P.02 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />FROM Jerry Bourdon <br />DATE: July 13, 1994 <br />SUBJECT: 1994 Street Improvement Project <br />Jackson Street / Old County Rd C / Lake Shore <br />Lake Street <br />Country Drive <br />Information for consideration of bid award <br />INTRODUCTION <br />This memo provides information for Council's consideration of bid award for this project. <br />Bids for the 1994 Street Improvement Project were received on Monday, July 11, 1994. <br />Ashbach Construction is the low bidder of two bids received. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />If Council awards the project, we expect the final costs to be within acceptable range <br />compared to the preliminary estimates. Work would begin in August with final completion <br />in October. The low bidder has a good reputation and is capable of properly executing and <br />completing the work. If awarded we recommend the award be made to Ashbach <br />Construction and include Alternate 1 (a deduct for recycled aggregate base) and Alternate <br />2 (installation of a traffic barrier). <br />Council may wish to consider the advantages of proceeding with the project now or <br />rebidding the work in the spring. Two issues impact this decision: <br />1. would bidding in the spring find a better bidding market, and <br />2. would 1995 spring / summer construction provide enough advantages aver 1994 <br />summer / fall construction. The bids received are within the coat ranges of the <br />preliminary cost estimates. <br />Page 7 <br />
