<br />Therefore, Ms. Dorau made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be

<br />AWARD BID — SEWER AND MANHOLE REHABILITATION — PROJECT NO. 118-093
<br />(UTILITY EXPENSE/CONTRACTUAL SERVICE)
<br />Ms. Sue Ellen Doudrick, Engineering, advised the Board that on December 11, 2018, bids were
<br />received and opened for the above referenced project. After reviewing those bids, Ms. Doudrick
<br />recommended that the Board award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder
<br />Inland Waters Pollution Control, Inc., 4086 Michigan Ave., Detroit, MI 48210 in the amount of
<br />$2,015,380.50 for the Base Bid plus Alternates A and B. Ms. Doudrick noted she requested SAK
<br />Construction, LLC be awarded the project for the agenda, but they were actually the second
<br />lowest bidder. She explained that SAK Construction was previously pre -qualified as a
<br />responsible bidder after engineering confirmation that they met the requirements of the
<br />Responsible Bidder Ordinance. However when the bids were reviewed for this project it was
<br />discovered that none of the bidders could meet the training and apprenticeship requirements of
<br />Section 6-63.a.6. because this is specialized work and there is no training or apprenticeship for
<br />this type of work available. Attorney Elliot Anderson summarized none of the bidders were
<br />compliant. SAK was pre -qualified, but nobody can be compliant because there is no training for
<br />that work. He suggested the Board make some approval with requirements to follow up on
<br />training. Ms. Boyles noted this is a new ordinance that is very specific on the qualification
<br />requirements from the Department of Labor. She explained several staff members were included
<br />in the discussions about the wording of the Ordinance but they didn't think about certain types of
<br />work that can't be met. Mr. Gilot stated the agenda is wrong, there is no memo to explain why,
<br />and the Ordinance can't be met. He stated he was not comfortable waiving the requirement of the
<br />Ordinance. Attorney Anderson suggested they not waive the requirement but possibly recognize
<br />that nobody can meet the requirements of that section of the Ordinance. He suggested they award
<br />to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder except to the section A.6. of the ordinance,
<br />which is impossible to meet. He noted all other ordinance requirements are met. Therefore, Mr.
<br />Gilot made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded as outlined
<br />above, noting the Ordinance is impossible to meet. He requested documentation of training even
<br />though it's not for this type of work. Ms. Dorau seconded the motion, which carried.
<br />AWARD BID — MAIN AND COLFAX PARKING STRUCTURE REPAIRS 2019 — PROJECT

<br />D.C. Byers Co./Detroit Inc., 16429 Upton Rd., Suite No. 3, East Lansing, MI 48823 in the
<br />amount not to exceed $866,370 for the Base Bid plus Alternate Nos. 1 and 2. Therefore, Ms.
