Alternate 1.0 provided the option for Contractor's to utilize HDPE (high density <br />polyethylene pipe) storm sewer material in lieu of concrete. It was anticipated that this <br />might result in a cost savings, however in Valley Paving, Inc.'s bid there is an increase to <br />the base bid of $15,045.57. Based on this increase, we are not recommending including <br />Alternate 1.0 in the award. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE, Blaine, MN 55449—Ph: (763)780-0450—Fax:(763)780-0452
