The initial bids were significantly higher than the engineer’s estimate. After scoring the 23 proposals and identifying an apparent best value contractor, the consultant and staff met with 24 Minger Construction to discuss potential cost saving changes that would bring the project within 25 budget without changing the project scope. Together we were able to identify several changes to 26 the project materials and construction methods that reduced the overall project cost by over 27 $50,000. These included constructing a concrete structure vs. the fiberglass structure that was 28 originally proposed and keeping the existing lift station on-line during construction to eliminate 29 costly bypass pumping. We also found that the quantity for bituminous paving was over 30 estimated, resulting in cost savings. 31 Staff is recommending awarding a contract to Minger Construction based on the agreed upon 32 revisions to the proposal resulting in a contract price of $212,290.75. 33 PO OLICYBJECTIVE 34 Staff plans and recommends the timely replacement of infrastructure to provide continuous 35 uninterrupted sanitary sewer service to all properties in Roseville. Staff seeks to find the most 36 cost effective purchasing opportunities to meet budgetary and operational objectives. 37 FI INANCIALMPLICATIONS 38 This project was included in the 2012 capital improvement plan. The original estimated cost for 39 this project was $200,000. At this time based on the bids received, the cost of this project, 40 including construction and engineering, is $235,000. 41 47% of the project costs will be billed to Pulte Homes per the Josephine Woods Public 42 Improvement Contract. Based on the contract cost, the Developer’s cost share is $110,450. The 43 full amount of the Developer’s cost share shall be due to the City when the contract for the lift 44 station reconstruction work is awarded. 45 The city’s share of the cost for this improvement, $124,550, will be funded by the Sanitary 46 Sewer Utility fund. 47 While the initial bids were significantly higher than the engineer’s estimate and the project 48 budget, the value engineered proposed contract is recommended for approval. 49 S TAFF RECOMMENDATION 50 Staff recommends award of a contract to Minger Construction Inc. of Chanhassen, Minnesota. in 51 the amount of $212,290.75 for reconstruction of the Josephine Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. 52 RCA EQUESTEDOUNCILCTION 53 Motion awarding a contract to Minger Construction Inc. of Chanhassen, Minnesota in the 54 amount of $212,290.75 for reconstruction of the Josephine Sanitary Sewer Lift Station. 55 Prepared by: Duane Schwartz Attachments: A: Location Map Page 2 of 2
