<br /> - <br /> I <br /> I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS <br /> ,. MEMORANDUM <br /> DATE: September 4, 1997 <br /> I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator <br /> Cindy S. Walsh, Parks and Recreation Director {'::;vJ <br /> I FROM: <br /> SUBJECT: A warding of bid for Cummings Park Wash-out Repair <br /> I Backlllround <br /> At the August 11 City Council meeting, the City Council authorized the solicitation of bids for <br /> I the repair of the wash-out that occurred at Cummings Park. The engineer's estimate was <br /> originally $42,000-$50,000. Engineer Stonehouse believed that to be a conservative estimate. <br /> The bids were anticipated to be in the $40,000 range. <br /> I Bid Results <br /> .- Name of Company Bid Amount <br /> I - Rehbein Construction $30,905 <br /> Jay Brothers . $34;395 <br /> CCS Contracting $40,880 <br /> Ie Sunram Construction $44,525 <br /> Engineer's Estimate $40,000-$50,000 <br /> The apparent low bidder is Rehbein Constructionat $30,905. They are able to begin the project <br /> I September 11. I have set a project completion date of October 15, 1997. Rehbein Construction <br /> does not anticipate any problems completing the project by that date. <br /> I Funding <br /> I have applied for reimbursement funds for this project through the Federal Emergency <br /> I Management Agency Program (FEMA). Since Ramsey County was declared one of the areas to <br /> receive disaster relief funds from the Federal Government, this project should be eligible to <br /> receive funding. At this time, I believe that 75% of the eligible costs for repairing the wash-out <br /> I will be reimbursed. I will be attending a meeting on Friday, September 5, to learn more about <br /> the program. I anticipate having an update on what costs are eligible for reimbursement at the <br /> City Council meeting. <br /> I Based on previous discussions from the Council work session about the funding of this project, I <br /> am assuming that the remaining 25% of the project cost and possibly other non-eligible costs <br /> I would come from General Fund Park Maintenance fund as an unbudgeted expense. <br /> Recommendation <br /> I I recommend accepting the bid and executing the contract with Rehbein Construction for the <br /> Cummings Park Wash-Out Repair Project. I also recommend applying for any eligible funds <br /> .. from FEMA for disaster relief repair of public property. <br /> I <br /> . <br /> _. - - -..-- -------- <br />
