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 6006362 with LGC Global, Inc., for Minock Park Greening Services (Project PC-814); for a total contract amount not-to-exceed $1,399,818.10 and a term of one year. This also authorizes the Director to take such other action as may be necessary to accomplish the intent of this vote.
BACKGROUND / JUSTIFICATION
DWSD received a USDA Forest Service - GLRI Forest Restoration Grant for the proposed project. DWSD will provide additional funding for expenditures above the granted amount. The proposed contract will provide the DWSD with additional infrastructure to address street potential flooding and improve the drainage in the catchment area.
The Minock Park Greening Project is in the Minock Park neighborhood on Detroit’s westside and is in the Main 3-4 sub-watershed of the Rouge River. This project is part of a larger stormwater master planning effort that seeks to reduce combine sewer overflows (CSOs) by removing imperviousness, incorporating green stormwater infrastructure (GSI) (i.e. large-scale residential bioretention cells), planting trees, and creating reserved green pedestrian corridors to promote neighborhood stabilization. Specifically, this project involves the de-paving of Blackstone Street between Keeler and Midland streets, the creation of two shallow GSIs practices, and the planting of 250 trees along with watermain reroute.
PROCUREMENT METHOD
This procurement was competitively solicited through a Request for Bids (RFB) per Requisition 509002, which was fully approved on 3/31/24. The RFB was advertised on the Michigan Inter-Governmental Trade Network (MITN) BidNet website for 35 calendar days (4/5/24 - 5/10/24). MITN published this opportunity to 1080 companies and 60 firms downloaded the bid package. Four (4) bids were received:

A bid from Inner City Contracting was deemed non-responsible because the bid failed to meet minimum qualifications for the project.
The evaluation of the bids was based on the lowest bid price. As the apparent equalized low bidder, LGC Global, Inc., was evaluated and determined to be responsive. Therefore, it is recommended that LGC Global, Inc. be awarded the contract resulting from the RFB for PC-814 in the amount of $1,399,818.10. The bid tab and responsiveness evaluation, and LGC’s bid was forwarded to the Engineering Division.
LGC Global clearances expire on 12/6/24 and the formal contract document has been sent to the vendor for review and signature.
