DISCUSSION:
Purchasing received a request from the Transportation and Public Works Department (TPW) to conduct a bid for the procurement of Cem-Lime &

allows dry cement to be mixed with a liquid prior to application at the project site.

solicited from the purchasing vendor database system; one bid was received.

PRICE ANALYSIS - Pricing for delivery and spreading of the product has increased by twenty three dollars a ton and is within the industry standard
prices.
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE ORDER - An administrative change order or increase may be made by the City Manager in the amount up to
$50,000.00 and does not require specific City Council approval as long as sufficient funds have been appropriated.
M/WBE OFFICE - A waiver of the goal for MBE/SBE subcontracting requirements was requested by the Purchasing Division and approved by the
M/WBE Office, in accordance with the BDE Ordinance because the subcontracting opportunities are negligible
AGREEMENT TERM - One Year
RENEWAL OPTIONS - This Agreement may be renewed for up to four additional one-year terms at the City's option. This action does not require
specific City Council approval provided that the City Council has appropriated sufficient funds to satisfy the City's obligations during the renewal
term.

budget, as appropriated, of the General Fund, and that funds are available in the current capital budget, as appropriated, in the General Capital

Department has the responsibility to validate the availability of funds.
