<br />and on the City of Mounds View’s website. On January 25, 2017 there was a mandatory pre-bid
<br />conference that was attended by 25 general contractors and subcontractors.
<br />
<br />The bid opening was held on February 21, 2017 in the City Council Chambers. There were 12 bids
<br />received. As part of the bidding process there were five Addendum issued that clarified questions asked
<br />of the architect. The most critical of these provided the contractors with knowledge that the Public Works
<br />staff would be vacating the building. This allowed the contractors to plan for demolishing the entire
<br />building and not providing any temporary enclosures. The following table provides the bidders names,
<br />base bids, alternate bids and unit prices.
<br />
<br />During the bidding process, there were four alternate bid items along with a unit price request for three
<br />items. Bid alternates allow either reduction of work to reduce cost of the building or addition of work that
<br />is not critical to the operation of the building. Alternate 1 is additive for painting the vehicle storage area
<br />walls. Alternate 2 is additive for providing concrete storage panels for the bulk material storage area.
<br />Alternate 3 is deductive for reducing the vehicle storage area by 20 feet in length. Alternate 4 is
<br />deductive for reducing the size of the cold storage area by approximately 21 feet in length. Unit prices
<br />are for various smaller items of work that can be added (typically in minimum amounts) to the project that
<br />provide better functionality or aesthetics. Unit price number 1 is for each additional skylight and the
<br />minimum order is 4 units. Unit price number 2 is for each additional section of decorative screen wall
<br />fencing, and the minimum order is for 12 sections, each 4 feet in length. Unit price number 3 is for
<br />asphalt paving per square yard, and the minimum order is 20 square yards.
<br />
<br />The current project estimate is presented below along with the bid cost for the construction and other
<br />items needed to complete the project. The Final Project Estimate is $6,900,198, and the As Bid cost is
<br />$6,161,964. The bid price is shown to the right of the final project estimate. The Base Bid for the low
<br />bidder is well below the estimate and staff is recommending that alternates 1 and 2 are awarded with the
<br />contract. Additionally, there are some related relocation costs as the public works staff will be vacating
<br />the building during the entire construction project. These costs include rental of storage ‘pods’ for a 1
<br />year duration, fencing around the storage area for security, installation of security lighting and additional
<br />electrical work to allow the relocation of the air compressor and welder, and the relocation of the SCADA
<br />(supervisory control and data acquisition) system for the water system. Also under the relocation costs is
<br />the hazardous material abatement work needed to remove the asbestos containing material prior to
<br />demolition.
