There were a total of 5 bids. The following table lists the <br /> bidders and their total bid: <br /> 1. Richmar Construction, Inc. $416,400.00 <br /> 2. Moorehead Construction, Inc. $489,669.00 <br /> 3. Sheehy Construction, Inc. $494,300.00 <br /> CIVIL ENGINEERING. 4. Barbaroosa & Sons, Inc. $497,000.00 <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL 5. American General, Inc. $582,900.00 <br /> MUNICIPAL <br /> PLANNING The construction of this water treatment plant is very similar in nature to the water <br /> SOLID WASTE treatment plant recently completed on Gary Street. It is a pressurized filter system with a <br /> STRUCTURAL pond for discharge of the backwash water. The low bidder, Richmar Construction, Inc. <br /> SURVEYING was the Contractor for the Gary Street project. The Gary Street project was originally bid <br /> TRAFFIC approximately 2 years at $477,110.00. Change order #1 was prepared at the time of the <br /> TRANSPORTATION bid award, which changed the design to a pond for backwash water, lowering the total price <br /> to $384,365.00. In comparing that project to this low bid, it appears that the single largest <br /> ELECTRICAL/MECHANICAL increase is due to the cost of the concrete building. There has been approximately a 17% <br /> ENGINEERING: increase in the cost of this type of product in the last 2 years. The remainder of the items <br /> HVAC included in the project would reflect normal increases over the 2 year period. <br /> POWER DISTRIBUTION <br /> SCADA Based on Richmar's performance on the Gary Street water treatment plant, we are prepared <br /> SYSTEM CONTROLS to recommend award to them as the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of <br /> $416,400.00. If you have any questions regarding this project, I will be in attendance at <br /> your Tuesday, May 16, 1995, Utilities Commission meeting. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> OFFICES IN: 1. )1*-ar �.� <br /> MINNEAPOLIS Terry J.
