<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 8, 2001 <br /> <br />12 <br /> <br />varied greatly because this work could become labor intensive. Although this work should be <br />completed fairly soon, it was not required to be completed with the lift station reconstruction. <br />Bid Alternative #1 was included with this project in order to solicit construction costs and <br />accomplish the work if budget allowed. The bid prices were higher than expected for this work <br />and it was not a necessary component in the reconstruction of lift station #8. Therefore, the <br />Engineer recommended that Bid Alternative #1 not be included in this project and be completed <br />separate from this contract at a later date either by a separate contract or with City forces, under a <br />pavement management program, or with the following year's sanitary sewer program. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown explained Bid Alternative #2 included about 22,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer <br />cleaning and televising. The average price of the three bids was approximately 17% higher than <br />the Engineer's estimate and budget of $25,000.00. The Engineer's estimate was based on bid <br />prices of previous sanitary cleaning and televising projects. The work associated with Bid <br />Alternative #2 was not necessary for the reconstruction of lift station #8. Because the bid prices <br />for Bid Alternative #2 were higher than expected and were not necessary to the reconstruction of <br />lift station #8, the Engineer recommendation that Bid Alterative #2 not be included with this <br />project and be bid as a separate project at a later date. <br /> <br />Mr. Brown stated although he did not have any direct experience with Gridor Construction, Inc., <br />the contractor had supplied him with a resume and an extensive list of references for projects of <br />this nature. The Engineer had checked the references and was confident that Gridor Construction <br />was capable of successfully completing this project. The City Engineer recommended the award <br />of the Base Bid for the 2001 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project to Gridor Construction, Inc. <br />for the total base bid amount of $302,484.00. Both Bid Alternative from all Contractors were <br />higher than estimate based on previous cost of projects with the same elements. Therefore, the <br />City Engineer recommended not awarding Bid Alternative #1 or Bid Alternative #2. <br /> <br />Councilmember Aplikowski asked where was the closest location Gridor Construction had done <br />work. Mr. Brown replied Gridor Construction had done work all over the Twin Cities, as well as <br />work for the Metropolitan Council. He stated all of the people he had spoken with had nothing <br />but good things to say about their work. In addition, because this is all Gridor Construction does, <br />it gave him a high level of confidence. <br /> <br />Mr. Stafford stated he had a list of projects Gridor Construction had completed since 1992, and <br />they were all over the upper Midwest, including work done for the Metropolitan Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked if Bid Alternative #1 allowed them to do other things, as allowed by staff. <br />Mr. Brown replied that was correct. In Bid Alternative #1 it might come in cheaper than <br />estimated, but it turned out the rehab work came in higher in the base bid and therefore, there <br />was not enough left for the bid alternatives. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked if the work in the Ingerson area would still be done. Mr. Brown stated this <br />could be bid next year, which would allow it to be done properly. It was not critical this project <br />be done this year, and it did not need to be done right away. <br />
