Item No. 7D Staff Report No. Meeting Date: July 23, 2001 Type of Business: C.B. WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Consideration of City Hall Boiler Quotes Date of Report: August 29, 2018 Staff requested quotes from contractors for the replacement and updating of the City Hall Boiler system. Based upon the substantial differences in the low quote and the next lowest quote, staff requested additional information from all of the contractors. The second low bidder and the lower bidder did adjust the bid, whereas the initial high bid remained the same. The bid submitted by the low bidder still does not meet with the City’s specifications and request for additional information. Staff recommends this quote be rejected for not complying with the specified equipment requested. The bids are as follows: McQuillan Bros. $18,100.00 Quote rejected Lakes Air Heating & Cooling $24,650.00 Paul Falz Co. $33,815.00 This replacement will provide the City Hall building with an energy efficient heating system with a design life expectance of 25 years. Omitted from each bid is the abatement of asbestos insulation from the heating pipes in the project area. Staff is estimating that this expense will be approximately $1,000.00. RECOMMENDATION: Council reject the apparent low quote for not complying with the specifications and award the replacement of the City Hall boiler system to Lakes Air Heating & Cooling, to be funded from the General Fund Contingency Fund. An estimated $1,000.00 for asbestos abatement will also be funded from the GF Contingency Fund. _________________________________ Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works \\Ntserver\CityHall\DATA\GROUPS\PUBWORKS\Mike's documents\staff reports\City Hall Boiler Quote.doc
