Page 2 of 2 <br />to the special provisions of the specification, all subcontractors need to be on the MnDOT 21 <br />approved list. The subcontractor that they submitted as a part of their bid is not a MNDOT 22 <br />approved subcontractor for asbestos removal as required per the project specifications. 23 <br />Also, they did not list the subcontractor that would be doing the regulated waste material 24 <br />removal. Since Urban Companies is not on the approved list, they would not qualify to self 25 <br />perform this work. 26 <br />In discussions after the bid opening, Urban Companies offered to replace their subcontractor 27 <br />with one that is on the MnDOT approved list. We have discussed this discrepancy and the offer 28 <br />to change subcontractors with the City Attorney and they have advised us that since the 29 <br />submitted bid does not meet the requirements of specifications, it should be rejected. 30 <br />Of the 9 bids received 4 of them complied with the specifications. They included MnDOT 31 <br />approved subcontractors as a part of their bid submittal. 32 <br />The specifications state that bids will be awarded to the lowest qualified, responsible and 33 <br />responsive bidder whose proposal complies with all prescribed requirements in the 34 <br />specifications. As a result, we are recommending that the contract be awarded to the second low 35 <br />bidder, Veit and Company, Inc, of Rogers, Minnesota, their bid complies with the specifications. 36 <br />F INANCIAL I MPLICATIONS 37 <br />The estimate in the agreement is $160,000. All of the costs for this project will be paid for 38 <br />through assessment by the property owner, PIK Terminal Co. Limited Partnership. 39 <br />The second low bid, $50,478, is $2,928 more than the low bid. The bids were substantially less 40 <br />than the estimate and within the anticipated project budget. 41 <br />S TAFF RECOMMENDATION 42 <br />Staff recommends award of a contract for Demolition of the buildings on the PIK Terminal Co. 43 <br />Limited Partnership property located at 2680/ 2690 Prior Avenue in the amount of $50,478.00 to 44 <br />Veit and Company, Inc, of Rogers, Minnesota. 45 <br />R EQUESTED C OUNCIL A CTION 46 <br />Motion awarding a contract for Demolition of the buildings on the PIK Terminal Co.
