Background :

The pavement on 10th Street, 50 feet east of Ardmore Avenue, caved in due to a collapsed sewer line. The City contacted six contractors for this emergency repair.

In addition, contractors currently under contract with the City were contacted to bid. On March 14, 2001, Staff met with four of the contractors at the job site and provided them with a copy of the bid package. Due to the emergency nature of the work, no advertising was done. The City Clerk received one bid by the closing date of March 15, 2001, therefore, the informal bid deadline for this emergency work was extended to March 19, 2001. The City did not receive any other bids by the second closing date. The single bid was publicly opened and read aloud. The bid result is as follows:
