Aggregate Material Purchase |
| | | | | | | | | BACKGROUND: | Annually, the City purchases large quantities of various aggregate materials for use in its maintenance of properties, roads, and utility systems. The largest purchases are 4,500 tons of sand for ice control purposes, as well as 4,000–5,000 tons of gravel for utility repairs and maintenance of gravel streets and shoulders.
In September 2023, quotes were requested for 1-year and 3-year unit pricing on various aggregate materials from A. Lindberg and Sons, Oberstar, Smith Construction, and Associated Constructors, all of Marquette, Michigan. |
|
| | | | | | | | | FISCAL EFFECT: | | The City will spend approximately $140,000 per year, each of the 3 years, for the purchase of aggregate materials used in maintenance operations. The repair and maintenance line items of the operating budgets for the Local Street Fund, Major Street Fund, Water Fund, Sewer Fund and Sidewalk Fund contain funding for the purchase of this material. The actual quantities used will be charged to the appropriate funds as the material is used. |
|
| | | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION: | Authorize the purchase of aggregate materials from A. Lindberg and Sons of Ishpeming, Michigan at the 3-year unit prices quoted in the amount not-to-exceed $140,000 annually through FY 2026. |

| | | | | | | | | ALTERNATIVES: | | As determined by the Commission. |
