MOTION
Upon recommendation of Marqaicha Welch, Procurement Manager, the Board of Water Commissioners for the City of Detroit, Water and Sewerage Department authorizes the Director to approve Amendment No. 1 to DWSD Contract 6006772 with MacAllister Machinery Co. dba Michigan CAT; for the rental of as-needed Michigan Caterpillar Construction Equipment, utilizing the MiDeal Contract # 240000000165; the amendment is adding $311,800.00 in funding to the contract for a total amended contract amount not-to-exceed amount of $811,800.00.

BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) Meter Operations and Maintenance & Repair Divisions use equipment such as backhoes, excavators, mini-excavators, trailers, compressors, generators, towable light towers, dewatering pumps, trench shoring equipment, trailer mounted vacuum excavators (excluding Vactors), and other equipment on a regular basis to assist in the repair and maintenance of underground water and sewer assets.
Due to equipment failures and repair times of DWSD owned equipment, there may be an extended period when the ability to have construction equipment rented and delivered to DWSD in a timely manner is critical to maintain daily operations. The Fleet Division needs this increase to cover the cost for the rental of hydro for the lead service line project.
PROCUREMENT METHOD
The initial contract was initiated through Requisition #526049 requesting to utilize the MiDeal Contract # 240000000165, DWSD Procurement Policy allows for participation in cooperative purchasing agreements from other public purchasing consortiums of competitively solicited contracts. An ITR was published which generated no responsive, responsible bidders from a certified DBB and DRB business. Contract 6006772 was approved by the Board of Water Commissioners 11/20/24.
Proposed Amendment No. 1 was initiated by Fleet Operations by submitting Requisition #549425, which was approved by Budget on 7/6/26. Fleet is requesting to increase Contract 6006772 in the amount of $311,800 to cover the cost of rental for hydro for the Lead Service Line Replacement Project. LSLR will reimburse the cost. LSLR have already reimbursed a portion of this request of $187,200.00.
