BACKGROUND:
In July 2022, staff issued Bid 22-187, Aggregate Materials, to solicit a qualified vendor to provide coarse and fine aggregates for use in a variety of Water Utilities, Electric Utilities, and Department of Public Works construction and repair projects. Projects include various underground utility work, duct bank bedding, street repairs, shoulder dressing, construction of public facilities, and winter operation for traction during specific ice events.
This was originally awarded to Green Dream, but in December 2022, Green Dream advised their prices will increase by 51% for the remainder of the contract. The contract with Green Dream was canceled due to the drastic increase in cost. The next lowest proposed cost for Aggregate Materials is Boughton Materials Inc.
