Box 490 <br />Elk River, MN 55330 <br /> <br />RE: 171ST AVENUE / ULYSSES STREET CONSTRUCTION BIDS <br /> <br />Dear Council Members: <br /> <br />NiNG <br /> <br />'"",=ICES iN: <br /> <br /> ,~NEAPOLIS <br /> <br />PRIOR LAKE <br /> <br />ST. PAUL <br /> <br />WASECA <br /> <br />On Thursday, August 15, 1996, we opened bids for the street improvements on 171st <br />Avenue and Ulysses Street. There were a total of six bidders. The table below provides <br />a listing of the bidders and their total bid: <br /> <br />W. B. Miller, Inc. <br />Forest Lake Contracting <br />Valley Paving <br />Bauerly Brothers <br />R. L. Larson Excavating, Inc. <br />Hardrives. Inc. <br /> <br />$379,656.35 <br /> 396,011.05 <br /> 409,159.89 <br /> 413,941.77 <br /> 430,396.47 <br /> 460,776.46 <br /> <br />Prior to starting the project, two items remain to be accomplished. The fin-st is to receive <br />MnDOT approval of the plans. We anticipate that will happen sometime this week. The <br />second item is to reach agreement with the four property owners, Charlie and Greg <br />Houle, Tim Snyder. and Roger Eull, from whom we need easements. We have met with <br />all of these parties and anticipate that very quickly we will reach agreement on the cost <br />of easement acquisition. The tim_al party from whom we need easements is the LeFebvres. <br />Their easements will be provided through the final platting of their property. <br /> <br />W. B. Miller, Inc.. has successfully completed similar sized projects; therefore, we are <br />prepared to recommend award to them as the lowest responsible bidder. Anticipating <br />MnDOT approval and successful completion of the easement negotiations, we would <br />recommend to the City Council that they award the project to W. B. Miller, Inc., <br />contingent on those two items. This will allow the paperwork to be done concurrently <br />with MnDOT approval and completing easement negotiations. We would anticipate that <br />construction should be ready to begin shortly after Labor Day. <br /> <br />,~'~ Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
