Bids were opened on August 1, 2002 for the project. The Engineers <br />estimated construction cost was $321,500.00. <br />Two bids were received for the project as follows: <br />Bidder <br />Barbarossa & Sons <br />Lametti & Sons <br />Amount <br />$368,473.00 <br />$387,745.00 <br />The low bid of $368,473.00 was received from Barbarossa & Sons. The bid amount is <br />approximately 13% over the engineer's estimate. This is a significant increase over <br />what was expected. It is likely that the number of bids received and the high bid <br />amounts were a result of the poor weather conditions experienced during this year's <br />construction season. <br />It is staff's opinion that it would be in the best interests of the city to reject all bids at this <br />time. We would recommend that the project be rebid early next spring under more <br />favorable bidding conditions. <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br />Adopt Resolution Number 02-91, rejecting all bids for the Black Duck Lift Station <br />project. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
