CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2025-1843
MEETING OF OCTOBER 7, 2025
TO: Mayor Rawn and City Council
THRU: Matt Mihalevich, Active Transportation Manager
Chris Brown, Public Works Director
FROM: Dane Eifling, Mobility Coordinator
SUBJECT: Purchase of Transit Stop Enhancement Materials
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of a bid waiver and the purchase of 25 transit stop shelter structures and 3
benches from Brasco International in the amount of $269,700.00 plus applicable taxes.
BACKGROUND:
This purchase is part of the transit stop improvement grant approved by Council in August of this year to
accept $203,317.25. In order to provide the required 1:1 match Ozark Regional and Razorback Transit have
each committed to providing $50,829.30 for a total of $101,658.60 with City committing to match $101,658.65.
The grant requires that a minimum of 17 stops be improved by September 30th of 2026. The total project funds
($406,634.50) are sufficient to improve approximately 30 stops.
DISCUSSION:
Staff requests a waiver of competitive bidding requirements for this purchase as both transit agencies require
Brasco International per their standards for all shelters and seating. Ozark Regional and Razorback Transit are
responsible for maintenance of all bus shelters and benches once installed.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
The Transit Stop Infrastructure project has sufficient funds for this purchase.

sonable daily storage fees. Purchaser shall not have any right of setoff against Brasco. The remedies available to Brasco for Purchaser’s breach are intended to be as flexible as
permissible and cumulative to the fullest extent permissible and no choice of any one or more remedies is intended to constitute an election of remedies which would limit the ability to
assert other remedies.

TUAL PROPERTY, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CON SEQUENTIAL,
PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS CONTRACT. THE TERM “CONSEQ UENTIAL
DAMAGES” SHALL INCLUDE, BUT NOT BE LIMITED TO, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF REVENUE AND COST OF CAPITAL. NEITHER
PARTY MAY BRING ANY ACTION, REGARDLESS OF FORM, ARISING OUT OF TRANSACTIONS UNDER THE CONTRACT, MORE THAN TWO (2) YEARS AFTER THE
CAUSE OF ACTION HAS ACCRUED. EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH DUE TO BRASCO’S MISCONDUCT, the parties agree that the tota l damages that can be
awarded in any claim by PURCHASER relating to BRASCO’s obligations under this CONTRACT (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OT HERWISE), shall not exceed
the combined total of amounts paid by PURCHASER to BRASCO under the CONTRACT. THE PARTIES EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE ABOVE LIM ITATIONS ON LIABILITY
PROVISIONS SHALL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN IF IT IS FOUND THAT PURCHASER’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.
Cancellation. A. Purchaser may cancel an order for “Convenience” via written notice to Brasco within 5 business days from the date of receipt by Brasco of the Purchaser’s
signature on the Quote or receipt by Brasco of the Purchaser’s signature on the Acknowledgment and no cancellation fee shall be due Brasco. Cancellations of orders for reasons
other than for Convenience as referred to above must be in writing and agreed to in advance by Brasco. Such cancellations ar e subject to a cancelation charge equal to the great-
er of the actual costs incurred by Brasco during the performance period or a 50% cancellation fee.
Shipping and Delivery. Brasco shall not be liable for delays or failure in performance when caused by circumstances beyond Brasco’s reasonable control. If Purchaser does not
provide shipping and routing instructions, Brasco shall be the sole judge of the best method of routing shipment. All sales o f Products are F.O.B. Brasco’s plant. Risk of loss of the
Products shall transfer to Purchaser upon delivery of the Products to the common carrier.
Modifications and Delays. Brasco reserves the right to modify or change portions of this Contract should any assumptions specified be determined to be incorrect, or if new/
additional information relative to this Contract become available. After 90 days, any delays outside of Brasco’s control will result in price escalation using the Producer’s Price
Index, as published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics: Fabricated Structural Metal Products (Series Code WPU107).
Termination by Brasco. In addition to any other rights to terminate the Contract or suspend performance under the Contract,(A) Brasco may, upon written notice to Purchaser
immediately terminate all or any part of the Contract or suspend performance under the Contract, without any liability to the Purchaser and without waiving its right to damages, (a)
if Purchaser (i) repudiates, breaches, or threatens to breach any of the terms of the Contract, (ii) fails to accept or threatens not to accept Products in accordance with the Contract,
(iii) fails to make timely payment, or (b) upon the occurrence or threat of insolvency or bankruptcy of Purchaser; (B) Purchaser shall purchase and pay Brasco immediately for all
unique raw materials, work in process and finished goods under the Contract; (C) Purchaser shall reimburse Brasco for all preparation and other expenses incurred by Brasco and/
or its subcontractors in connection with the Contract ad for all other losses and costs arising from the termination.
Lead Times. Lead time is the window of time necessary to complete an order, after the approvals process is complete. The approvals proce ss includes satisfying Brasco’s credit
terms and written approval of Brasco’s preliminary engineering drawings. Once all approvals are complete, the lead time begins, wherein detailed engineering paperwork is com-
pleted, stamped calculations are ordered, material is purchased, and the order is fabricated. For orders that endure a lengthy approvals process, lead times may shift between the
time the order was placed and approved. Additionally, third party lead times and availability can directly impact Brasco’s l ead times, therefore Brasco shall not be liable for any
damages (actual or liquidated) caused by acts outside of its control that arise from third party suppliers.
Change Orders. Design, material, finish and quantity changes by the Purchaser to an order after preliminary engineering approval drawings are provided by Brasco are subject to

Purchaser by Brasco including, but not limited to, Preliminary Elevation Drawings and Detailed Engineering Drawings. Failure by the Purchaser to timely execute and return to
Brasco an approval of drawings provided by Brasco negatively effects lead time of the order and if same occurs, Brasco in its sole discretion shall have the unilateral right to in-
crease the lead time to complete and deliver the order to the Purchaser or terminate the Contract.
Rejections and Returns. Purchaser will be deemed to have inspected and accepted all delivered Products unless written notice of rejection specifying the basis therefore in
reasonable detail, is provided to Brasco within 10 days after delivery. Purchaser may not return Products that are not timely rejected without Brasco’s prior written approval.
Taxes. A 6% Sales tax will be billed to Michigan businesses, entities and municipalities as applicable under Michigan State law. If yo ur business is tax exempt, please provide a
Sales Tax-Exempt Certificate. Sales tax will not be billed to businesses, entities and municipalities outside the jurisdiction of the State of Michigan and is the sole responsibility of
said entity to pay within its respective jurisdiction where applicable.
Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue. The Contract shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Michigan without reference to the
choice of law principles thereof. Each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction of the Courts of the State of Michigan a nd the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of Michigan and hereby waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes illegal, void or invalid, that shall not affect the legality and validity of the other provisions.

Dane,
I have attached the cut sheet for the Brasco shelters that we use. These are the only pre-fabricated shelter that we
have installed for 10 plus years. These are also being incorporated into our formal A/E guide for campus standards.
Due the limited resources that we have and the maintenance agreement for City installed shelters it is vital that
the shelters are uniform throughout the system.

ORT does not state a standard, however, to maintain consistence in our shelter looks, parts replacement and
familiarity for installation, we continue to procure Brasco shelters. The model ORT procures is the Slimline Series
Aluminum Structure that is 5x10, full rear and sidewalls painted ivy green with the standing seam aluminum hip

Joel, Adam,
Can you please provide any substanƟaƟng documents such as standard from bus stops that say Brasco
materials are the standard for Razorback and ORT?
If you don’t have an exisƟng document just a leƩer or an email saying that your agencies use Brasco shelters
for uniformity and standardizaƟon for maintenance and repair purposes may be enough.
I hate to rush you but this will need to be submiƩed by tomorrow in order to make the next council meeƟng.

Subject: Brasco Int'l
Dane and Sara,
We’re trying to get ahead on upcoming agenda items and I’m working on the resolution for the Brasco
Int’l transit stop improvements. The memo says: StaƯ has requested to waive competitive bidding for this
purchase as both transit agencies require Brasco International per their standards for all shelters and
seating. Ozark Regional and Razorback Transit are responsible for maintenance of all bus shelters and
benches once installed.
Where does this information come from? In order to waive competitive bidding we have to establish that
it’s not feasible or practical to bid and I need some kind of backup for a statement like this.
Thanks,
