515 Little Canada Road, Little Canada, MN 55117 -1600 <br />(612) 484 -2177 / FAX: (612) 484 -4538 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Mayor Hanson & Members of the City Council <br />FROM: Dave Harris, Public Works Superintendent <br />DATE: July 22, 1994 <br />RE: 1994 Sealcoating Bids <br />MA YOR <br />Raymond G. Hanson <br />COUNCIL <br />Beverly Scalze <br />Jim LaValle <br />Steve Morelan <br />Bob Pedersen <br />ADMINISTRATOR <br />Joel R. Hanson <br />This year we received one bid for sealcoating. It was from <br />Allied Asphalt. The reason we did not receive more bids was due <br />to the fact that we specified trap rock for the industrial park. <br />Allied is the only one who has trap rock available to them due to <br />their stockpiling of the material while they have been in <br />business. <br />Bituminous Roadways (normally our other bidder) could not get the <br />trap rock. The shortage of trap rock was due to a fire at the <br />Dresser plant where the trap rock is ground for sealcoating. <br />Since the machine was destroyed, they have not been able to build <br />a new one as of yet. <br />The other bidder, Schifsky, did not respond. <br />Prices for the sealcoating of the FA -3 trap rock for the <br />industrial park came in at $.469 per square yard, bringing the <br />total for the industrial park to $36,971.27. This total could be <br />up or down depending on the amount of extra material or less <br />material that may be required to complete the project. Prices <br />for the FA -2 granite chip for the Westwinds area came in at $.429 <br />per square yard, bringing that total to $4,312.74. The grand <br />total of 1994 sealcoating would then be $41,284.01. The budgeted <br />amount for sealcoating this year was $30,000.00. Therefore, we <br />would be exceeding the budget by $11,284.01. I do not believe we <br />will exceed the $11,284.01 difference, but will be under it. <br />I spoke with the City Administrator on this matter. He believes <br />that the extra funds will be available to complete both projects <br />as Windrow and Westwind were not originally figured in the <br />sealcoating. Therefore, I recommend we award the sealcoating bid <br />to Allied Asphalt for the 1994 program. If you have any <br />questions regarding this issue, please contact me at your <br />earliest convenience. <br />DBH:kpv <br />Page 159 <br />
