Subject: Closeout for WD-2693 8-Inch and 12-Inch Ductile Iron Water Main Replacement on 21st, Bryant, Ford, Hancock, and Cumberland Streets
The Contract Monitoring Division (“CMD”) has determined that M Squared Construction Inc. (“MSC”) has substantially complied with the LBE subcontracting requirements associated with this project.
At the time the project was advertised, an LBE subcontracting requirement of 20% was established.
MSC’s Subcontractor List (Document 00 43 36) reflected an LBE subcontractor participation commitment of 20.68%. MSC was awarded the contract in the amount of $3,861,635. After five (5) change orders, the final contract amount is $4,187,754.76. At closeout, the LBE subcontracting participation is as follows:

Per the Prime, as confirmed by the SFPUC, the contract increases did not include Basset Engineering’s scope of work. As a result, Basset Engineering was provided the fullest extent of their scope of work.
