Statement of Purpose

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the split award of the bituminous needed for street maintenance activities for the 2022 construction season. The total amounts requested are estimates only, and do not guarantee that a minimum amount of product will be purchased from any vendor.

 

Bituminous specifications are based on the current MN Department of Transportation Construction Standards. Two bituminous mixes are used by the city, and the product is picked up on an as-needed basis by street maintenance crews.

 

The purchasing division posted an Invitation for Bids on March 10, 2022 and received three bids by the due date. The bids were evaluated based on the total overall cost to the city, factoring in the bid price and the estimated labor and equipment costs to travel to each company’s plant location.

 

Splitting the award allows the city to purchase material from any of the three vendors depending upon the location of the project and the availability of a particular mix.
