There were a total of seven bids received. The following <br />list provides each bidder and his total bid: <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />Richard Knutson, Inc. <br />Arcon Construction, Inc. <br />LaTour Construction, Inc. <br />Progressive Contractors, Inc. <br />S. 1. Louis Construction, Inc. <br />Northdale Construction, Inc. <br />Bonine Excavating, Inc. <br /> <br />$463, 103.70 <br />472,400.04 <br />490,300.10 <br />520,035.20 <br />535,226.00 <br />628,469.10 <br />649,645.16 <br /> <br />The April 1993 feasibility study for this project estimated the total construction cost at $466,000. <br />The low bid is approximately 1 % under the feasibility study estimate. <br /> <br />As the City Council is aware, staff has been negotiating with the Nord family through Mr. Jim <br />Nord to acquire easements for the construction of these improvements. In exchange for the <br />easements, staff negotiated a deferral of the assessments against the Nord property. Attached <br />is a copy of the Letter of Understanding signed by Mr. Nord. The City Attorney is currently <br />preparing easement documents and an agreement relative to the deferral items listed in the Letter <br />of Understanding. At this point in time, these documents are not ready for signature by Mr. <br />Nord. We expect that this work will be accomplished in the next ten days to two weeks. <br /> <br />Richard Knutson, Inc., has successfully completed similar type projects in other communities in <br />the past. Therefore, we recommend award to Richard Knutson, Inc., as the lowest responsible <br />bidder. However, we suggest that the award be made contingent upon execution of the <br />easements and agreement between the City and the Nord family. <br /> <br />e <br /> <br />1959 SLOAN PLACE, SUITE 200, ST.
