<br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 8, 2001 <br /> <br />13 ' <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked ifthe City should consider rebidding this. Mr. Brown stated the base bid <br />amount was competitive and rebidding it probably would not change the figures much. Mr. <br />Brown stated he felt comfortable with the base bid because it was competitive looking at the <br />market and it was good winter work. Also, if it was rebid, they run into the difficulty of spring <br />time and the possibility of having the bids come in higher. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst asked if the City could absorb the additional costs. Mr. Post responded the City <br />had the funds for the additional costs. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked what was the policy regarding the Jay Brothers bid. He asked if <br />Jay Brothers had made the mistake. He stated it made sense if Jay Brothers had failed to get the <br />bid in time to the City, but inquired ifthere was any possibility the City could still look at that <br />bid. Mr. Post replied he had not had any contact with Jay Brothers regarding their bid, but in <br />fairness to the other bidders, it was the responsibility of the contractor to see that the bid was <br />received by the City Engineer at the designated bid opening location on time. <br /> <br />Councilmember Larson asked if the City knew what the circumstances were surrounding the bid <br />being received late. Mr. Post replied he did not know. <br /> <br />Mr. Stafford stated the bid was brought in to the City Hall at 10: 15 a.m., which was not the sated <br />location for bids to be accepted. The bid opening was at the BRW offices not at City Hall. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated this was the procedure, and ifthey would have opened the bid, the City <br />could open itself up to a bid protest. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked clarification regarding the $117,000.00 for sanitary sewer and sewer <br />line testing and sealing and trenchless spot repair of the sanitary sewer mains flowing into lift <br />station #8. He asked how extensive that was. Mr. Brown explained the layout of the lift station <br />and stated they were testing and sealing the trunk line that heads north along Highway 51 toward <br />County Road E and the industrial area. He explained they expect a lot of infiltration in this area. <br />He stated the repairs can be accomplished from above ground would not disturb anything. He <br />stated the trenchless technology, which previously was very expensive, is getting more <br />reasonable in cost. <br /> <br />Councilmember Grant asked if the repair would extend the life of the line. Mr. Brown replied <br />that was correct. The initial benefit should be savings in treating infiltration. Some of the costs, <br />approximately $6,000.00 would be reimbursed from the Metropolitan Council. <br /> <br />Mayor Probst stated the total cost to MCES for processing services was approximately $40 - <br />50,000.00 - $60,000.00 per quarter. Mr. Post replied that amount was per month. The annual <br />cost was approximately $475,000.00 per year. <br /> <br />Mayor Post stated this project could result in flow reduction savings of approximately 3 - 4% <br />percent per year. <br />
