/ / , I /// r r MEMO TO: Mounds View City C -unc. 1 FROM: Bruce K. Anderson p, e .or. .s Parks, Recreation Fo DATE: April 18, 1985 RE: Greenfield Park Bid Opening Staff held a hid opening on Wednesday morning, April 17, 1985 for Phase I included the followingcon- structiondevelop- of Greenfield Park. The bid opening l� 9 ment projects: 1. Approximately 4,230 linear feet of bituminous and limestone trail con- struction. 2. Relocation of the existing baseball field including fencing and backstop. 3. Bituminous entrance road and parking lot. 4. Twin tennis courts. 5. Storm sewer extension. 6. Culvert installation. 7. Tennis court lighting. There were fifteen sets of plans that were picked up by major contractors and sub-contractors during the past three weeks. At the formal hid opening, four • firms submitted bid proposals. Each of the four firms that submitted bid pro- posals acknowledged the hid addendum and included a bid bond as outlined in the original hid specifications. The hid proposals ranged from a low of $123,500 to a high of $196,232.25. The low bid was suhnitted by Midwest Asphalt Company which is the same firm that submitted the low bid for the MSA street construction projects. In addi- tion to the low bid price, staff has reviewed the scheduled unit prices and compared them to the other three bid firms. They are comparable in unit price costs, with no one major unit cost priced at an exorbitant rate to cause con- cern. As a matter of fact, the hid price of $1.25 for the polypropylene con- struction fabric per square yard was the lowest of the four firms and will probably be one of the major items that staff will be recommending as a poss- ible contract ammendment. Total budget for the Greenfield Park Project is S180,000 of which we have allocated approximately 518,500 to the firm of Barton-Aschman the engineering consulting fees. This places the low bid estimate approximately $40,000 below total project cost. Staff would recommend that the low hid of $123,500 be awarded to Midwest Asphalt Co. and we will be reviewing potential alternatives as to what addi- tional projects might be included to complete Phase I. Staff has been in con- tact with State L.A.W.C.O.N. officials and they have indicated strong support to an addendum to the contract to ensure that the dollars are utilized for projects at Greenfield Park. Staff feels a favorable bid from Midwest Asphalt 111/1 can be directly tied in with the low bid that was received for the MSA street project which will reduce the mobilization costs as well as allow them to work on both projects simultaneously. RECOMMENDATI(NJ: To award the low hid of $123,500 to Midwest Asphalt Company for Phase I Development of Greenfield Park. BKA/s11 Attachment
