Bond Counsel for the Issuance of General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan Bonds
<br />for Financing the Construction of a Public Works Facility.
<br />• January 9, 2017, Approved Resolution 8696, Resolution to Approve Plans and
<br />Specifications for Public Works Facility and Authorize Advertisement for Bids
<br />
<br />The project was advertised in the Sun Focus starting on January 20, 2017, and it ran in four
<br />consecutive papers through February 10, 2017. In addition, the plans and specifications were
<br />available at Oertel Architects, the Minnesota Builders Exchange, Dodge Data Analytics, CMD
<br />Construction Market Data, Blue Book and on the City of Mounds View’s website. On January
<br />25, 2017 there was a mandatory pre-bid conference that was attended by 25 general
<br />contractors and subcontractors.
<br />
<br />The bid opening was held on February 21, 2017 in the City Council Chambers. There were 12
<br />bids received. As part of the bidding process there were five Addendum issued that clarified
<br />questions asked of the architect and provided additional information regarding the project. The
<br />most critical of these provided the contractors with knowledge that the Public Works staff would
<br />be vacating the building. This allowed the contractors to plan for demolishing the entire building
<br />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
<br />for three items. Bid alternates allow either reduction of work to reduce cost of the building or
<br />addition of work that is not critical to the operation of the building. Alternate 1 is additive for
<br />painting the vehicle storage area walls. Alternate 2 is additive for providing concrete storage
<br />panels for the bulk material storage area. Alternate 3 is deductive for reducing the vehicle
<br />storage area by 20 feet in length. Alternate 4 is deductive for reducing the size of the cold
<br />storage area by approximately 21 feet in length. Unit prices are for various smaller items of
<br />work that can be added (typically in minimum amounts) to the project that provide better
<br />functionality or aesthetics. Unit price number 1 is for each additional skylight and the minimum
<br />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
<br />for 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
<br />other items needed to complete the project. The Final Project Estimate is $6,900,198, and the
<br />As Bid cost is $6,207,196. The bid price is shown to the right of the final project estimate. The
<br />Base Bid for the low bidder is well below the estimate and staff is recommending that alternates
<br />1 and 2 be awarded with the contract.
