Res. 7806, Approving Bidding Docs & Authorizing Ad for Bids to Demo. & Reconst. Lambert Park Bldg. <br />Page 3 <br />Recommendation: <br />Staff recommends that the City Council consider adopting the attached resolution. Doing so will <br />authorize the advertisement for public bids and set a bid opening date of July 20, 2011. <br />Although the architect’s construction cost estimate seems high, actual costs will not be known <br />until bids are received. Adopting the attached resolution only authorizes getting bids – not <br />committing to constructing the project. That consideration is anticipated to occur at the July 25, <br />2011 Council meeting. It is also possible to discuss with the successful bidder ideas to reduce <br />the costs, otherwise known as “value engineering”. The bidding process is just a means to pick <br />a contractor based upon a level playing field. Alternatively, if bid amounts come in higher than <br />desirable, it is possible to modify the bidding documents and rebid the project. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Nick DeBar - Public Works Director <br /> <br />Attachments: <br /> Resolution 7806 <br /> TKDA Cost Estimate (June 23, 2011) <br /> 2 Building Plan Sheets (A1.1, A4.1)
