WHEREAS, The City of Monticello, Iowa is an incorporated City within Jones County, Iowa; and
WHEREAS, Eastern Iowa Excavating & Concrete, Inc. submitted a quotation to perform certain work for the City based upon a project description provided by the City, same being generally referred to as the 2017 Main Street Manhole Replacement Project, and
WHEREAS, The City PW Director sought quotations from three contractors, all of whom expressed interest, with two of them submitting quotations, Eastern Iowa Excavating submitting a quote in the amount of $91,125 and Tschiggfrie Excavating submitting a quotation in the amount of $98,945.20, and
WHEREAS, The City Engineer was involved in the preparation of the project description and plan, and
WHEREAS, The City Council finds that the replacement of seven (7) brick or partially brick manholes on Main Street in advance of the Main Street resurfacing project makes sense from a timing standpoint and also makes sense from the standpoint of reducing Inflow and Infiltration (I and I) issues within the sanitary sewer system that are exacerbated by the general porosity of aged brick manholes, and
WHEREAS, The Council finds that the quotation received from Eastern Iowa Excavating should be accepted and that an agreement should be drafted and entered by and between the City of Monticello and Eastern Iowa Excavating to perform said work in the spring and early summer of 2017, in advance of the Main Street reconstruction and overlay project.
