Attention: Mrs. Charlotte Brach, Assistant City Engineer
RE: PROJECT 125-047 – REVIEW OF BIDS
Dear Mrs. Brach:
JPR has reviewed the Itemized Proposal of the single Bidder on the South Bend 2025 Western Avenue
Transformation District – Phase 1 project. Attached to this letter please find the Certified Bid Tabulation
form for the itemized project bids.
Based on our review of the submitted quote the following are our comments:
1. Item 10A was calculated incorrectly on the bid form creating a $10 overage on Division A.
2. Indiana Earth Inc. agreed to keep item 52A -- Tree Watering System at no cost since it was missed on
the bid form, and a price for the same item was provided in Division B.
3. Item 1E was calculated incorrectly on the bid form creating a $69 overage on Alternate 3.
4. All necessary attachments were included with the Indiana Earth Inc. submission.
Based on the above information, and being the only contractor, Indiana Earth Inc. did submit the lowest
responsive bid for the Western Avenue Transformation District – Phase 1 project. With the addition of the
Rabbi Shulman Demolition Contract and Jones, Petrie, Rafinski Design Contract totaling $2,498,000.00,
the combined budget for all three contracts equals $10.3M, which includes the $300,000 in water funding
in addition to the $10M HUD loan. This includes a 5% contingency in the construction contract for
unforeseen conditions allowances.
Therefore, it is our engineering recommendation that the City of South Bend shall confirm the bid
of Indiana Earth Inc. and approve and award Divisions A and B, along with Alternate 2, including
Item 52A at no cost, for the bid contract amount of $7,791,518.00.
Thank you very much for your time and consideration. Should you have any questions or concerns please
contact me at (574) 232-4388 or by email at mvoll@jpr1source.com.
Sincerely,
Michael Voll
Transportation Division Lead
