COUNCIL MINUTES SEPTEMBER 24, 2001 construction completion date of November 6, 2001 and an alternate bid with a completion date of May 15, 2002. All four (4) bidders had the same bid amount for both completion dates. The estimated construction cost, including the 10% contingency, presented at the May 14, 2001 public hearing was $223,747. The low bid, based on estimated quantities is $257,373.50. The estimated construction cost increase of $33,626 would result in an increase of the proposed assessments of about $1,050 per property. Staff has identified modifications to the plans that could reduce this increase, based on the contractor's unit prices. Staff is recommending, after the contract is awarded, staff discuss these changes with the contractor, and negotiate a change order to reduce the contract amount. Staff will not prepare the contract until Anoka County representatives are satisfied the contractor has met the CDBG requirements.
