Two bids were from majority business enterprises and one was from a certified emerging female business enterprise. The bids have been evaluated and an award is recommended to U.S. Utility Contractor Company, as the lowest responsive and responsible bid received, in the amount of $228,877.98. Please see attachments to this ordinance for further bid information.

In addition, approval is requested for the expenditure of $34,881.00 to pay the estimated construction inspection costs to the Transportation Division.
