*The apparent low bidder Texas United Excavators, LLC, (TUE) has been determined by staff to be non-responsive to the contract specifications due to failure to comply with the prequalification pipe size restriction. TUE is prequalified to only install water and/or sanitary sewer mains 12 inches in diameter and smaller. This project includes 370 linear feet of 18 inch diameter sewer pipe.
  
In addition to the contract amount $24,000.00 (Water: $8,000.00 and Sewer: $16,000.00) is required for material testing and inspection and $56,800.60 (Water: $25,000.00 and Sewer: $31,800.60) is provided for change order contingencies.
  
M/WBE - Burnsco Construction, Inc., is in compliance with the City's M/WBE Ordinance by committing to nine percent M/WBE participation and documenting good faith. Burnsco Construction, Inc., identified several subcontracting and supplier opportunities. However, the M/WBE contacted in the areas identified did not submit the lowest bids. The City's goal on this project is 22 percent.
  
This project is located in COUNCIL DISTRICT 7.
