<br />City of Lino Lakes - Mayor and City Council
<br />Bid Results Summary and Recommendations
<br />027
<br />The following is a summary of the bidding process and results, review of the apparent low bid
<br />general contractor and recommendations for City Council consideration for the Lino Lakes Fire
<br />Station project.
<br />Bid Process
<br />The pre-bid process went smoothly and there was significant general contractor as well as
<br />subcontractor interest in this project. This was evident by the large number of general contractors
<br />obtaining bidding documents, the significant quantity of product substitution submittals received by
<br />our office, and the high volume of requests for bidder lists we responded to.
<br />Bid Results
<br />The bids for the Fire Station were received on February 12, 2014, based on the plans and
<br />specifications developed by CNH Architects and our consultant team. The bids were opened and
<br />read aloud to all in attendance. There were twelve conforming bids submitted by general contractors
<br />as shown in the table below.

<br />As noted above, the bids were relatively tight with the apparent low bidder, Jorgenson Construction,
<br />being just 2.5% below the next grouping of three contractors all of which were in the $3.9 million
<br />range. In addition to the 12 bidders shown above, three general contractors on the plan holder list
<br />did not submit bids and one bid submitted was determined by the City Attorney to be
<br />nonconforming. The low base bid of $3,498,000 for the fire station without internal road is
<br />approximately 10% below the cost estimates provided.
