Title
First Extension to the Contract for Redi-Mix Concrete for FY 2005 (B)
Explanation
The contract with Cemex for redi-mix concrete dated January 20, 2004 expired on December 31, 2004. This firm has responded to the City's requests for services promptly and their services have been reliable and accurate. Due to the escalating costs of raw materials, trucking, insurance, labor, and environmental compliance, Cemex has requested an increase in their bid prices to cover this inflation of cost. The Public Works Department accepts Cemex's request and recommends extending this contract through December 31, 2005.
The Contract allows for two (2) extensions. This is the first request for an extension.
Fiscal Note
All purchases will be charged to the appropriate operating budget or capital improvement account.
Recommendation
The City Commission authorize the Interim City Manager or designee to execute the First Extension to the contract with Cemex for Redi-Mix Concrete, extending the term of the contract from January 1, 2005 to December 31, 2005, subject to approval by the City Attorney as to form and legality.
