DIVISION OF ENGINEERING
1Sfi5
TO: Theresa Heffner, Clerk
Board of Public Works
FROM: Zach Hurst, PE, Sr. Project Engineer
SUBJECT: Award Bid - Project No. 122-034
Fire Station #8 Replacement
DATE: 08/30/2023
On July 25, 2023, the Board of Public Works opened and read bids for the above project.
Four bids were received, from R Yoder Construction, Larson Danielson Construction, Gibson -
Lewis LLC, and Brown & Brown General Contractors. The base bid option is a one -bay fire
station. The alternate bid is for a two -bay fire station, which would accommodate an additional
medical response vehicle.
A breakdown of the bids is as follows:
Contractor:
R Yoder
Construction
Gibson Lewis
Larson
Danielson
Brown & Brown
Base Bid:
$3,363,200
$3,764,000
$3,858,000
$3,948,000
Alternate Bid:
$3,703,850
$4,066,000
$4,113,000
$4,351,000
I recommend award of the alternate bid (two -bay option) for Fire Station #8 Replacement to R
Yoder Construction, in the amount of $3,703,850.00. Funding is available through PR-
00025426.
The R Yoder bid contained three irregularities which warrant discussion.
1. Its bid included a Clarifications sheet (attached); however, the Clarifications sheet did
not impact the bid price, nor deviate from the project Specifications. The City is awarding
this project strictly based on the specifications and what R Yoder offered.
2. Its bid also included a non -collusion affidavit which listed R Yoder's representative but
did not include a signature. It is the belief of the City that the lack of signature does not
disqualify the bid and that no competitive advantage was received through this omission.
The City believes that this was akin to a Scribner's error and seeks to correct the record
with the attached executed affidavit.
3. Its bid did not meet the MWBE Goal requirements. An explanation of R Yoder's MWBE
effort is below. A good faith waiver is being granted based upon the City's internal team
who reviewed R Yoder's bid and its supporting documentation which it presented in the
bid and upon request of the City.
Page 1 of 2
MWBE Analvsis:
MBE goal: 3.4%
• Met via D.A. Dodd: $814,050.00 (22.0%)
WBE goal: 4.5%
• Goal not met — Good Faith Effort waiver granted (see attachment)
• R Yoder contacted nine (9) different WBE firms for subcontracting opportunities, but only
one firm returned a bid to perform drywall work. That bid was approximately 300% more
expensive than the selected drywall subcontractor.
It should be noted that the bids from Larson Danielson, Gibson Lewis, and Brown & Brown all
failed to meet the MWBE goals and failed to provide evidence of good faith effort as well.

that:
1. Contractor has not, nor has any other member, representative, or agent of the firm, company,

without any agreement, understanding or combination with any other person in reference to such bidding.
Contractor further says that no person or persons, firms, or corporation has, have or will receive directly or
indirectly, any rebate, fee, gift, commission or thing of value on account of such sale; and
2. Contractor certifies by submission of this proposal that neither contractor nor any of its principals
are presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, declared ineligible, or voluntarily excluded from
participation in this transaction by any Federal department or agency; and
3. Contractor has not, nor has any successor to, nor an affiliate of, Contractor, engaged in
investment activities in Iran.
a. For purposes of this Certification, "Iran" means the government of Iran and any agency
or instrumentality of Iran, or as otherwise defined at Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-5, as
amended from time -to -time.
b. As provided by Ind. Code § 5-22-16.5-8, as amended from time -to -time, a Contractor
is engaged in investment activities in Iran if either:
i. Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, provides goods or services of twenty
million dollars ($20,000,000) or more in value in the energy sector of Iran;
or
ii. Contractor, its successor or its affiliate, is a financial institution that extends

Version 09/29/2021 Contractors Bid for Public Works - 4
Contractor agrees that he/she/it shall enroll in and verify the work eligibility status of all of Contractor's
newly hired employees through the E-Verify Program as defined by I.C. 22-5-1.7-3. Contractor's
documentation of enrollment and participation in the E-Verify Program is included and attached as part of
this bid/quote; and
5. Contractor shall require his/her/its subcontractors performing work under this public contract to
certify that the subcontractors do not knowingly employ or contract with an unauthorized alien, nor retain
any employee or contract with a person that the subcontractor subsequently learns is an unauthorized alien,
and that the subcontractor has enrolled in and is participating in the E-Verify Program. The Contractor agrees
to maintain this certification throughout the term of the contract with the City of South Bend, and understands
that the City may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to cure a breach of this provision
no later than thirty (30) days after being notified by the City.
6. Persons, firms, partnerships, corporations, associations, or joint venturers awarded a contract by the
City of South Bend through its agencies, boards, or commissions shall not discriminate against any employee
or applicant for employment in the performance of a City contract with respect to hire, tenure, terms,
conditions, or privileges of contract or employment, or any matter directly or indirectly related to contracting
or employment because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, ancestry, gender expression, gender
identity, sexual orientation, or due to age or disability that does not affect that person's ability to perform the
work.
In awarding contracts for the purchase of work, labor, services, supplies, equipment, materials, or any
combination of the foregoing including, but not limited to, public works contracts awarded under public
bidding laws or other contracts in which public bids are not required by law, the City, its agencies, boards,
or commissions will consider the Contractor's good faith efforts to obtain participation by those
subcontractors certified by the State of Indiana as a Minority Business ("MBE") or as a Women's Business
Enterprise ("WBE") as a factor in determining the lowest, responsible, responsive bidder.
Contractors seeking the award of a City contract cannot be required to award a subcontract to an MWBE;
however, they may not unlawfully discriminate against said MBE/WBE. On goal -eligible contracts,
Contractors are required to either meet both MBE and WBE utilization goals or demonstrate that the
Contractor has made good faith efforts to obtain participation from MBE and WBE subcontractors. A finding
of noncompliance or a discriminatory practice shall prohibit that Contractor from being awarded a City
contract for a period of one (1) year from the date of such determination, and such determination may also
be grounds for terminating the contact to which the discriminatory practice or noncompliance pertains.
7. The undersigned Contractor agrees that the following nondiscrimination commitment shall be made
a part of any contract which it may henceforth enter into with the City of South Bend, Indiana or any of its
agencies, boards or commissions.
Contractor agrees not to discriminate against or intimidate any employee or applicant for employment in the
performance of this contract with privileges of employment, or any matter directly or indirectly related to
employment, because of race, religion, color, sex, gender expression, gender identity, sexual orientation,
handicap, national origin or ancestry. Breach of this provision may be regarded as material breach of
contract.
I, the undersigned bidder or agent as contractor on a public works project, understand my statutory
obligations to the use of steel products or foundry products made in the United States (I.C. 5-16-8-1). I hereby
certify that I and all subcontractors employed by me for this project will use steel products or foundry
products made in the United States on this project if awarded. I understand I have an affirmative duty to
notify the City in my bid that my proposal does not include the use of steel products or foundry products
made in the United States. I understand it is my sole obligation and responsibility to provide a justification
to the City, subject to review and approval, why the cost of United States made steel or foundry products is
unreasonable. Prior to award and upon submission of bid which does not use steel products or foundry
products made in the United States, the City, through its director of public works, shall make a determination
if the price of United States made steel or foundry is unreasonable. I understand that violations hereunder
Version 09/29/2021 Contractors Bid for Public Works - 5
may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.
I hereby affirm under the penalties of perjury that the facts and information contained in the foregoing bid
for public works are true and correct.
