X <br /> Explanation/Summary(attach supplement sheets as necessary) <br /> Summary: <br /> The bid opening for the reconstruction of Bronson Drive was held today at 11:00 am. A total of five <br /> contractors submitted bids. There were three alternates included in the plan. As you might recall the first <br /> alternate was to install pipe in the ditch from Belle Lane to the surface water pond behind Pinewood <br /> Elementary School instead of clearing and reshaping the ditch. The other two alternates were for the <br /> utilization of plastic pipe for the storm sewer through part of the project, or the entire project. Staff is <br /> recommending that plastic pipe be installed throughout the entire project, and that the pipe also be installed <br /> verses merely clearing and regrading the existing ditch. The Rice Creek Watershed District is still reviewing <br /> the plans, but staff does not anticipate and complications resulting from their review. <br /> A summary of the bid tab accompany's this report. <br /> Staff recommends award of the contract to include the base bid and alternate 2 & 3 to the low bidder, Forest <br /> Lake Contracting for the sum of$578,529.68. The total project cost is estimated to be $759,320.21, which <br /> includes construction contingency, construction engineering, administration expenses. A unit price for <br /> equipment cost was also requested to perform an undetermined amount of pond cleaning in the surface water <br /> pond north of Bronson Drive. <br /> ,i, --;' . <br /> Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works <br /> RECOMMENDATION: <br /> Staff recommends award of the contract to include the base bid and alternate 2 & 3 to the low bidder, Forest <br /> Lake Contracting for the sum of$578,529.68.
