Howard R, Green Company <br />CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />Formerly MSA <br />Consulting Engineers <br /> <br />May 11, 1998 <br />File: 230312j (0071) <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P. O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: BUSINESS CENTER DRIVE STREET AND UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />As you are aware, we opened bids for this project on Thursday, April 2, 1998. You have <br />previously been provided information regarding the eleven bidders and thelr total bids. Richard <br />Knutson, Inc. was the Iow bidder at $389,571.15, which was approximately 10% under the <br />feasibility estimate. The bids were not awarded immediately after opening, due to the <br />continuing land acquisition and the necessity to hold an assessment hearing. The land <br />acquisition has been concluded and the assessment hearing was recently held. <br /> <br />Therefore, at this point in time there are two actions the City Council needs to take in order to <br />move this project forward. The first is to approve the cooperative agreement with Mn/DOT <br />which spells out the funding scenarios between Mn/DOT and the City of Elk River. The second <br />issue is to consider the attached resolution which awards the project to Richard Knutson, Inc. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding these actions, I will be in attendance at your May 11, 1998 <br />City Council Meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
