ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 8, 1999 18 G. Resolution #99-41, Award Bid, 1999 Sauitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program . Mr. Brown explained that three bids were opened on October 28, 1999 for the 1999 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program. The bids from Lametti and Sons, Inc., Infrastructure Technologies, Inc., and Visu-Sewer Clean and Seal, Inc. were fairly close. Lametti and Sons, Inc. were the low bid including Bid Alternate 1. Without Bid Alternate 1, Infrastructure Technologies, Inc. was the lowest bidder. Thc Base Bid amount included televising of approximately 50,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer within the City and the installation of2,300 linear feet of pipe lining along the easement north of County Road E-2. The Bid Alternate 1 amount included work associated with repairing a segment of sanitary sewer which was improperly aligned resulting in a sag condition. Mr. Brown anticipated that the amount spent to accomplish Bid Alternate I may be less than the actual bid. Soil borings have been taken and it was expected that minimal shoring would be required. Mr. Brown stated that the bid amount for the lining was very reasonable. He had estimate $50 per foot, where the bid reflected a per foot cost in the low 30 dollar range. Mr. Brown advised that the City Engineer recommends approval of Resolution #99-41, Accepting the low bid of$251,265.00 by Lametti and Sons, Inc. for the base project, and Bid . Alternate I, and authorizing execution of a contract in the matter of the 1999/2000 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program. Mayor Probst confirmed that the funds were available for this project. Mr. Post stated that this was correct. He noted that over the last several years the City of Arden Hills has taken on a number significant Capital Improvements in the utility fund. The fund had been losing money, however, the cash balance has been built up for this sort of infrastructure improvement. It was his belief that, although it involved a significant amount of money, it would be appropriate for the City to move forward with this project. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #99-41, Accepting the low bid of$251,265.00 by Lametti and Sons, Inc. for the base project, and Bid Alternate 1, and authorizing execution of a contract in the matter of the 1999/2000 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program.
