SUBJECT: Open Market Contract - Project No. 123-0621
614 Sherman Ave. TIF Project — Tree Clearing
DATE: 04/16/2024
On April 9, 2024, the Board of Public Works attempted to open and read aloud quotes for the
subject project. The scope of work is to clear trees and brush for a new duplex unit from the City's
pre -approved housing construction plans.
Quotes were solicited from Tony Ruiz Construction (TRCC LLC), New Image Tree Service, and
Michiana Tree Works. No quotes were received. In accordance with Indiana State Code, the
project was procured in the Open Market.
TRCC LLC followed up after the quote opening and was able to provide an Open Market quote
in the amount of $7,800. Their quote is complete and responsive, addressing all requirements of
the original quote request.
