Box 1115 La Porte, TX 77571 f~- ATTN: Jack Owen, City Manager CONTRACT AWARD RECONIl`4ENDATION, :tEBID OF CONTRACT IV - REHABILITATION OF SANITARY SEWER COLLECTION SYSTEt1, E.P.A. PROJECT C-481176-03-0 The low bidder on the ref erenced project was Reliance Construction, Inc., with a bid of $552,392.50. Since this contractor was unknown to us prior to the rebidding of this project, his background and ref erences have been thoroughly investigated. Although Reliance Construction, Inc., has no previous experience in the construction of similar facilities, the company now employs the former employees of Moon Construction. Moon Construction was the minority business enterprise (MBE) subcontractor to Tinker Industr ies/Jesse Lovelace (A Joint Venture) on the original project and is experienced in rehabilitation type work. • The City of Houston, City of Bellaire, and City of Toledo, Ohio have given favorable responses as to the performance and quality of work done by Reliance Construction, Inc. When Moon Construction was working on the original project as a subcontractor, they performed good work up until the time the prime contractor abandoned the project. With good reports on Reliance Construction, Inc., and previous good experience with Moon Construction, it is anticipated that Reliance Construction, Inc., will do a satisfactory job for the City of La Porte. Therefore, it is our recommendation that the contract for this project be awarded to Reliance Construction, Inc., of Houston, Texas on the basis of their low bid. Sincerely, ~~. ~ ~~, David A.
