Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />TRUNK HIGHWAY 169/197TH AVENUE SIGNALIZATION <br />CONSTRUCTION BIDS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />We have tabulated the bids that were received on Thursday, June 12, 1997, for the signalization <br />of the TH 169/197th Avenue intersection. There were a total of five bidders. The following list <br />provides the bidders and their total bids. <br /> <br />Electric Service company <br />Design Electric, Inc. <br />Electric Installation <br />Kilmore Electric <br />Collisys, Inc. <br /> <br />$157,846.30 <br /> 166,775.00 <br /> 172,107.69 <br /> 181,466.79 <br /> 185,086.75 <br /> <br />As we have discussed previously, the bid included four items. First was the signal system, second <br />an emergency vehicle preemption system, third was an interconnect between the new signal at <br />197th Avenue and the next signal to the south at Jackson/193rd Avenue, and the last thing that <br />was included in this bid were sign panels and a crosswalk. The engineer's estimate was $195,000. <br />The Iow bidder is approximately 23% under this estimate. <br /> <br />Since the bid was just received last Thursday and this is a Contractor we have not worked directly <br />with in the past, we have not had time prior to Monday evening's meeting to check references. <br />However, at the time that the City Council authorized advertisement for bids on this project, there <br />was some discussion whether or not the project should be built at this time. We would like to have <br />some direction as to whether or not the Council wishes to award this bid. If the Council does want <br />to award the bid, we would do reference checks and come back at a later meeting with a resolution <br />for the City Council's consideration. <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 />
