The bids from Lametti and Sons, Inc., Infrastructure Technologies, Inc., and Visu-Scwer 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. The Base Bid amount included televising of approximately 50,000 linear fcct of sanitary sewer within the City and the installation of 2,300 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 1 may be less than the actual bid. Soil borings have been taken and it was expected tlmt minimal shoring would be required. Mr. Brown stated that the bid amount for the lining was very reasonable. He had estimate $50 per foot, wherc the bid reflected a per foot cost in the low thirty 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 1, and authorizing exccution of a contract in the matter of the 1999/2000 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Program. . Mayor Probst confirmed that the fllilds 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. In the early nineties, the utility 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 witll this project.
