There were a total of four bids. The <br />following table provides a list of the bidders and their bids. <br /> <br />1. <br />2. <br />3. <br />4. <br /> <br />S.J. Louis Construction, Inc. <br />Veit and Company, Inc. <br />R.L. Larson Excavating, Inc. <br />Boboszenski & Sons <br /> <br />$101,661.85 <br />$112,251.28 <br />$131,567.10 <br />$146,695.35 <br /> <br />Since the opening of the bids, City staff has been working with the two landowners in <br />question to review the proposed realignment and to secure the necessary easement documents. <br />We have also been working with the landowners in an attempt to secure Class 5 material to <br />help reduce the total cost of the project. At this point in time we have not yet completed <br />these processes and feel that the low bid, which is slightly over $100,000, is too high to <br />proceed with at this time. We believe that given a little more time to work with the property <br />owners, we will be able to get cooperation from them which should help to reduce the total <br />cost of the project. Therefore, at this point in time, City staff is recommending that all bids <br />be rejected and the project be reconsidered in 1994. I have prepared a draft resolution <br />attached for your consideration which rejects the bids. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, I will be at attendance at Monday evening's meetings. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS <br /> <br />~pr~ <br /> <br />Terry J.
