Resolution 06-067A; IRejecting the Bid for the Foss Road Lift Station_ 18 19 Mr. Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, Inc., reported on the Foss Road Lift Station and Utility 20 Improvement project bids. Mr. Hubmer reported receiving four (4) bids for the Lift Station 21 Improvement project and two (2) bids for the Utility project. 22 23 Mr. Hubmer informed the Council the engineer's estimate for the Foss Lift Station. was 24 $600,000; however, the low bid was $848,500, approximately $250,000 more than the engineer's 25 estimate. Mr. Hubmer then stated the engineer's estimate for the Utility Improvement Project 26 was approximately $906,000 and the low bid received was $1,343,649; approximately $440,000 27 over the engineer's bid. Mr. Hubmer reported six contractors stated they were too busy to 28 submit a bid or it did not fit into their current work program and some did not want to bid 29 because it included a building be constructed over the lift station. 30 31 Mr. Hubmer recommended, based on the small number of bids received and the high bid prices 32 received, City Council reject all bids for the Foss Lift Station and Utility Improvements projects. 33 He recommended revising the bid package to provide a building alternate that includes the 34 options of a building added to the lift station, no building and the third option of j ust some cover 35- in the location of the lift station. 36 37 Mr. Hubmer suggested a better approach and value for the City would be, due to pricing on the 38 pipe bursting and the underground tunneling work, to open the streets, replace it from curb to 39 curb and put in a new water main and sanitary sewer. He stated this could be done for the same 40' price as the pipe bursting technology estimate. Mr. Hubmer believes this is a prudent choice 41 given the condition of the roads. 42 43 Councilmember Thuesen asked if rejected, what time line does the Council have before it needs 44 to deal with this. 45
