<br /> 9. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
<br /> A. Round Lake Road Bids
<br /> • Resolution 2014-023 Cost to Be Assessed
<br /> • Resolution 2014-024 Setting Date for Assessment Hearing
<br /> Assistant City Engineer Anderson reported that as per Council direction, bids were opened on
<br /> Thursday, April 17, 2014, for the Round Lake Road, Gateway Boulevard and Gateway Court
<br /> improvement. There were a total of eight bids received. The following list provides the bidder's
<br /> name and their total bid.
<br /> Meyer Contracting, Inc. $1,766,605.41
<br /> Valley Paving, Inc. $1,826,883.05
<br /> Northwest Asphalt $1,881,398.19
<br /> Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. $1,882,203.00
<br /> North Valley Inc. $1,929,408.71
<br /> Carl Bolander& Sons, Co. $1,931,081.20
<br /> T.A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. $2,045,093.60
<br /> ASTECH, Corp. $2,073,963.39
<br /> Assistant City Engineer Anderson indicated that the total project cost is $2,485,247.71, which
<br /> includes the low bid from Meyer Contracting, Inc., plus overhead according to the City's
<br /> Assessment Policy and the cost of street lighting to be installed by Xcel Energy. The 2014 Capital
<br /> Improvement Plan (CIP) estimated the total project cost at $2,627,650.00; however that estimate
<br /> included $500,000.00 for sanitary sewer in Round Lake Road anticipating the elimination of lift
<br /> station #11 which was subsequently determined to not be cost effective. The CIP estimate did not
<br /> include the mill and overlay of either Gateway Boulevard or Gateway Court which are both
<br /> included in the total bid. Also, included in this bid is the replacement of the MnDOT fencing
<br /> (2,600 linear feet) on the interstate side of Round Lake Road and the directional boring of the
<br /> replacement water main in order to minimize disruption to the businesses. Finally, the total project
<br /> cost includes Xcel Energy installed lighting on Round Lake Road and Gateway Boulevard.
<br /> Assistant City Engineer Anderson stated that an analysis of the low bid received relative to the
<br /> assessment scenario laid out in the Feasibility Report yields an assessment rate of $191.25 per
<br /> front foot;just slightly less than the $193.00 estimated in the Feasibility Report. This rate is based
<br /> on the City's Assessment Policy of assessing 70% of the cost for commercial/industrial street
<br /> reconstruction projects.
<br /> Assistant City Engineer Anderson commented that in order to move the project forward, it
<br /> would be appropriate for the Council to consider adopting two resolutions. The first, Resolution
<br /> 2014-023, Declaring the Cost to be Assessed and Ordering the Preparation of the Assessment
<br /> Roll; and the second, is Resolution 2014-024, Setting the Date for the Assessment Hearing as
<br /> May 12, 2014.
