<br />Taut: MOW
<br />TO: Joel Hanson, Little Canada City Administrator
<br />Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
<br />FROM: Lee Elfering, City Engineer
<br />DATE: April 23, 2008
<br />RE: City of Little Canada / City of Maplewood
<br />Kohlman Lane Area Project
<br />Recommendation to Authorize Award of Project
<br />The City of Maplewood advertised and bids were received on Friday, April 18, 2007 for
<br />the above referenced project. As you are aware the project involved the reconstruction
<br />of the streets in the Kohlman Lane area, including Beam Avenue, along with the
<br />installation of watermain. As part of the project an alternate was included at the request
<br />of the City of Little Canada for the installation of a sewer extension to allow for gravity
<br />sanitary service to properties south of LaBore Road. The City of Maplewood was
<br />bidding other project alternates for work within their City, but they have determined that
<br />the additional benefit did not outweigh the added cost. The tabulation of the bids based
<br />on the Base Bid and Bid Alternate 2 is shown below.

<br />Based on the bids received C.W. Houle was the successful low bidder for the base bid
<br />and the base bid plus alternate 2, therefore the City of Maplewood has indicated that
<br />they will be awarding the project to C.W. Houle. The entire cost of Bid Alternate #2 will
<br />be the responsibility of Little Canada, therefore the choice to award this alternate lies
<br />entirely with the City. C.W. Houle's bid for alternate #2 was not the lowest for the
<br />individual alternate; however it is still within the price range estimated for the sanitary
<br />sewer extension. If the extension is not completed at this time the opportunity to allow
<br />for gravity sanitary sewer service to the properties south of LaBore Road will most likely
<br />not be feasible in the future due to the impacts within an adjacent City.
