRPORT INDUSTRIAL PARK PHASE III <br />Upon motion made, seconded and carried, the following conditional contract was <br />adopted by the Board: <br />
