Olson James F Engelhardt Bids were opened for the CSAH 116 Sanitary Sewer & Water Main Improvement Project on Friday, September 24, 1993. Transmitted herewith are ten (10) copies of the bid tabulations for your files and city council members. The following summarizes the results of the Base Bids of the seven bids received: Low #2 #3 #4 #6 #7 Richard Knutson, Inc. Dave Perkins Contracting Barbarossa & Sons, Inc. Northdale Construction G L. Contracting, Inc. S.R. Weidema, Inc. S.J. Louis Construction $459,822.50 $481,145.00 $544,266.00 $564,857.50 573,041.40 $593,508.50 $597,867.00 The low bidder on the project was Richard Knutson, Inc. with a bid amount of $459,822.50. This bid has been reviewed and found to be in order. The low bid also compares favorably with the engineer's estimate of $460,000.00. The bid is 17% higher than the amount presented in the preliminary report. As a result, it is expected that assessments will have to be increased $400 per acre to cover the increased cost. 2335 West Highway 36 • St. Paul, MN 55113 • 612-636-4600 City of Medina File No. 19059 October 1, 1993 The following shows Richard Knutson's bid amounts for the five alternate bids and how they compare to the average of the lowest five bidders. Alt. Bid No. R K I Bid Avg. #1 $11,862.30 $47,527.62 #2 $3,010.00 $8,384.40 #3 $55,814.00 $52,219.12 #4 $53,922.50 $48,268.75 #5 $49,094.50 $44,230.96 The base bid provides for floating the pipe over the poor soils between Manholes 284 and 285. We would expect the floating option to have a 90% chance of success. However, there is some risk involved in the base bid in that it is possible that failure of the pipe could occur. If this were to happen, piling would need to be placed to support the pipe. Placing piling to correct the situation in the event of pipe failure would be required at a cost of $77,300.00 based upon Alternate Bid No. 3. If the City were to select Alternate Bid No. 3 at the onset of the project, the increase would be $55,814.00. Alternate Bid Nos. 1 and 2 provide for other alignments for the pipeline between Manhole 281 and 285. Based upon the bid amounts, I would recommend that the City pursue Alt. Bid No. 2 - East Alignment to provide the alignment between Manholes 281 and 285. This alternate provides an alignment option that is shorter, but results in greater trench depths and closer working conditions. Sheeting may be necessary to protect building foundations adjacent to the trench. Alternate Bid No. 2 will add $3,010.00 to the base bid amount. Alternate Bid No. 4 provides for construction of lateral sewer to serve the five residents along County Road 116 near Meander Road. Alternate Bid No. 5 provides for construction of lateral sewer and water main on Evergreen Drive near the Thorp Building. We would expect that the City could save $5,000 on each of these projects if they were rebid. We would not recommend award of these alternatives. We are therefore recommending that the contract be awarded to Richard Knutson, Inc. for the amount of $462,832.50 which includes Alternate Bid No. 2 only.
