Hakanson <br />Anderson <br />Assoc., Inc. <br /> <br />3601 Thurston Avenue <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br />612/427-5860 <br />Fax 612/427-3-40-1-- 0520 <br /> <br />July 21, 1997 <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor & City Council <br />City of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Award of City Project 97-18 <br /> Trunk Sanitary Sewer & Watermain Alpine Park Subdivision <br /> <br />Dear Mayor & City Council: <br /> <br />The City received and opened bids for Project 97-18 on Friday, July 18, 1997. A total <br />of nine bids were received as shown on the attached tabulation. The three Iow bids <br /> <br />and the engineer's estimate are attached as follows: <br /> Bidder Total Bid Price <br /> CW Houle, Inc. <br /> Arcon Construction Company <br /> Kadlec Excavation of Mora, Inc. <br /> Engineer's Estimate <br /> <br />$168,700.00 <br /> 195,256.85 <br /> 196,968.70 <br /> 142,180.00 <br /> <br />In comparing the Iow bid with the engineer's estimate, the Iow bid is approximately <br />19 percent higher than the engineer's estimate. The higher bid prices are due to unit <br />prices, which are dependent on today's bidding climate. In addition, the water level <br />in the wetland has recently increased, which resulted in additional dewatering costs. <br />The Iow bid is judged to accurately reflect current project costs. <br /> <br />CW Houle, Inc. is a Shoreview, Minnesota Contractor who has satisfactorily completed <br />a project in Ramsey. We, therefore, recommend that the project be awarded to CW <br />Houle, Inc. in the amount of $168,700. <br /> <br />Engineers Landscape Architects Surveyors <br /> <br /> <br />
