Briese Iron Works,Inc. was <br /> one of the original three bidders and has been willing provide us another bid for this smaller <br /> scope of work. Due to the estimated dollar value of the structural steel in Area B and the <br /> miscellaneous metals work,this scope will have to be publicly bid which we are preparing <br /> documents for. <br /> We recommend to the Utilities Commission that they approve the award of the following <br /> contracts at this time. <br /> BID CATEGORY AWARD AMOUNT <br /> 5A1—Steel Material Base Bid: $172,730.00 <br /> Briese Iron Works, Inc. <br /> 7010 Dresser Dr. NE <br /> Rochesters, MN 55906 <br /> If you have any question, please feel free to contact me at your earliest convenience. <br /> Sincerely <br /> Just' Rice <br /> Sen. r Project Manager <br /> 830 Boone Avenue North <br /> Golden Valley,Minnesota 55427 952-837-8600 RJMConstruction.com <br />
