Company, Inc. in the amount of$34,900. A total of $60,000 was budgeted for this Project.
As illustrated by the attached bid tabulation, the bids ranged from a high of $1 05,990 to the low
bid. Low bidder was checked by the Engineer for past work experience, safety experience and
references. Utility Service Company, Inc. has successfully completed projects for the Engineer,
and is recommended by the Engineer for bid award.
It is recommended that the contract be awarded to Utility Service Company, Inc. in the amount
of $34,900. A contingency of$I,745 is also recommended.
Action ReQuired bv Council: Approve an ordinance authorizing the City Manager to execute a
contract with Utility Service Company, Inc. in the amount of $34,900, with a contingency of
$1,745.
