<br />Dear Ms Wolfe:
<br />
<br />Bids were received and opened for the above-referenced project on June 29, 2005. Bids were received
<br />from six (6) contractors. The tabulated bid outcome is as follows:
<br />
<br />Contractor Bid Amount
<br />I Amt Construction Company, Inc. $1,375,247.66
<br />2. Park Construction Company $1,431,876.33
<br />3. T.A. Schifsky and Sons, Inc. $1,456,090.49
<br />4. C.S. McCrossan $1,558,499.22
<br />5. Forest Lake Contracting, Inc. $1,583,119.40*
<br />6. Midwest Asphalt $1,606.213.13*
<br />Engineer's Estimate $1,345,000.00
<br />* These bid amounts reflect the COlTected bid amounts upon review and tabulation.
<br />
<br />.
<br />
<br />All bids included proper bid guarantees in the amount of ten percent (10%) of the total bid as required by
<br />the Project Manual. A bid tabulation was performed to verify the total bid amounts during which the bids
<br />for Forest Lake Contracting and Midwest Asphalt were corrected to the amounts listed above. The
<br />corrections did not affect the low bidder. A copy of the bid tabulation is attached for your information.
<br />Arnt Construction Company, Inc. submitted the low bid with a total bid amount of $1,375,247.66.
<br />
<br />The low bid is approximately $35,000 (2.6%) greater than the Engineer's Estimate. Upon further review of
<br />the bids, the overage relative to the engineer's estimate is predominantly contained within the watermain
<br />work items. Watermain work is approximately $65,000 greater than the engineer's estimate, storm sewer
<br />work is approximately $10,000 greater than estimate while roadway work is approximately $40,000 under
<br />estimate. Based upon discussions with the contractor the higher watermain costs reflect the contract
<br />requirement for after-hour work (to avoid business impacts) as well as generally higher steel prices. The
<br />higher storm sewer costs are associated with the installation of 42" - 48" sewer pipe which was
<br />underestimated by approximately 20%. The following is a synopsis of the financial implications of
<br />awarding the project as bid:
<br />
<br /> Difference!
<br />Work Category CIP Budget - (Low Bid + Engineering) = Budget Amend.
<br />Roadway Funds $1,100,000 - (910,000 + 172,900) = $17,100
<br />Watermain $ 100,000 - (150,000 + 28,500) = $(78,500)
<br />Storm Sewer $ 375,000 - (314,000 + 59,600) = $ 1,400 .
<br />Sanitary Sewer $ 25,000 - ( 0 +0) = $ 25.000
<br />Net Difference $1,600,000 $1,635,000 $(35,000)
