Oakland Macomb Interceptor Drain (OMID) Contract 3 - Inland Waters Submits Low Bid

On July 19, 2011, the Oakland Macomb Interceptor Drain (OMID) Drainage District received and opened bids for Contract 3.  Two bidders submitted bids:  
  • Inland Waters Pollution Control . . . . .$34,773,040
  • L. D'Agostini & Sons . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $36,127,338
The details of this project were in an earlier post (here).

Comment: There is great irony in the fact that both of these bidders were named in the federal lawsuit filed by Macomb County on July 18, 2011. That lawsuit arises out of repair work performed by Inland Waters and L. D'Agostini & Sons on the very same interceptor in 2004. 

Update (7/25): The OMI Drain Board is meeting on July 26, 2011 and is scheduled to vote on a resolution to award Contract 3 to Inland Waters Pollution Control.
