WSB <br />& Associates Inc. <br />Infrastructure I Engineering I Planning I Construction <br />October 3, 2006 <br />Honorable Mayor, City Council, and City Staff <br />City of St. Anthony Village <br />3 3 01 Silver Lake Road N.E. <br />St. Anthony Village, MN 55418 <br />Re: Foss Road Lift Station, Utility Improvement, and Appurtenant Work <br />City of St. Anthony Village <br />WSB Project No. 1626-13 <br />Dear Mayor, Council Members and City Staff: <br />701 Xenia Avenue South <br />Suite 300 <br />Minneapolis, MN 55416 <br />Tel: 763-541-4800 <br />Fax: 763-541-1700 <br />Bids were received for the above -referenced project on September 27, 2006, and were opened and read aloud. <br />A total of three (3) bids were received for the project. The bids were checked for mathematical accuracy and <br />tabulated. Please find enclosed the bid summary and tabulation. <br />The engineer's estimate for the base bid was $899,200. The low base bid for the project was $1,099,848, <br />which is approximately $200,000 more than the engineer's estimate. Based on the small number of bidders <br />and high bid prices for the project, we recommend that the City Council reject all bids for the Foss Road Lift <br />Station and Utility Improvements. Attached for your consideration is Resolution 06-075A rejecting all bids <br />for the Foss Road Lift Station and Utility Improvement Project. <br />Based on the bid prices received, we recommend adding the lift station plans and specifications to the 2007 <br />Street Reconstruction Project. We believe this will generate an increased number of contractors interested in <br />the project. We also recommend eliminating the alternate bids (Control Shelter and Generator and Control <br />Building) to eliminate the high costs. <br />Attached for your consideration is Resolutions 06-075B ordering plans, specifications and advertisement for <br />bid for the Foss Road Lift Station and Forcemain Improvements. These plans will be incorporated into the <br />2007 Street Reconstruction Project. <br />Sincerely, <br />WSB &Associates, Inc <br />Todd E.
