Attached please find a Tabulation of the <br />Bids. <br />Of the eight bids received, the initial apparent low bidder at $339,200 was M.C. Magney <br />Construction, Inc. However, shortly after the completion of the bid opening, Mr. Jerry Adriaens, <br />with M.C. Magney Construction, Inc., came in and said he had erroneously written down the wrong <br />number, and their real bid was $399,200. <br />Upon returning to my office, I called Mr. Mark Magney, President of M.C. Magney Construction, <br />Inc., and asked him what had happened. He said Jerry had made a mistake in writing down the <br />bid, and the real number was $399,200. About an hour later, Mr. Mark Magney was in my office <br />with a letter stating the same and that they were "withdrawing their bid for the referenced project". <br />The next low bidder was Sheehy Construction Company, Inc. at $391,300. At 12:47 p.m. today, I <br />spoke to Mr. Mike Sheehy about his bid. He said "...we're fine with our price and want to do the <br />job". <br />Since M.C. Magney Construction, Inc. has officially withdrawn their bid in writing, I recommend <br />the project be awarded to Sheehy Construction Company, Inc, 360 West Larpenteur Avenue, St. <br />Paul, MN 55113 in the amount of $391,300. The engineer's estimate presented in writing prior to <br />the bid opening was $380,600. <br />Sheehy Construction Company, Inc. is currently finishing Water Treatment Plant No. 2 for which <br />SEH is the engineer at Lakeland, Minnesota. Also, Sheehy Construction Company, Inc. constructed <br />Water Treatment Plant No. 1 at Lakeland approximately four years ago where we were also the <br />engineer. Sheehy Construction Company, Inc. is a reputable contractor and will do a good job for <br />the City on this project. <br />SHORT ELLIOTT <br />HENDRICKSON INC. MINNEAPOLIS, MN ST.
