Klosinski, P.E., Assistant City Engineer SUBJECT: Agenda Request — Bid Award South Well Field, Water Treatment Plant, and Distribution System Improvements — Bid Package 2 Division A (Rebid) Project No. 117-059A / DFO PROJ00000082 DATE: June 27, 2025 The Board of Public Works received and opened public bids for the subject project at its Regular Meeting on June 10, 2025. The Department of Public Works, Division of Engineering, Division of Water Works, and Donohue & Associates (Engineer of Record) have reviewed the bids, and the bid prices ranked as follows: BASE BID - BID PACKAGE 2 DIVISION A BIDDER BASE BID 1. R. Yoder Construction, Inc. $3,670,297.00 2. Bowen Engineering $4,015,000.00 Bid Assessment: Donohue & Associates provided a Bid Review of the subject bids, and both bidders omitted some information that was requested in the Bid Package regarding experience questionnaires, work plan, equipment, and subcontractor lists. However, both bidders have completed projects for the City of South Bend, and both bidders are pre -qualified. Since Public Works has employed both contractors on previous projects, we are aware of their work products and both are qualified to complete the work. This project has a Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Utilization Goal of 1.11 % and a Women Business Enterprise (WBE) Utilization Goal of 4.24%. The lowest bidder, R. Yoder Construction, provided an MBE Utilization Plan with 0.272% participation and a WBE Utilization Plan with 0.717% participation, in total approximately $36,300 of their Base Bid price. Review of R. Yoder Construction's MBE and WBE good faith efforts suggest that good faith efforts to contact and obtain quotations for subcontractor work were made, but some of the MBE and WBE contractors were either too busy with current workloads to commit to the project or unable to supply a price for use at the time of bid. Bowen Engineering provided an MBE Utilization Plan with 1.31 % participation and a WBE Utilization Plan with 4.69% participation, in total approximately $240,900 of their Base Bid price. R. Yoder Construction's Base Bid price was $344,703.00 lower than Bowen Engineering's Base Bid price. Bid Recommendation: Public Works, the Division of Engineering, and Division of Water Works recommend the award of Project No. 117-059A South Well Field, Water Treatment Plant, and Distribution System Improvements — Bid Package 2, Division A to R. Yoder Construction, Inc. for the Base Bid amount of $3,670,297.00. If the Board of Public Works accepts and grants a Good Faith Waiver for this project through the acceptance of R. Yoder Construction, Inc.'s bid submittal, the award of Bid Package 2 Division A and Division B (separate bid award) both present the most economical construction project in comparison to the Base Bid submittal received for Bid Package #1. The lowest bidder maintains an opportunity to secure additional MBE and WBE subcontractors to try to improve on the MBE and WBE Utilization Goals. This project is funded out of the Southside TIF and Water Capital Fund. For questions regarding the subject Agenda Request or project scope of work, contact Jacob M. Klosinski (Ext. 9496) at the Division of Engineering.

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.

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.

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 Contractor's Bid for Public Works - 5 may result in forfeiture of contractual payments.

YODER CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEE HANDBOOK R. Yoder Construction has a strong commitment to its employees to provide a safe work environment. This requires that personnel, equipment, and operating practices be consistent with high standards of health and safety. R. Yoder .............. Construction expects all employees to report for work free of alcohol and illegal drugs. The presence of illegal drugs or alcohol on the job and the influence of these .............. substances on employees are inconsistent with these objectives. Our policy with respect to drugs is as follows: .............. .............. 1. R. Yoder Construction will conduct drug and/or alcohol testing under any of the following circumstances: Pre -employment, Random, Reasonable Cause, and Post -Accident Testing (see a fuller description of these circumstances on .............. the next page for more information). .............. 2. The use, sale, distribution, possession, or being under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol by R. Yoder Construction employees while on the .............. job or on R. Yoder Construction's property is prohibited. Likewise, you may not distribute, misuse, or abuse any prescription medications on R. Yoder .............. Construction premises or elsewhere during working time. Any individual violating these rules will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination of employment. .............. 1 Individuals who appear to be under the influence of a controlled substance will be removed from the job immediately and be subject to a drug or alcohol test. An employee's refusal to comply with a drug or alcohol test will make .............. them subject to automatic termination. .............. .............. 4. If an employee is injured on the job, the employee will be required to, at the discretion of Management, submit to a drug and/or alcohol test. An employee .............. testing positive for illegal drugs or found to be under the influence of alcohol will be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. An .............. employee's refusal to comply with a drug and alcohol test will make them subject to automatic termination. .............. .............. 5. R. Yoder Construction's management reserves the right to authorize inspections for possible policy violations. Any illegal substances will be .............. turned over to the appropriate law enforcement and may result in criminal prosecution. .............. .............. NOTE EMPLOYEES USING A PRESCRIPTION DRUG that may impair their physical .............. or mental ability and affect their ability to perform duties safely MUST REPORT this to management before reporting to work after its use. A determination will be made by the company if the employee's work assignment is affected. Failure to do so will cause the employee to be subject to disciplinary action up to and including immediate termination of employment. .............. Following is a more complete description of the circumstances when R. Yoder .............. Construction will conduct drug and/or alcohol testing: EMPLOYEE BENEFITS & SERVICES 33 .............. + PRE -EMPLOYMENT TESTING: Each individual offered employment must pass a drug test as a condition of employment. Management has the right to waive .............. this requirement on an individual basis. + RANDOM TESTING: Employees may be selected at random for drug testing at .............. any interval determined by the Company. .............. + REASONABLE CAUSE TESTING: The Company may ask an employee to .............. submit to a drug and/or alcohol test at any time it has reasonable cause to believe that the employee may be under the influence of drugs or .............. alcohol during working hours, including, but not limited to, the following circumstances: observation of drug use, evidence of drugs or alcohol on or about the employee's person or in the employee's vicinity during working .............. hours, specific observations concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, or body odors of an employee, unusual conduct on the employee's part as .............. evidenced by the employee's work time actions, appearance, or conduct, arrest or conviction for a drug- and/or alcohol -related offense (about which employees are required to notify HR within 3 calendar days). .............. + POST -ACCIDENT TESTING: Any employee involved in an on-the-job accident or injury that results in (a) death, (b) bodily injury that requires medical treatment away from the scene of the accident, or (c) property damage of at .... least $250.00 will be asked to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test. "Involved .......... in an on-the-job accident or injury" means not only the one who was or could have been injured but also any employee who potentially contributed to the accident or injury event in any way. Near misses may be subject to testing under this policy as well. An employee who does not report an injury on the .............. day of occurrence and is required to seek medical assistance at a later date . . . . . . . . . . may be subject to a drug test. .............. .............. .. Voluntary Identification and Rehabilitation/Treatment ............ .............. .............. An employee who voluntarily says he has a drug- or alcohol -related problem will not be subject to discipline for volunteering that fact. Instead, the employee may request an unpaid leave of absence to undergo rehabilitation or treatment to overcome dependence on drugs or alcohol or to participate in other programs recommended by a substance abuse professional. .............. This leave will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of leave policies. .............. .............. Since the key to rehabilitation is the willingness to admit and seek to remedy the problem, this provision is not available to one who requests help (1) after being . . . asked to submit to testing or (2) after the employee's use of drugs or alcohol .............. becomes a personnel issue based on direct observation or evidence obtained from an arrest or criminal conviction for a drug- or alcohol -related offense. Further, employees who volunteer such information and participate in a rehabilitation/ treatment program must still comply with rules concerning alcohol and drugs and will be subject to discipline for a violation. .............. 34 R.
