<br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 8, 2001 <br /> <br />11 <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City Hall, so it was assumed that not a lot of time would be invested reinventing these <br />documents. <br />Councilmember Grant stated he was excited about the website because the Internet was an <br />outstanding way to get information to the citizens and he was looking forward to doing this. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson stated this was long overdue. <br /> <br />MOTION: <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a <br />motion to accept the report of the Arden Hills Web Site Task Force and proceed <br />to phase one, and continued to utilize the Task Force and solicit additional <br />resources from the community The motion carried unanimously (5-0). <br /> <br />D. Award of Bid, 2001 Lift Station #8 Reconstruction and Sanitary Sewer <br />Rehabilitation Project <br /> <br />Gregory Brown explained bids were received from three contractors. A bid from Jay Bros., Inc. <br />was not received at the Engineer's office by the submittal deadline and therefore was returned <br />unopened. The tabulation bid was as follows: <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Contractor <br />Gridor Construction, Inc. <br />Moorhead Construction Co., Inc. <br />Lametti & Sons, Inc. <br />Jay Bros., Inc. <br /> <br />Base Bid Amount <br />$302,484.00 <br />313,521.00 <br />318,275.00 <br />Returned Unopened <br /> <br />Bid Alt. # 1 <br />$56,920.00 <br />32,722.00 <br />30,500.00 <br /> <br />Bid Alt. #2 <br />$32,310.00 <br />28,810.00 <br />27,050.00 <br /> <br />All bids had proper bid guarantees in the amount of ten percent of the total bid as required by the <br />Project Manual. Bid alternative #1 included open trench sewer spot repairs in the Ingerson Road, <br />Shoreline Lane and Lake Lane neighborhoods. Bid alternative #2 included sewer cleaning and <br />televising in the area bound by 1-694, Old Highway 10 and Chatham Avenue. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown stated Gridor Construction, Inc. submitted the low base bid with a total base bid <br />amount of $302,484.00. This included $184,700.00 for the lift station reconstruction and <br />$117,784.00 for the sanitary sewer line testing and sealing and trenchless spot repair of the <br />sanitary sewer mains flowing into lift station #8. MCES would reimburse the City for $5800.00 <br />of the $184,700.00 for the installation of a new flow-monitoring meter to this station. The <br />remaining $178,900.00 was approximately 5% greater than the Engineer's estimate of <br />$170,000.00 for this portion of the project. Considering the other two bids, the Engineer felt that <br />this bid was representative of the current market value of the improvement and the City would <br />not likely see a significant savings by rebidding the work. Therefore, although the base bid was <br />approximately 12% ($32,000.00) greater than the Engineers estimate of $270,000.00 the bids <br />submitted were all relatively close in price and represented fair market value for the <br />improvements. Therefore, the City Engineer recommended the Council award the base bid for <br />this project to Gridor Construction, Inc. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown explained Bid Alternative # 1 included various open trench spot repairs to 8" clay <br />sewer mains Bid prices received varied from $56,920.00 to $30,500.00.
