<br />
<br />Based on the Base Bid, the low bid received was submitted by Minger Construction Co. Inc. in the
<br />amount of $1,898,658.75.
<br />
<br />In reliance on our experience with Minger Construction and/or materials and information provided by the
<br />contractor, we have determined that they have a sufficient understanding of the project and equipment to
<br />perform the construction for which it bid. SEH makes no representation or warra nty as to the actual
<br />financial viability of the contractor or its ability to complete its work.
<br />
<br />Minger Construction has completed similar work in Lake Elmo and the surrounding communities. SEH
<br />concludes that Minger Construction has the experience and ability to complete a project of this size and
<br />scope. Accordingly, and since a lift station is needed to serve the project area, we recommend the
<br />project be awarded to Minger Construction with Bid Alternate B in the amount of $2,296,658.75.
<br />
<br />Please contact me if you need any additional information or wish to discuss further. I can be reached at

<br />Sincerely,
<br />
