Jefferson Boulevard South Bend, IN 46601 Re: Fellows Booster Station – Contract A Procurement City Project No. 121-070A Dear Mr. Klosinski, Pursuant to the Proposal Invitation, sealed proposals for the above referenced project were received by the City of South Bend’s Board of Public Works on April 9, 2024 at 9:00 am and then publicly opened and read aloud. We have reviewed all the proposals received for the work and have enclosed a copy of the prepared Proposal Tabulation for your information and consideration. One (1) sealed proposal was received. The sole proposal was submitted by EFI-Solutions Inc. of Centralia, IL in the amount of $2,592,025.00. Donohue’s opinion of probable construction costs for the project was $2,700,000.00. The proposal was approximately $107,975.00 (4%) less than the opinion of probable construction cost. Please refer to the enclosed Proposal Tabulation and Proposal Review Summary for information on the Proposer and the proposal amounts. It is our opinion that the low proposer, EFI-Solutions Inc., submitted a responsive bid and is qualified and capable of performing the work as specified. It is therefore recommended that the City of South Bend’s Board of Public Works award the procurement contract to EFI-Solutions Inc. in the amount of $2,592,025.00, and with the condition of the City’s closing of the State Revolving Fund Loan. We respectfully present these recommendations for review and consideration and will be pleased to answer any questions you have concerning the information provided herein. Sincerely, Jeffrey L.
