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 DWSD Contract No. 6005538 for 1,335 tons of Cold Patch Material, CP-5 Modified with Cadillac Asphalt for a new contract amount not-to-exceed $186,900.00 and a term of 1 year.

BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION

 

DWSD Warehouses receive, stock, store and issue materials to various DWSD Divisions to support the Field work of our Operations Group. Patch material is essential for completion of many DWSD projects. Cold patch (specification #CP-5) is used year around to patch excavation holes on streets and sidewalks made by DWSD during repairs of water and sewer assets and similar service work orders. To support their work, DWSD’s Materials Management team maintains a readily available supply at both the CSF and West Yard warehouses. Cold patch is bid out annually due to its volatile pricing. This contract will assure that operations will run smoothly and to replenish stock preventing emergency spot buys and possible work stoppage.
