The successful lowest bidder was <br />Gridor Construction, Inc., whose bid was $3,292,900. Their bid was well below the estimate <br />for the project as we discussed at the workshop. The competitiveness of the market was <br />apparently reflected in both the number of bidders and the prices for this project. <br /> <br />In 1994, Gridor Construction, Inc., completed the Interim Upgrade project for the Elk River <br />wastewater treatment plant. This upgrade is the continuing effort of the Interim Upgrade for <br />the expansion of the wastewater treatment plant from its current 1.04 million gallons per day <br />capacity to 2.20 million gallons per day. <br /> <br />OFFICES IN: <br /> <br />MINNEAPOLIS <br /> <br />PRIOR LAKE <br /> <br />ST.

Attached is a draft resolution which accepts the bid and authorizes <br />execution of a contract with Gridor Construction. <br /> <br />An Equal Opportunity Employer <br /> <br /> <br />
