New Water and Wastewater Lines on South Sylvan

As of November 2, 2022, construction is underway. A timeline for completion has not been confirmed. The City is aware of the extreme market fluctuations occurring for these services, so we are striving to arrive at a bid format that satisfies state bid law and also protects vendors against future price increases. To protect the vendor and the City, we will ask your company to establish a baseline price for the services and products listed. Prices can be negotiated after bids are opened based on increases and/or decreases in the same amount as the market changes. However, the winning vendor(s) will be asked to provide documentation proving a change in price has occurred. If prices decrease over the term of this agreement, the winning vendor(s) will be expected to pass along these decreases in pricing. The City will assume that by submitting a bid under this format that your company agrees to this market protection. If you have a different method of price protection, please include your information in your response.
