NO. 96-12
AWARD OF CONTRACT
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of springfield is
designated as the Contract Review Board for the City under
Section 1-14-1 of the springfield Code, and
WHEREAS, Section 1-14-7(5) of the springfield Code provides
that it shall not be necessary for formal or informal bids to be
called in any case where the item to be purchased is manufactured
or available only through one company, and
WHEREAS, the Council, acting as the Contract Review Board
under the authority of Section 1-14-7(8) of the Springfield Code,
has the sole authority to grant exemptions from the requirement
for competitive bids in the case where they determine that the
public interest would best be served, favoritism is not
encouraged and competition is undiminished thereby, and where
specific reasons for such determinations is made of record, and
WHEREAS, the Council, has considered the proposal for sewer
lining services as proposed by Insituform Technologies, Inc.
dated March 6, 1996, which was not solicited by competitive bid,
and has determined that award of the contract for these services
to Insituform Technologies, Inc. would best serve the public
interest, would not encourage favoritism and would not diminish
competition, for the following reasons: .
(1) Insituform Technologies Inc. is the sole supplier
for the specific services desired for the sewer
rehabilitation needed in this year's sanitary sewer
rehabilitation project.
(2) Insituform Technologies Inc. (under their former
name, Gelco Inc.) has done work for the City in the
past two years under a competitive bid process and has
been the sole bidder for the project work and therefore
is no known competition for the work at this time.
(3) The cost per linear foot of sewer lining work in
the past two jobs bid by Gelco Inc. has been $68.00 per
foot and $83.00 per foot and the current proposal for
equivalent work is significantly lower at $39.59 per
foot.
(4) The proposal at the lower cost is an attempt by
Insituform Technologies to balance work load and is
therefore not valid beyond mid-March.
NOW THEREFORE, based on the foregoing Recitals and Findings
it is hereby resolved that the Common Council of the City of
