Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />MACON STREET/RIVERVIEW DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS <br />CONSTRUCTION BIDS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />We have tabulated the bids received on June 26, 1997, for the Macon Street/Riverview Drive <br />improvements. There were a total of 13 bids received. The following list provides a summary of <br />the bidders and their total bids: <br /> <br />C. W. Houle, Inc. <br />Bonine Excavating, Inc. <br />Northdale Construction Company <br />R. P. Utilities, Inc. <br />S. J. Lewis Construction, Inc. <br />R. L. Larson Excavating, Inc. <br />Arcon Construction Company <br />Richard Knutson, Inc. <br />Machtemes Construction, Inc. <br />Barbarossa & Sons <br />Redstone Construction Company <br />Cadlec Service, Inc. <br />Randy Kramer Excavating, Inc. <br /> <br />$280 000.00 <br /> 281 824.75 <br /> 283153.48 <br /> 284.181.08 <br /> 289.083.75 <br /> 289.968.53 <br /> 301.040.67 <br /> 305.560.11 <br /> 307.400.15 <br /> 310 010.93 <br /> 312,332.53 <br /> 312,636.40 <br /> 321,850.88 <br /> <br />The feasibility study for this project estimated the total construction cost at $383,000. The Iow bid <br />submitted by C. W. House, Inc., is approximately 27% below this estimate. There are two reasons <br />for the exceptional bid that was received. The first is the very competitive nature of the bidding <br />process. Usually at this time of the construction season, it is unheard of to have 13 bidders on a <br />project of this size. The second reason for the much lower bid is during the design process, we <br />were able to raise the sanitary sewer substantially from the estimated depth in the feasibility study. <br /> <br />According to the project schedule contained within the feasibility study, the next step in the project <br />is to hold the assessment hearing. Attached for the City Council's consideration is a resolution that <br />determines the amount to be assessed and orders the preparation of the assessment roll. The <br />project schedule shown at the public hearing had predicted the assessment hearing to be held on <br /> <br />1326 Energy Park Drive · St. Paul, MN 55108 ° 612/644-4389 fax 612/644-9446 toll free 800/888-2923 <br /> <br /> <br />
