Ms. Michelle Wolfe <br />September 23, 2003 <br />Page 2 <br />Council Options <br />• Award the Contract to Jay Bros., Inc. for $232,772.50. <br />+ Reject and rebid the project in the spring. <br />- The Council may decide to rebid the project however it is uncertain whether this would result in a lower bid. <br />+ Drop Lift Station #7 from the Contract while keeping Karth Lake Pumping Station. <br />- We discussed with the Contractor the option of awarding the Contract for $232,772.50 contingent on <br />producing a change order reducing the Contract Amount to $98,699.50 and he agreed. <br />Recommendations <br />Based on review of the bids and subsequent discussion with the Contractor, we feel that the bids represent <br />reasonable costs for the work and a rebid would not likely decrease costs. Awarding the Contract at this time and <br />allowing the work to proceed in the off season would minimize the disruption to Cummings Park and Presbyterian <br />Homes. The City Engineer, therefore, recommends the award of the Lift Station #7 Rehabilitation/ Karth Lake <br />Pumping Station to Jay Bros., Inc. for the total amount of $232,772.50. The project schedule outlined below is <br />based upon award by the City Council on September 29, 2003. <br />Notice to Proceed October 6, 2003 <br />Begin Construction October 13, 2003 <br />Complete Construction May 21, 2004 <br />Please call me at (612) 373-6479 if you have any questions or need additional information. <br />Sincerely, <br />URS <br />144� <br />own.
