Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: HILLSIDE CROSSING II CONSTRUCTION BIDS <br /> <br />ITEM 5.7. <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />We have tabulated the bids received on Thursday, May 2, 1996, for the public <br />improvements in the Hillside Crossing II development. There were a total of 12 bids <br />submitted. The following list provides the name of the bidder and the amount of their total <br />bid: <br /> <br />CIVIL ENGINEERING <br /> <br />ENVIRONMENTAL <br /> <br />MUNICIPAL <br /> <br />:~OLID WAS!

Because it was petitioned by the Developer, there was no formal feasibility <br />prepared. However, the low bid is approximately $75,000 under the Engineer's estimate. <br /> <br />Mid-Minnesota Concrete & Excavating has not done similar type work in Elk River or <br />other locations, for that matter. This is a new division and they have just started providing <br />underground construction. We are familiar with the individual who is partner in the finn <br />that will head this division, however. Peter Mechtel has approximately 25 years of sewer <br />and water experience. In the past, he has worked for R. L. Larson Excavating, who has <br />done similar type projects in the City of Elk River over the years. Because of their status <br />as a new division, I have asked both Pete and his partner to meet with Rick Foster to <br />discuss how they plan to attack the project. I have also asked for, and received, a listing <br />of equipment and crews that will be available to work on the project, a listing of <br />subcontractors and materials suppliers, and also a tentative schedule to indicate how they <br />plan to complete the project. <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
