AGENDA ITEM 7H
STAFF ORIGINATOR: John Powell, City Engineer
COUNCIL MEETING DATE: September 24, 2001
TOPIC: Resolution No. 01-158, Award Contract, Twilight Acres Sanitary Sewer Extension
VOTE REQUIRED: Simple Majority
BACKGROUND:
At the September 10, 2001, meeting the City Council received the bids for the
referenced project. The low bid was received from Volk Sewer and Water, Inc. in the
amount of $257,373.50. The project was bid with a construction completion date of
November 16, 2001 and an alternate bid with a completion date of May 15, 2002. All
four 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. We recommend, after the contract is awarded, we 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.
OPTIONS:
1. Return to staff for further review.
2. Adopt Resolution Number 01-158.
3. Not adopt Resolution No. 01-158.
RECOMMENDATION:
Option No. 2 - Staff recommends adoption of Resolution Number 01-158.
