HEAD APPROVAL. <br />Bids to remodel the Old City Hall were considered by the City Council on October 11, <br />9 <br />,Wtose bids were as follows: <br />Roger Sheehy <br />$291r000 <br />T. J. Mel'Lsmger <br />298,500 <br />James Steele <br />305,500 <br />Stratton & Neilsen <br />307F614 <br />G, G, Kranz <br />312,500 <br />Berglund Cons traction <br />313,700 <br />Adolphson & Peterson <br />316r7OO <br />Shaw-Lundquist <br />324,490 <br />Consideration of these bids were continued until such tine as the staff could <br />ovaluate the bids other alternatives, The low bid had exceeded the architect-Is <br />dstimate by approximtely $40,000. <br />The architect and staff have reviewed the bids and are recmrendl I ng the low bid o <br />Sheehy Construction be awarded for the following reasons: <br />1. The e3`-ght bids received were extremely close considering <br />the project is a �remodeling type. TUs would indicate <br />that the specifications were relatively clear and well <br />deflLned, The eight bidders are considered to be respectable <br />and quality contractors. <br />the project were rebid it is likely that a nunber of <br />these contractors would not re---bid,. and the chances of <br />0 <br />getting less quaed bidders may -increase, <br />3. If the project is rebid it can be assumed the bids will <br />reflect a higher price based on the normal escalation of <br />6 - 8% and the new wage scales which will take effect in <br />May, 1978. Therefore, if the project was rebid and $25,00 <br />610 <br />worth of items were removedr the City could end 1 up with th <br />cost, <br />4. The proj ect is a sinple functional type with no frills or <br />non-essential elements. It does not appear feasible to <br />remove $40,,000 fran the design, and provide an acceptable <br />or adequate facility. <br />5,, The Architect has estirrated it would cost $400,000 - $425rOOt <br />to construct an entirely new fire facility at the present <br />location. This is based on recent fire station construction <br />bids of $42 per square foot. Therefore, the cost of a new <br />facility could be $100,000 - $125,000 mre than a-remcdeling <br />project. <br />I <br />
