BOX 490 <br />1-800-888-2923 Elk River, MN 55330 <br />ITEM 4.4. <br />Fox: 612-644-9446 <br />RE: WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT BUILDING REPAINTING <br />Dear Council Members: <br />We have investigated the paint system proposed by Rainbow, Inc., the low bidder of the <br />above referenced project. The Tri-Sheen products the Contractor proposed with their <br />June 14th resubmittal, have similar ingredients as the Thoro products we specified. Both <br />products have similar characteristics and the same waterprooFmg capability. With <br />Tri-Sheen products, staining can be omitted. <br />avR ENGwEERING In discussion with the wastewater treatment plant superintendent, Mr. Darrell Mack, we <br />ENVIRONMENTAL feel that the Contractor's proposed paint system is acceptable. Although, the Contractor <br />MuNloPm made a legitimate mistake in their original bid, their resubmittal of $20,350 is still <br />PLANNING substantially lower than the second low bid, which was $27,231 without staining, and <br />LID WASTE $31,764 with staining. In comparison with the Contractor's original bid price, the <br />RuauRAl resubmittal is only $740 higher than the original bid price of $19,610 with staining. <br />SURVEYING <br />TRAEHC Instead of re-advertising the project, we recommend the City award the project to <br />TRANSPORTATIO" Rainbow, Inc., followed by issuance of a change order to accept the Contractor's <br />recommended paint system. Thank you very much for your attenfion to this matter. If you <br />ELECrRICAI/MECHANICAI have an uestions, lease feel free to call me at 644-4389. <br />ENGINEERING.
