Forest Lake: <br />Contracting submitted the lowest bid for Alternate B at $42.165.00 or approximately 5% over the Engineers <br />cstimate. The City Engineer recommends that the Council award Bid Alternate B with the contract. <br /> <br />Bid Alternate C gettCt'llted a wide range of prices from $4,789.80 to $19,980.00. This alternative would <br />enhance the entrance in addition to the landscape plantings howc:vl..T thc Council must decide whether the <br />added enhancement value is worth the cost. <br /> <br />lfthe Council awards Bid Alternate A with the contract, the Jow bidder is Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. If <br />the Council awards Bid Alternates B andlor C (along with Bid Alternate A), the low bidder remains Forest <br />Lake Contracting, Inc. <br /> <br />The following is a list of subcontractors and suppliers that Forest Lake Contracting has indicated will work <br />on the project: <br />Fnnct1nn <br />Bituminous Surfacing <br />Concrete Curb & Gutter <br />Signal System <br />Sodding/Seeding <br />Landscape P1antings <br /> <br />Suhc:ontTael nr/l'l'lpplier <br />Tower Asphalt <br />Landmark Concrete <br />Collins <br />Lino Lakes Landscaping <br />Minnesota Valley Landscaping <br /> <br />The proposed material suppliers and subcontractors are acceptable to the City Engineer. Both the Public <br />Works Director and City Engineer have experience working with Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. on other <br />similar projects in the past and are confident that they are able to complete the project on schedule and with <br />a high degree of quality. <br /> <br />We, therefore, recommend the award of the West Round Lake Road Improvements, Phase 1 with Bid <br />Alternates A and B to Forest Lake ContractIng for the total amount of$794,7Z5.OS. Ifthc: Council elects <br />to award Bid Alternate C, !he total contract amount would be 5804,481.05. <br /> <br />The original project schedule outlined in the specificaticms was based upon a notice to proceed issued from <br />the City in lale January, 1999. Since the project award has been delayed, a new completion date will be <br />negotiated with the Contractor along with the unit prioe adjustment for Bid i\lternate A and incmporated into <br /> <br />Offices WorldsMde <br />
