Body
Dear Sir:
On July 16, 2026, the Board of Commissioners authorized the Director of Procurement and Materials Management to advertise for bids Contract 26-934-11, Furnishing and Delivering Magnesium Chloride.
In response to a public advertisement of August 26, 2026, a bid opening was held on September 15, 2026. The bid tabulation for this contract is:
SCOTWOOD INDUSTRIES LLC $1,083,573.60
ENVIROTECH SERVICES, LLC $1,115,657.00
Scotwood Industries, LLC, the lowest responsible bidder, is proposing to perform the contract in accordance with the specifications. The estimated cost for this contract was $1,071,200.00, placing their bid of $1,083,573.60 approximately 1.2% above the engineer’s estimate.
The Multi-Project Labor Agreement (MPLA) is not applicable to this contract because it is primarily a furnish and deliver contract.
The Affirmative Action Ordinance Revised Appendix D and Appendix V are not applicable to this contract because there are no subcontracting opportunities.
The bid deposit, in the amount of $54,000.00, will be retained in lieu of a performance bond, which is satisfactory to the Law Department and approved by the Director of Procurement and Materials Management.
The Contractor shall furnish and deliver Magnesium Chloride, as ordered by the Engineer, beginning the later of five (5) days after the issuance date of a purchase order or December 1, 2026, and terminating twenty-four (24) months thereafter, or upon expenditure of available funds, whichever occurs sooner.
In view of the foregoing, it is recommended that the Director of Procurement and Materials Management be authorized to issue a purchase order for Contract 26-934-11 to Scotwood Industries, LLC in an amount not to exceed $1,083,573.60.
Funds for the 2026 expenditure, in the amount of $44,600.00, are available in Account 101-69000-623560. The estimated expenditures for 2027 and 2028 are $541,786.80 and $497,186.80, respectively, and are contingent on the Board of Commissioners’ approval of the budget for those years.
