Jefferson Boulevard <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br /> <br />Re: Fellows Booster Station – Contract B Station Installation and Site Work <br /> City Project No. 121-070B <br /> <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Klosinski, <br /> <br />Pursuant to the Notice to Bidders, sealed bids for the above referenced project were received by the <br />City of South Bend’s Board of Public Works on April 9, 2024 at 9:00 am and then publicly opened and <br />read aloud. We have reviewed all the bids received for the work and have enclosed a copy of the <br />prepared Bid Tabulation for your information and consideration. <br /> <br />Two (2) sealed bids were received. The low base bid was submitted by Selge Construction of Niles, MI in <br />the amount of $3,724,000.00, after deducting the mandatory bid alternates, their bid becomes <br />$3,654,000.00. The second low bid was submitted by HRP Construction of South Bend, IN for the base <br />bid amount of $3,791,000.00, after deducting the mandatory bid alternates, their bid becomes <br />$3,684,000.00. Donohue’s opinion of probable construction costs for the base project was <br />$3,234,872.00. The low base bid was approximately $489,128.00 (15%) higher than the opinion of <br />probable construction cost. Please refer to the enclosed Bid Tabulation and Bid Review Summary for <br />information on the Bidders and the bid amounts. <br /> <br />It is our opinion that the low bidder, Selge Construction, submitted a responsive bid and is qualified and <br />capable of performing the work as specified. It is therefore recommended that the City of South Bend’s <br />Board of Public Works award the procurement contract to Selge Construction in the base bid amount of <br />$3,724,000.00, and with the condition of the City’s closing of the State Revolving Fund Loan. <br /> <br />We respectfully present these recommendations for review and consideration and will be pleased to <br />answer any questions you have concerning the information provided herein. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br /> <br />Jeffrey L. McKean, P.E. <br />Project Manager <br /> <br />Enclosures: As noted
