SUMMARY STATEMENT:
During March 2022, the City, with the assistance of Horrocks Engineers, conducted formal bidding for the 1st Street - Phase 3A Subsurface Utilities construction contract. The project
consists of subsurface stormwater and water main utility installations and temporary pavement restoration. This project is the first half of Phase 3 of the Downtown Core Reconstruction
project. The second half (Phase 3B) will include formal surface streetscape improvements (road section, sidewalk, curb and gutter, landscaping lighting, etc.) that will occur after
the completion of Phase 3A.
The bid opening occurred on 3/23/22, and the City received 1 bid. Horrocks Engineers has reviewed the single bid (from Blue Sky Construction) received for accuracy and responsiveness.
Attached is a letter from Project Engineer, Heidi Carter discussing the bid results in comparison to the Engineer’s estimate and providing a recommendation (in consultation with the
City’s Engineer and Project Manager) to reject Blue Sky’s bid. Their bid was ~77% over the engineer’s estimate. After reaching out to the contractor community, the project team is
optimistic that bidding in Fall 2023 will provide for more competitive bidding and lower unit pricing due to current inflation for public works construction materials and labor.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Reject the bid from Blue Sky Construction, LLC for the 1st Street – Phase 3A Subsurface Utilities project; and authorize staff to work with Horrocks Engineers on rebidding the project
for construction in 2023.
