A total of 4 bids were received. However, two of the bids were declared to be <br />non -conforming because each bidder failed to acknowledge whether Alternate Bid Item No. 1 was <br />additive or deductive to the base bid. Neither bid was the low bidder. The results of the bid <br />opening are presented below. <br />Contractor <br />Base Bid <br />Alternate No. 1 <br />Rice Lake Construction Group <br />$756,400.00 <br />$16,000.00 <br />Magney Construction, Inc. <br />$772,600.00 <br />$30,000.00 <br />Municipal Builders, Inc. <br />Rejected <br />Maertens-Brenney Construction Co. <br />Rejected <br />City Council action is required to award a construction contract to the lowest responsible bidder. <br />The low bid as submitted by Rice Lake Construction Group of Deerwood, Minnesota in the <br />amount of $756,400.00. The Engineer's estimated construction cost for the project was <br />$770,000.00. <br />The bid package included an alternate bid item for a metal standing seam roof in lieu of a <br />shingled roof. Based on the low bid received this would add an additional $16,000 to the project <br />costs. It is the opinion of staff that the shingled roof is more uniform with surrounding <br />residential construction and more cost effective over the life of the structure. Therefore staff is <br />recommending award of only the base bid in the amount of $756,400. <br />
