The bid of $5,757.30 for the Maple <br />Lane Trail was approximately the engineer's estimate and we feel this Is a competitive bid for <br />the work considering the difficulty of constructing.

Schifsky & Sons on a reconstruction project in Falcon Heights In <br />2000, which was successfully completed. We found their work to have met all specifications <br />and to be of good quality. We recommend award of the 2001 Street Reconstruction & Utility <br />Improvements project including the base bid and both alternates to T.A. Schifsky & Sons, as the <br />lowest responsible bidder. <br />O: \proJ■812430JLLTR 411.01 Bid Accept <br />1326 Energy Park Drive • St. Paul, MN 55108 • 651/644 -4389 fax 651/644 -9446 toll free 8881368 -4389 <br />PAGE 7 <br />
