Case #9: Consider Ramsey Star Express Commuter Coach Service Moved up in the agenda to be acted on as Case No. lA. Case #10: Award Bids for Bunker Lake Boulevard Watermain Improvements Public Works Director Olson stated bids were opened on October 20,2006 for the Bunker Lake Boulevard Watermain Improvements Project. Sixteen quotes were received, all of which were below the engineer estimate of $361,000. The lowest bid submitted was by Sunblad Construction Inc. in the amount of $272,085.34. Unfortunately in discussions with the City Attorney it has been determined that Sunblad Construction did not acknowledge the receipt of Addendum No.1, which means they did not have the information that allowed them to provide a bid that was apples to apples to the other bidders. All of the remaining companies acknowledged the receipt of Addendum No.1, and all 16 of the addendums were sent in the same way. Since this receipt of the addendum was not received from Sunblad Construction, staff recommends awarding the bid for the Bunker Lake Boulevard Watermain Improvements to the second lowest bidder, Northwest Asphalt Inc. in the amount of $287,496.29. Motion by Councilmember Pearson, seconded by Councilmember Cook, to adopt Resolution #06-10-338 awarding the bid to Northwest Asphalt Inc. in the amount of $287,496.29 for the Bunker Lake Boulevard Watermain Improvements. Motion carried. V oting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Pearson, Cook, Elvig, Olson, and Strommen. Voting No: None. Absent: Councilmember Jeffrey.
