SUBJECT: Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail Connections Bid Award
Back�round/Discussion
In March and April of 2009, staff combined the Perry Park Pathway and the County Road
E-2 Pathway (Safe Routes to School) projects into the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail
Connections Proj ect. An application was submitted for Transportation Enhancements
(TE) Funding under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (A�). The City
was successful in receiving funding for this proj ect.
Plans were prepared and submitted to Mn/DOT Metro State Aid in November, 2009, for
review and approvals. Following their review, Mn/DOT recommended the proj ect for
approval to the Transportation Board. Staff was notified in late December 2009, that all
approvals were in place and the proj ect could be advertised for bid. Bids were solicited
during the month of January 2010. The bids were opened on Thursday, January 28,
2010. Based on the bids received, staff recommends awarding the project.
Based on past practice, the City Council has awarded construction contracts to the lowest
resp�onsible bidder. In the case of the Elmer L. Andersen Memorial Trail Connections
Proj ect, the lowest bidder is American Liberty Construction, Inc., of Rockford,
Minnesota.
Financial Implications
The City received i'ifteen (15) bids for this proj ect. The low bid submitted by American
Liberty Construction, Inc., $458,800, is 11 % lower than the construction estimate of
$514,346 provided at the June 2009 City Council worksession. The following is a list of
the bids received:
