MI.1-10 TO: Nayur and City CUUOCil FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development r. Ili DATE: October 20, 1983 J� SUBJECT: STORM SEWER CONSTRUCTION ON ST. STEPHEN STREET Per discussion at the City Council meeting on October 17, 1983, staff has proceeded with obtaining quotations from two contractors for installation of a storm sewer pipe 12 inches in diameter running from St. Stephen Street westerly and connecting to the existing 21 inch storm sewer at the rear of the luts. The two firms contacted were Ray Perron and Son, Contractors from New Brighton, Minnesota and Dawson Construction, Inc. from Anoka, Minnesota. Both contractors have performed work in the City of Mounds View in the past and are capable of performing the project as described to the Council. Attached is a copy of the quotation received from Ray Perron and Son in the amount of $4,258.00 plus $480.00 for dewatering if necessary. This would then total $4,738.00 as a not to exceed ram. number. The contract is based on the City obtaining the materials listed on the proposal form and that the labor and equipment would be a lump sum number. That number was arrived at after discussion on three occasions with the contractor as to the scope of work to be done and determining his "best price". A verbal quotation at time of preparation of this memo had been received from Dawson Construction, Inc. The material cost was estimated to be $2,042.00, the labor and equipment for two days was estimated to be $2,900.00, dewatering, if necessary, was estimated to be $800.00 and sod and asphalt restoration work was estimated to be $800.00 for a total of $6,542.00. Mr. Dawson indicated that he would propose to do the work based on time and materials and unit prices that would be confirmed in his written proposal. Based on the verbal quotation furnished by Mr. Dawson, he would have to reduce his costs by approximately $1,500.00 or approximately 10 hours of labor and equipment in order to become the low bidder for the proposed work. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends to the City Council that they authorize staff to execute a purchase order to Mr. Ray Perron for the proposed storm sewer improvement work on St. Stephen Street in the amount of $2,249.75 plus up to $480.00 at $60.00 per hour for dewatering work if necessary. Staff also requests the City Council to authorize staff to execute a purchase order for necessary materials for the project. Materials are estimated to cost $2,008.25.
