Maintenance Materials/Services

The City of Big Rapids is soliciting sealed‑bid proposals for a one‑year maintenance materials and services contract covering a wide range of municipal infrastructure needs. The scope is broken into four major categories—equipment rentals, truck services, material supplies, and specialized services such as plumbing, directional boring, and water‑service line installation. Bidders must submit unit prices for each item; the City will award to the lowest responsive and qualified bidder. The contract runs from April 1 through December 31 2026, with a $150 per day liquidated‑damages clause for delays. • Equipment rentals include asphalt pavers, rollers, excavators, directional drills, and various skid‑steer configurations, priced per hour (many with a 5‑hour minimum). • Material supplies cover asphalt mixes, gravels, RAP, topsoil, sand, concrete curb and flat‑work, detectable warning plates, and specialty items such as crack‑seal and reprocessed concrete. • Services encompass licensed plumbing work, root treatment, copper water‑service pipe installation, and directional boring for copper and PVC. • Trucks (triaxles, quads, semi‑tractors) are also priced hourly; a hydrovac truck is listed with a unit rate.
