Comments by the Chair:
I would like to remind everyone about the rules for the public comment period.
We ask that members of the public who wish to make comments please keep their remarks to 5 minutes. Also, if a group has come to speak on the same topic, we ask that they select a
spokesperson for the group. If a member of the public has questions for MSD, we asked that they be presented in writing so
that MSD can research and respond to the request. Thank you.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
There were fourteen (14) Comments from the Public:
Michael Montgomery, BreAnn Johnson, Edison Williams, Terrence Walker:
The four Luther Supply employees addressed the Board and explained their previous work history and their employment with Luther Supply and expressed support of the Deer Creek Tunneling project performed with SAK.
Jack Boatman, SAK Senior Vice President:
Addressed the Board and provided a few statistics on their workforce. Mr. Boatman indicated
that 29% of SAK employees working on MSD projects are minorities with 33% hours worked. Mr. Boatman stated that the numbers are higher for the hours than the number of bodies on the project. Mr. Boatman then explained that SAK currently has 5.5% female workforce, but females
have worked 9.95% of hours; double the number of women on the project. Mr. Boatman explained that If you look around the country, SAK also works in Baltimore, Maryland and the
numbers there are also impressive.
Mr. Boatman stated that In Mobile, Alabama, the crew is well diverse and the foreman is a
female. If you look at Nashville, Tennessee and Shreveport, the workforce is well diverse. I
always look for ways to include minority women in the workforce as well as business partners. On the Deer Creek project, we had 19% of the workforce slated for minority. Mr. Boatman stated
he does not just worry about the percentage of people working, but he worries about the
percentage of dollars going back into the community.
Kendall Davidson:
Mr. Davidson addressed the Board about his concerns regarding NAICS Codes. He explained that the federal government provided him with the guidance of how his company bids on projects. Mr. Davidson is concerned that companies do not consider NAICS codes to be strong
guidance for their businesses.
Mr. Davidson stated that he believes this will create a pattern where unqualified companies are obtaining jobs and the prime contractor is performing most of the work and not the
subcontractors, creating an atmosphere of front companies.
John DiPonio, Vice President of JayDee Contractors:
Mr. DiPonio addressed the Board on behalf of Jay Dee Frontier Kemper Joint Venture as the
lowest responsive, responsible bidder. Mr. DiPonio asked that the Board strongly consider voting Yes on the Deer Creek Tunnel project. He explained that since September 1, 2016, JDFK has
Edited 5/3/17 Pg. 5
done everything MSD has asked during the procurement process and provided all the requested
information in order for MSD’s professional staff to determine that JDFK is well qualified.
Mr. DiPonio explained that the JDFK combines two most well respected, heavy underground civil
contractors in North America and combined, they have over 96 years of tunnel experience. Mr. DiPonio indicated that JDFK has teamed up with 100% local, St Louis based, African American
MBE subcontractors; most of whom JDFK met through the MSD sponsored Diversity Opportunity
Fair held in June 2016.
Mr. DiPonio shared that JDFK and their subcontractors have anxiously awaited the award of this
project for eight months. We hope the Board follows recommendation of their staff and follow its procurement and procedures, because we believe this is the only way to ensure MSD will get
competitive bids from qualified contractors for the rest of Project clear and all future MSD
projects.
Lionel Phillips, President of Phillips Concrete Services - Signatory to Teamsters Local 682.
Mr. Phillips addressed the Board regarding the Deer Creek project and in support of JDFK. Mr. Phillips explained that the bid includes twenty-three(23) million dollars’ worth of work for local
minority owned, qualified and certified businesses whose employees and families are all MSD rate payers. Mr. Phillips expressed that this opportunity could ensure long-term sustainability for all of the companies and boost the local economy.
Mr. Philips explained that JDFK and their team of local certified and qualified minority businesses entered into the process respecting the spirit and intent of the MSD guidelines when they
submitted their quote. Mr. Phillips asked the Board to respect and support the clear recommendations of the MSD Executive Director and staff and finally award this project to the lowest bidder, JDFK.
Mr. Phillips expressed that with the experience gained from the Deer Creek project, the
companies will be better equipped and prepared for the wave of tunneling projects that MSD has
in the future and hopes the result of the vote tonight is consistent with MSD’s published policies and procedures and reflects the districts mission to assist in the development of local minority
owned businesses. Abe Adewale, Nicole Adewale, Lawrence Nwachuku and Thomas Nellums:
Addressed the Board and explained their working relationships through Basilico Engineering,
ABNA Engineering and Tee & E Trucking, Inc. by showing their support of the Deer Creek
Tunneling project through the award to JayDee Frontier Kemper.
Adolphus Pruitt, President NAACP:
Mr. Pruitt addressed the Board to share that the CBA Signatories is moving towards ending the discard and adversarial relationships with MSD. Mr. Pruitt also shared that the CBA Signatories allowed the federal complaint to close in order to end the conflict. Mr. Pruitt also believes the
discard regarding the Deer Creek contract should be brought to an end.
Mr. Pruitt expressed his conflict with staff in the past and that the CBA Signatories have reviewed
the contract and still believe that the first decision made by MSD staff, was the right decision. Mr. Pruitt shared that the CBA Signatories do not agree with the decision related to A.L.L., but
are working to restore A.L.L.
Yaphett El-Amin, Executive Director of MOKAN:
Ms. El-Amin spoke on the conflicts that were raised in relation to the Deer Creek project and
local and non-local minority companies. Ms. El-Amin indicated that there are still disparities of
Edited 5/3/17 Pg. 6
21% African American companies and 1.6% Hispanic companies in the City of St. Louis, which
shows our utilization still has not matched our availability. Ms. El-Amin expressed that MOKAN’s position remains and they will continue to support the Districts position and choice of awarding
JDFK the Deer Creek Tunneling contract.
