Howard R, Green Company <br />March 11, 2002 <br />File: 816800J-0060 <br /> <br />Item 5.3. <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />City of Elk River <br />13065 Orono Parkway <br />P.O. Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330-0490 <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />SANITARY SEWER LINING <br />CONSTRUCTION BIDS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />We have tabulated the bids received on Tuesday, March 5, for the 2002 Sewer Lining project. <br />There were a total'of three bids. The following list provides the bidders and their total bid: <br /> <br />Visu-Sewer Clean & Seal <br />Insituform Technologies <br />Lametti & Sons <br /> <br />$62,849.25 <br />$65,917.50 <br />$66,245.00 <br /> <br />The two areas being considered for sewer lining in 2002 are 8th Street from Upland Avenue to <br />Watson Avenue, and the other area is 6th and 7th Street just east of Irving Avenue. Both of <br />these areas have had a history of sewer blockage problems causing the Sewer Department to <br />spend a significant amount of maintenance time trying to keep the lines clean. <br /> <br />The 2002 budget contained $52,000 for sanitary sewer lining based on an estimate of 1,468 <br />feet. The total length of sewer line that was bid in the 2002 project was 2,395 feet. As you can <br />see, the project is slightly over budget, but is a very competitive bid when evaluated on a per <br />foot basis. We have discussed these total bids with Gary Leirmoe, Chief Operator of the <br />wastewater treatment plant, and Lori Johnson, Finance Director. Based on our discussion, we <br />would recommend that the City Council award the entire project to Visu-Sewer Clean & Seal. <br />Attached is a resolution for your consideration that awards this project to Visu-Sewer Clean & <br />Seal. <br /> <br />If you have any questions regarding this information, please call. <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Howard R.
