ISR'F <br />SRF No. 13673_B <br />March 29, 2021 <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br />Subject: Youth Athletic Complex <br />Concession Building Renovation and Site Work <br />City of Elk River <br />SRF Project No. 13673_B <br />Dear Mayor and Council Members: <br />Bids were received for the above -referenced project on March 24, 2021 and were opened and read <br />aloud. A total of six responsive bids were received. The Engineer's Estimate for base bid was <br />$165,000.00. The bid tabulation indicates the low bidder as Ebert Construction, Inc., Corcoran, MN, <br />in the amount of $268,200.00, substantially higher than the Engineer's Estimate. Discussion with <br />contractors following the bid opening indicated that rising and volatile material costs were the primary <br />driver of higher bids. Based on this feedback, it appears unlikely that lower bid numbers would be <br />received if the project were rebid. <br />We recommend that the City consider these bids and award the contract to Ebert Construction, based <br />on the results of the bids received. <br />Sincerely, <br />446W <br />Tim Wold, PLA <br />Senior Associate <br />tbw <br />Enclosure <br />cc: Markus Ebert, Ebert Construction <br />Michael Hecker, City of Elk River <br />Mike Aaron, SRF <br />Tim McIlwain, HCM Architects <br />H:\Pr jects\ 13000\ 13673\Design\Docs\ 13673_B-YAC Bid Recommendation Letter 032921.docx <br />www.srfconsuIting.com <br />3701 Wayzata Boulevard, Suite 100 1 Minneapolis, MN 55416-3791 1 763.475.0010 <br />Equal Empigment Opportunity / Afirmative Action Employer <br />
