Resolution to Approve Award of a Construction Contract to Lanzo Lining Services, Inc. - Michigan for the 2014 Sewer Lining Project ($1,566,121.00; Bid No. ITB-4322)
Memorandum
Attached for your review and consideration for approval is a resolution to authorize the award of a contract to Lanzo Lining Services, Inc. - Michigan in the amount of $1,566,121.00 for the 2014 Sewer Lining Project.
This project includes the lining of approximately 18,028 lineal feet of sanitary sewer and 2,942 lineal feet of storm sewer at 16 locations throughout the City.
