TKDA <br />TOLTZ, KING, DUVALL, ANDERSON <br />ANO ASSOCIATES. INCORPORATED <br />ENGINEERS -ARCHITECTS -PLANNERS <br />October 4, 1995 <br />Mr. Marty Asleson <br />Parks, Recreation and Forestry Superintendent <br />1189 Main Street <br />Lino Lakes, Minnesota 55014 <br />Re: Bituminous Trail Paving <br />Lino Lakes, Minnesota <br />Commission No. 10414-950 <br />Dear Mr. Asleson: <br />1500 PIPER JAFFRAY PLAZA <br />444 CEDAR STREET <br />SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 551 01-21 40 <br />PHONE:812292-4400 FAX612/292-0083 <br />Consistent with our letter to you dated September 11, 1995, we submitted the trail paving project <br />to contractors currently working in the City. The quotes received from the three contractors are <br />as follows: <br />Unit <br />Contractor Price <br />Bonine Excavating $0.80/Square Foot <br />Richard Knutson, Inc. $0.81/Square Foot <br />Forest Lake Contracting $0.84/Square Foot <br />Total <br />Amount <br />$64,296.00 <br />65,099.70 <br />67,510.80 <br />An advertisement for bids was also placed in the Quad Community Press, the legal newspaper <br />for the City of Lino Lakes. One bid was received from Ashbach Construction Company. The <br />bid unit price quoted is $0.77/Square Foot which would put the contract amount at $61,884.90. <br />All of the quotes received exceeded the funding amounts available. <br />The list of trail segments to be paved was then reviewed by City staff to determine which <br />segments were priorities based on the immediate usefulness of the segment and its proximity to <br />residents. Based on this review, the attached list of segments to be paved was developed which <br />would keep the project scope within budget constraints. The contract amount to pave the listed <br />segments at the lowest quoted unit price would be $45,060.40. While it is possible the unit <br />prices may be lower if this project were delayed until next Spring, it is our understanding the <br />City wants to complete the paving yet this year if it's at all possible. <br />We recommend the contract be awarded to Ashbach Construction Company at the reduced <br />contract amount of $45,060.40. Ashbach representatives have been contacted and indicated the <br />reduced project scope is acceptable to them and their unit price will remain the same. <br />Please contact me at 292-4433 regarding further disposition of this matter. <br />Since <br />kfle <br />M.
