Spring Lake Park Considerations: <br />The 2008 Street Maintenance Project is proposed to be constructed jointly with <br />the City of Spring Lake Park. As noted previously, the difference between the <br />low bid and the Engineer’s Estimate for the Spring Lake Park portion of the <br />construction is $24,533.65, or 29.9%. However, a large portion of this, <br />approximately $11,250, is attributed to bituminous patching work – shown as <br />construction Item No. 3 on the bid tabulation. <br />We have discussed the bid results with both the City Administrator and Public <br />Works Director of Spring Lake Park, and they have indicated that if the project <br />were to proceed, they would delete that work from the contract and not have it <br />performed. We have also discussed this proposal with the contractor, Allied <br />Blacktop Company, and they would be agreeable to that. <br />If the bituminous patching were deleted, the difference between the Engineer’s <br />Estimate and the low bid amount for the Spring Lake Park portion of the <br />construction would reduce to $13,283.65, or approximately 16.2%. <br />Given the fact that the low bids are in excess of the Engineer’s Estimate, Spring <br />Lake Park Staff is not able to state with certainty that the Spring Lake Park City <br />Council would concur with the project award. Therefore, award of the <br />construction contract would need to be made contingent upon concurrence from <br />the Spring Lake Park City Council at their next meeting of July 7, 2008. <br />Assuming the bituminous patching were removed from the construction, the <br />breakdown of the construction costs between Mounds View and Spring Lake <br />Park would be as shown in the following table: <br />2008 Street Maintenance Project <br />Construction Cost Percentage By City <br />Based on Low Bid – with Bituminous Patching Deleted <br />Item Amount Percent <br />Mounds View Construction Cost $159,656.60 62.6% <br />Spring Lake Park Construction Cost 95,363.40 37.4% <br />Total Estimated Construction Cost $255,020.00 100.00% <br />The breakdown shown in the table above is consistent with the breakdown of <br />63% Mounds View, 37% Spring Lake Park stated in the Agreement entered into <br />by the cities on March 10, 2008. <br />Project Schedule: <br />If the City Council wishes to proceed with the project, the anticipated schedule is <br />as follows. Please note the schedule has been updated based on discussions <br />with Spring Lake Park Staff and Allied Blacktop Company to accommodate the <br />desired concurrence of contract award by the Spring Lake Park City Council.
