Resolution to Authorize an Increase of the Purchase Order to Pro-Tec Equipment, Inc., of $31,150.00 for a Total Purchase Order of $51,000.00, for the Rental of the Temporary Pedestrian Bridge on Ann Arbor-Saline Road ($51,000.00)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and approval is a resolution that authorizes a purchase order for the rental costs of the temporary pedestrian bridge on Ann Arbor-Saline Road.
Staff is requesting an increase in the purchase order because although the schedule to replace the bridge was compressed, completion of the permanent structure will not be completed this fall. It was important to fulfill the public hearing requirement and allow the normal bid process and contract execution. Fabrication of the permanent bridge will take 10-12 weeks. The earliest the permanent structure will be in place is estimated to be at the end of December.
This resolution will extend the rental purchase order to allow the temporary bridge to remain in place until the construction of the permanent bridge is complete or by January 31, 2011.

The cost of the rental is $3,200.00 per month plus freight charges for placement and removal.
