Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
RESOLVED, that the proper city officials are hereby authorized to amend a contract with Northland Constructors of Duluth, Inc. (Northland) for bituminous for street maintenance activities in 2022 for an increase of $194,600 and a new total not to exceed $356,590, payable from 290-500-5222 (street system maint utility; public works and utilities; blacktop)
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes an increase of $194,600 to the contract with (Northland) for the bituminous needed for street maintenance activities for the 2022 construction season.
The City issued three purchase orders to three separate vendors for bituminous material to be purchased based on total overall cost to the city, factoring in the bid price and estimated labor and equipment costs to travel to each company’s plant location. Project locations and material availability have resulted in most purchases coming from (Northland). The remaining funds from the purchase orders to the other two vendors have been transferred to Northland’s contract to offset the increase.
