The bid package included the site grading, sanitary sewer, water, storm <br />sewer, and street construction. There were a total of 16 bidders. The following list provides <br />the low three bidders and their total bid amount. Also attached is a complete bid tabulation. <br /> <br />Bidder <br /> <br />Amount <br /> <br />Northdale Construction, Inc. $645,415.33 <br />Kober Excavating, Inc. $653,955.14 <br />Barbarossa & Sons, Inc. $659,729.80 <br /> <br />The original feasibility study for this project estimated the total construction cost at just over <br />$1 million. As perspective businesses were identified to locate in the Northstar Business <br />Park, the layout of the final plat was adjusted, reducing the construction cost slightly. The <br />revised estimate was approximately $850,000. Northdale Construction's bid is significantly <br />below this revised construction cost estimate. N orthdale Construction has successfully <br />completed similar projects in the past, therefore, we would recormnend award to them as the <br />lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $645,415.33. Attached for the City Council's <br />consideration is a resolution that would award the Northstar Business Park Improvements to <br />Northdale Construction. <br /> <br />Funding for the cost of the improvements in the Northstar Business Park is proposed to be <br />through assessments of all project costs to the benefited buidable lots.
