Memo <br />lifaltiG 6- ASSOCIATES <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 />BASE BID + BID ALTERNATE #2 SUMMARY <br />Contractor <br />Base Bid <br />Little Canada Sewer <br />Bid Alt. 2 <br />Base Bid + Bid Alt 2 <br />C.W. Houle <br />$ <br />1,780,023.10 <br />$ 95,785.90 <br />$ <br />1,875,809.00 <br />T.A.

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. <br />10062 Flanders Court NE — Blaine, MN 55449 — Ph: (763) 780 -0450 Fax (763) 780 -0452 <br />Z: \PROD \120107E - Beam Avenue \Memo- 042308 -CC (Project Award).doc <br />
