BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS FOR THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND, INDIANA s/John Leszczynski s/James R. Caldwell s/Mary Hall Mueller Attest: s/Sandra Parmerlee, Clerk Board of Public Works RECOMMENDATION TABLED - VACATION OF E. SORIN STREET, WEST OF NORTH NILES AVENUE AND THE FIRST TWO (2) E/W ALLEYS SO. OF VACATED HAGERTY STREET AND THE FIRST N/S ALLEY W. OF NORTH NILES AVENUE Mr. Leszczynski noted that the Board is in receipt of a Vacation Petition as filed with the Common Council by Mr. C. Brian Sauers, Esq., Barnes & Thornburg, 600 1st Source Bank Center, 100 North Michigan Street, South Bend, Indiana, on behalf of Madison Center, Inc., 403 East Madison, South Bend, Indiana, to vacate the following property: East Sorin Street from the west right-of-way line of N. Niles Avenue to the St. Joseph River; the first and second east -west alleys south of vacated Hagerty Street, from the west right-of-way line of N. Niles Avenue, to the east right-of-way line of the first north -south alley west of N. Niles Avenue; and the first north -south alley west of N. Niles Avenue, from the north right-of-way line of E. Sorin Street to the north right-of-way line of the first east -west alley south of vacated Hagerty Street. Parts located in Coquillard's First Addition in the City of South Bend, Indiana. Board Attorney Mary H. Meuller advised members of the Board that she has received a request from the attorney for the Petitioner asking that the Board table making its recommendation on the Vacation Petition at this time as it is the intention of Madison Center to file an amended Vacation Petition. Therefore, Mr. Sauers asked that the Board table this matter for the present. In that regard, Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the Board table its recommendation at this time concerning the proposed vacation. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried. AWARD BID - DEMOLITION - 1216 1327 AND 1327 1/2 W. WASHINGTON In a Memorandum to the Board, Mr. Carl P. Littrell, Director, Division of Engineering, recommended that the Board award the low bid of B & J Excavation, Inc., 1104 West Donald Street, South Bend, Indiana, in the amount of $17,998.00 for the above referred to project. It is noted that bids for this project were opened by the Board on April 27, 1992. Upon a motion made by Mr. Leszczynski, seconded by Mrs. Mueller and carried, the recommendation was accepted and the bid was awarded. AWARD BID - TWO (2) SINGLE AXLE CAB AND CHASSIS Mr. Robert Kruszynski, Manager, Department of Sanitation, advised that he has reviewed the bids received on April 20, 1992, for the above referred to trucks and at this time recommends that the REGULAR MEETING MAY 4, 1992 Board award the low bid of Shamrock Ford Truck Sales, Inc., 4707 West Western Avenue, South Bend, Indiana, in the -amount of $44,360.72. Mrs. Mueller made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the bid be awarded. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried. AWARD BID - ONE (1) COMBINATION JET RODDER/VACUUM MACHINE INCLUDING CAB AND CHASSIS Mr. Leszczynski advised that the Board is in receipt of a Memorandum from Mr. Robert Kruszynski, Manager, Department of Sanitation, concerning the two (2) bids received on April 13, 1992, for the above referred to equipment. Mr. Kruszynski indicated that the Board received one (1) bid from Deeds Equipment Company, Inc., 8015 East 45th Street, P.O. Box 26036, Lawrence, Indiana, for one (1) new Peabody Myers Vactor Model 2110C-2 Combination Sewer Cleaner mounted on a new 1992 Ford LN8000 single axle truck in the amount of $139,989.00 and one (1) bid from Best Equipment Company, Inc., 2804 North Catherwood Avenue, Indianapolis, Indiana, for one (1) Vac -Con combination sewer and catch basin cleaner in the amount of $134,968.00. Mr. Kruszynski noted that the bid for the Vactor met the requirements of the specifications. The bid for a Vac -Con however, failed to meet the specifications in significant ways. Mr. Kruszynski submitted a detailed three (3) page list of comparisons between the two bids. It was noted that the bid for a Vac -Con failed to meet the following requirements which were considered the most serious: - Specifications required an aluminum centrifugal compressor for safety reasons. The bid for a Vac -Con specified stainless steel fan blades instead of aluminum fan blades. The bid for a Vactor was an aluminum centrifugal compressor as required. - Specifications required the jet rodder/vacuum machine to have the capability to vacuum with the truck in the driving mode. The Vac -Con is capable of meeting this specific requirement but the bid failed to do so. The bid for a Vac -Con lists this capability as an option but it was not offered as part of the bid price. The bid for a Vactor offers a machine that does meet the specifications in this respect. - Specifications required hose reel controls on both sides of the reel for operator safety. By having controls on both sides of the hose reel, it would never be necessary for an operator to stand in traffic while operating the reel. Dual hose reel controls are not standard for either manufacturer that bid for this equipment. The low bid for a Vac -Con only has a single control. The Vactor does provide for dual controls and met the specifications. - Since this particular piece of equipment is used to vacuum fluids, its electrical system is subject to shorting. Specifications required, therefore, that the entire electrical system be sealed to NEMA 4 standards. Again, it is not standard for either company that bid on this equipment to provide a sealed electrical system. The bid for a Vac -Con did not contain a sealed electrical system. The bid for a Vactor will meet specifications. Finally, Mr. Kruszynski noted that the specifications also required equipment with an eight foot (81) boom. The bid for a Vac -Con was with a five foot (51) boom. The bid for a Vactor will meet the specifications. The bid for a Vactor provided, REGULAR MEETING MAY 4, 1992 however, that the City could deduct $6,500.00 from the bid price if it would substitute a four foot (41) boom. Because of its placement on the machine, the Vactor's four foot (41) boom has a bigger reach than the Vac-Con's five foot (51) boom. In other words, the City could allow a deduction of $6,500.00 from the bid for a Vactor thereby making it the low bidder, and still have a machine with a bigger reach than the five foot (51) boom Vac -Con machine. This is pointed out not because it is recommended to go with the smaller boom but because if both are compared in that regard, the bid for the Vactor is actually the lowest bid. Based on the failure of the low bidder to meet the specifications in significant respects, it is the recommendation of the Department of Sanitation that the bid be awarded to Deeds Equipment Company, Inc., 8015 East 45th Street, P.O. Box 26036, Lawrence, Indiana, for a total bid price of $139,989.00. Board Attorney Mary H. Mueller indicated that the low bidder, Best Equipment Company, was rejected as they failed to meet specifications and she therefore agrees with the recommendation and makes a motion to award the bid of Deeds Equipment, the next low bidder. Mr. Caldwell seconded the motion which carried. APPROVE CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 - PLUMBING WORK - FIRE STATION ##4 Mr. Leszczynski stated that the Board is in receipt of a letter from Fire Chief Luther Taylor advising that on March 16, 1992, the Board approved and awarded the Quotation of Niezgodski Plumbing, Inc., in the amount of $2,366.88 to replace internal water lines at Fire Station *4 located at 220 North Olive Street. Chief Taylor noted that the work to be performed consisted of replacing internal water lines that were known to be restricted causing a significant decrease in water pressure. By replacing those lines, the low water pressure was improved but did not completely correct the problem. In order to completely correct this problem, additional internal water lines need to be replaced and therefore Chief Taylor is recommending that the additional water lines be replaced increasing the project by $2,070.88 for a new cost of $4,437.76. Mr. Caldwell made a motion that the recommendation be accepted and the additional work and cost be approved. Mrs. Mueller seconded the motion which carried.
