City Council <br />Page Two <br />August 7, 2002 <br /> <br />Finally, I have discussed this issue with Peter Beck, City Attorney, and he concurs with our <br />recommendation to reject the non-responsive bids. <br /> <br />A summary of the remaining five bids is provided in the following table, and detailed bid tabulation is <br />attached: <br /> <br />S. R. Weidema, Inc. <br />Northdale Construction Company <br />W. B. Miller, Inc. <br />Park Construction Company <br />Three Rivers Construction <br /> <br />$729,435.30 <br /> 783,148.35 <br /> 808,072.08 <br /> 847,315.09 <br /> 880,609.70 <br /> <br />These bids include the road construction, lateral sanitary sewer to the Park Pointe Development and <br />an alternate for trunk watermain from Tyler Street to the Park Pointe DeVelopment. The Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities Commission has yet to discuss the potential funding of the alternate bid of the trunk <br />watermain. We have discussed with Bryan Adams, General Manager of the Elk River Municipal <br />Utilities, the potential for them to fund the lateral portion of the watermain with the City of Elk River <br />funding the trunk oversizing portion of the watermain. It is my understanding that the Elk River <br />Municipal Utilities Commission will discuss this issue at their regularly scheduled commission meeting <br />on Tuesday, August 20, 2002. <br /> <br />S. R. Weidema has successfully completed similar type projects in the City of Elk River in the past. <br />Therefore, we are recommending award to them as the lowest responsible bidder. We would <br />recommend that the alternate bid for the trunk watermain construction not be awarded at this time, but <br />a determination be made after the Elk River Municipal Utilities Commission meeting later this month. <br />Since the sanitary sewer will be constructed first, this time delay in awarding the alternate bid for the <br />trunk watermain will not cause a delay in the construction schedule. Attached for the City Council's <br />consideration is a resolution that awards the bid, excluding the alternate for trunk watermain, to S. R. <br />Weidema. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this information, I will be in attendance at your August 12, 2002 <br />City Council meeting. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
