Resolution to Authorize a Service Purchase Order with The Bostwick Company for the Water Utilities Street Repair Program Bid No. ITB-4186 ($197,500.00/Year)
Memorandum
Attached is a resolution to authorize a service purchase order with The Bostwick Company for street repairs in areas where the watermains, storm and sanitary sewers were repaired as part of the Water Utilities Street Repair Program.

Each year the city performs maintenance to the watermains, storm and sanitary sewers that require street repairs when the work is complete. During the cold season the city also experiences a number of major watermain breaks that require extensive repairs. The Public Services Area, Field Operations Unit does not have the equipment or the personnel to perform these street repairs. These repairs often involve the replacement of the concrete base or the concrete street surface and we are not equipped to do this type of repair.

City staff prepared Invitations to Bid and published them on BidNet. The Bostwick Company was the only company to submit a bid. The Bostwick Company’s bid was accepted at $197,500.00 per year.

The Bostwick Company received Contract Compliance approval on September 26, 2011 and Living Wage approval on April 20, 2011.

Sufficient funds are available in the Public Services Area, Field Operations Unit, Water Supply System, Sewage Disposal System, and Stormwater System's FY12 operating budget.
