COMMENTS OF TOM SULLIVAN
DECEMBER 9, 2021
I have some comments on agenda items for today’s meeting.
There are many no-bid engineering and consulting contracts worth many millions of dollars on the agenda and it
isn't always clear what the purpose of the contracts is or how the funds are to be spent.
► Item No. 21, $2,500,000 to Ace Pipe Cleaning, Inc. for sewer inspections. MSD officials said years ago the
District was going to buy the equipment needed to do the inspections so it would not have to hire outside
contractors. The Post-Dispatch even did a story about it. It seems odd that a sewer district is unable or unwilling
to inspect its own sewers and has spent tens of millions of dollars with outside firms to do so.
► Item No. 22, $2,800,000 to Shannon & Wilson, Inc. for construction management services for the Lower and
Middle RDP Tunnel Facilities. This is something the District should be able to handle but it spends millions of
dollars with outside firms for these services. This would be a no-bid contract.
► Item No. 23, $2,000,000 to Black & Veatch Corporation, long-time MSD buddies, for construction
management services for the Lower Meramec and Deer Creek Tunnels projects. This would be a no-bid contract.
► Item No. 24, $7,000,000 to KAI 360 Construction Services LLC for construction management services.
That’s a lot of money when it isn’t known how many people will be working to provide the services, what the
hourly rates would be or how the $7 million figure was arrived at. It's another no-bid contract. Merry Christmas,
KAI, from your good buddies at MSD.
► Item No. 25, $475,000 to Donohue & Associates for general engineering services for unspecified projects. It
isn't clear why this is being appropriated, how the amount was arrived at or why the District is unable to do the
work with its large engineering department.
► Item No. 26, $85,000 to Reitz & Jens for general geotechnical services for unknown projects. It isn't clear how
this amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid contract.
► Item No. 27, $85,000 to Geotechnology for general geotechnical services for unknown projects. It isn't clear
how this amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid contract.
► Item No. 28, $85,000 to Geosyntec for general geotechnical services for unknown projects. It isn't clear how this
amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid contract.
► Item No. 29, $50,000 to Civil Design, Inc. for general surveying services for unknown projects. It isn't clear
how this amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid contract.
► Item No. 30, $50,000 to Abna Engineering, Inc. for general surveying services for unknown projects. It isn't
clear how this amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid contract.
► Item No. 31, $50,000 to Sabur, Inc. for general surveying services for unknown projects. It isn't clear how this
amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid project.
► Item No. 32, $50,000 to The Sterling Company for general surveying services for unknown projects. It isn't
clear how this amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid project.
► Item No. 33, $50,000 to Heidman & Associates for general surveying services for unknown projects. It isn't
clear how this amount was arrived at. This would be a no-bid project.
Rev / Edited 1/5/22 Pg. 4
► Item No. 34, authorizes the Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer to enter into a contract with
Independent Public Advisors. The amount of the contract is not listed on the agenda as the state Sunshine Law
requires.
► Item No 35, authorizes the Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer to enter into a contract with PFM
Financial Advisors LLC. The amount of the contract is not listed on the agenda as the state Sunshine Law
requires.
► Item No 36, authorizes the Executive Director and Secretary-Treasurer to enter into a contract
with ClintLarsonAllen, LLC. The amount of the contract is not listed on the agenda as the state Sunshine Law
requires.
I would suggest to board members that you understand these appropriations before voting on them. Some day you
might have to answer for your vote.
