Re:     Evergreen Cemetery Irrigation Well Bids


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

Authorize staff to accept the alternate bid from Brass-Mar Water Wells. Their
alternate bid of $23,402 is for the same size well (eight inch casing), but with a
smaller pump motor, 15hp instead of the 25hp. The 15hp motor will adequately
irrigate Evergreen Cemetery. The only additional cost will be to upgrade the electric
service at Evergreen Cemetery from a 100 amp service to a 200 amp service to
accommodate the new well pump. An estimated cost of $2,000.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Less than $27,000 total.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

This project is on the 2009 Capital Improvement Budget for $30,000.

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

Authorize staff to enter into an agreement with Brass-Mar Water Wells to drill well
and install and connect with the present irrigation system.

SUBJECT:      Request to Purchase Fire Engine


SUMMARY OF REQUEST:

Fire Department staff solicited bids for the procurement of a fire engine. The engine

Michigan. The bid price submitted by Crimson is $507,963. A bid sheet is attached.
This price is over the budget allotted for this purchase.

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

Funds for this purchase would be drawn from the City’s Public Improvement Fund.

BUDGET ACTION REQUIRED:

None

STAFF RECOMMENDATIONS:

Reject the bid because it is over budget, but allow Fire Department staff to enter into
negotiations with Crimson Fire to purchase a fire engine that would meet budget
guidelines.
