PAUL <br />Dear Mr. Klaers: <br />We have tabulated the bids received by the City on June 8, 1995, for the Main Street and <br />Evans Avenue Storm Sewer Improvement project. There were a total of five bidders. The <br />following table provides a list of the bidders and their total bid. <br />Barbarossa and Sons $370,991.85 <br />R. L. Lazson Excavating 395,015.20 <br />Bonine Excavation, Inc. 399,007.00 <br />Northdale Construction 455,677.66 <br />Latour Construction 504,911.35 <br />As you recall, approximately two years ago a report was prepared regarding several storm <br />drainage issues within the City. In that report, we had initially estimated the cost of these <br />improvements, approximately $100,000 below the lowest bid submitted by Barbarossa and <br />Sons. Since that report, a number of things have changed which have caused the cost to <br />escalate. One major item is the need to remove, reinstall, and lengthen the culvert under <br />the UPA driveway access to TH .169. The total cost of this work adds approximately <br />$25,000 to the project. Other issues include a sanitary sewer line needed on Main Street <br />because the storm sewer interfere with existing building services and the realigning of the <br />storm sewer pipe and reconstnTCting the ditch along property lines in an effort to make the <br />properties belonging to Dr. Johnson and Earl Hohlen more developable in the future. <br />These items add approximately $50,000 to the total project cost. <br />As you are aware, Barbarossa and Sons is the Contractor who is currently working on the <br />Western Area Phase II improvements. They have successfully completed projects very <br />similar to this Main Street and Evans Avenue Storm Sewer project. Therefore, we would <br />recommend award to them as the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $370,991.85. <br />Attached for the City Council's consideration is a draft resolution which accomplishes this <br />award. <br />WASECA <br />
