~L~RIIi~ ~ASSOQ~T~S TAU(BURTU Memo TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer DATE: February 10, 2010 RE: Little Canada Road Bridge Rail Replacement Bids were opened for the above referenced project at 11:00 a.m. on Wednesday, February 10, 2010 in accordance with the Advertisement for Bids. The project includes the replacement of the existing chain link fence with ornamental railing on the Little Canada Road Bridge over Interstate 35E along with a new surface treatment on the parapet to eliminate the staining that has occurred. This project was originally bid in October of 2009, but at that time only one bid was received and it was the recommendation of staff that the project be rebid. Two (2) bids were received this time from the following companies: Corporation Base Bid Sunram Construction $112,534.12 Global Specialty Contractors $142,024.00 The bidders are listed above from low base bid to high base bid. Based on the bids received, Sunram Construction is the low bidder. The low bid received appears to be competitive and the bids have been reviewed for errors and/or omissions. Sunram Construction has completed retaining wall work within the City as a subcontractor on our street reconstruction projects and past experience with them reflects that they are a responsive and responsible bidder. The Minnesota Department of Transportation (Mn/DOT) is providing some funding for this project and concurrence of award is required from their office prior to actual award. Therefore, we would recommend that the City Council authorize award of the project to Sunram Construction in the amount of $112,534.12 contingent on concurrence from Mn/DOT.
