Martin, Clerk <br />Board of Public Works <br />FROM:Kyle Silveus <br />SUBJECT:Eagle Way Sewer Extension,Project 119-095 <br />DATE:April 6, 2020 <br />OnMarch 10,2020the Board of Public Worksopened and read bidsfor the above project. <br />The bidders ranked as follows: <br />BidderBid AmountMBE/WBE % Utilization <br />1.Indiana Earth, Inc.$239,444.561.29% <br />2.RitschardBros.Inc.$281,819.0082.91% <br />4.Walsh & Kelly, Inc.$304,130.000.97% <br />3. HRP Construction, Inc.$374,400.003.24% <br />The MBE/WBE goal was determined to be 21.12%. Indiana Earthreached out to 4 MBE/WBE <br />subcontractors and plans to utilize one on this project (1.53% of the base bid, 1.29% with the <br />bid alternate that is desired to be awarded). One subcontractor chose not to bid, while one <br />subcontractor and one supplier provided quotes, but Indiana Earth does not plan to use them <br />because they were not the low bidders for the work.The percentage of MBE/WBE utilization for <br />each contractor is listed in the table above. <br />On3/24/20, all bids were rejected based on the legal counsel’s opinionthatIndiana Earth, by <br />not showing proof that the MWBE’s quote was unreasonable, did not display a good faith effort <br />(hence their bid was non-responsive). In addition, all other bids were beyond the project <br />budget. <br />Since this bid rejection occurred, new information about data in the City’s disparity study has <br />come to light.As a result, the City will not require or set contract goals on this project. <br /> <br />
