Jay Bros" Inc, $ 69,593,00 <br /> 2. CCS Contracting $ 76,839,00 $ 76,589.00 <br /> 3, Great Western Corporation $ 85,226.50 <br /> 4, Lametti & Sons, Inc, $ 86,700,00 <br /> 5, Ford Construction Company, Inc. $ 99,134.00 <br />. 6. GHT Construction, Inc, $ 137,800,00 <br /> 7, Richard Knutson, Inc. $ 174,135,76 $ 174,138.76 <br /> Engineer's Estimate $ 61,600.00 <br /> All bids had proper bid guarantees in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the total bid as required by the <br /> Project Manual. A bid tabulation was performed to verify the total bid amounts and two bids contained <br /> minor errors which have been corrected as shown above. A copy of the bid tabulation is attached for your <br /> information. <br /> The low bid amount is approximately $8,000.00 or 13% above the Engineer's Estimate. We have reviewed <br /> the contractor's bid to determine where the discrepancies occurred, Jay Bros. unit price for the lift station <br /> pumping equipment was $15,000 greater than the engineer's estimate while the electrical system unit price <br /> was $6,500.00 less than our estimate. Most other items were very close to the engineer's estimate, After <br /> review of all of the bids it is the City Engineer's opinion that the low bid represents a fair price for the <br /> proposed work The City Council could consider rejecting all bids and reletting the project at a later date <br /> however, it is the City Engineer's opinion that at best a minor reduction in bid prices is possible and prices <br /> may even increase with another letting, The work is well suited to winter conditions and therefor letting the <br /> project in the fall should reflect a competitive bidding environment <br /> The following is a list of subcontractors and suppliers that Jay Bros" Inc, has indicated will work on the <br /> project: <br /> Fllnction SII hcontractor/Sllppller <br /> Pump Equipment ABS Pumps - Northern Water Works & Supply <br />.
