Anderson Plaza <br /> Decatur, IL 62523 <br /> Re: Bid Results <br /> City Project 2010-13, Section No. 10-00013-00-FP <br /> Main & Franklin Street Reconstruction & Rehabilitation <br /> Aka Route S1 Street Improvements <br /> Dear Mr. Marley: <br /> We have reviewed the bid results for the subject project and recommend the City reject the one and <br /> only bid from Illinois Valley Paving (UCM) in the amount of$1,849,256.24. It appears that the material <br /> for Polymerized Hot-Mix Asphalt is only manufactured by one company there by limiting the number of <br /> contractors able to bid on this project. The Polymerized material was recommended by IDOT District 7 <br /> due to the trucks using these roadways. Our office recommends rebidding the project and changing the <br /> Polymerized Hot-Mix Asphalt to a Non Polymerized material in an effort to allow more contractors the <br /> opportunity to bid on this project. More than one contractor should provide a more competitive bidding <br /> situation. <br /> Please contact me if you have any questions or comments. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> HOMER L.
