Hakanson <br />Anderson <br />Assoc.. Inc. <br /> <br />Lnginee[s, Surveyors & <br />Landscape Architects <br /> <br />October 21, 1991 <br /> <br />Mr. Steve Jankowski <br />city Engineer <br />city of Ramsey <br />15153 Nowthen Blvd. NW <br />Ramsey, MN 55303 <br /> <br />Re: <br /> <br />Project 91-01 Trunk Sewer & Water <br />Comments on Bids, Review of Schedules <br /> <br />Dear Steve: <br /> <br />Part A - Bids & Award: <br /> <br />The Advertisement for Bids attracted 12 responses with bidders <br />including the majority of the larger sewer and water contractors in <br />the area. The bids are deemed very good, likely reflective of the <br />recent economy and the project being winter work in an otherwise <br />slack time. The prices appear to be a result of very competitive <br />bidding. <br /> <br />An alternative was included to delete the trunk watermain across <br />wetland l14P. As anticipated, the deductions was not very much. <br />The $30,000 deduct represents little more than the cost of <br />materials for the 1670 feet of 12 inch watermain. In essence, the <br />installation of this trunk water main connection is being almost <br />incidental to the sanitary sewer excavation and work. We strongly <br />recommend the award to include construction of this watermain. <br />This east to west trunk watermain is a critical system component to <br />interconnect and loop the trunk water mains from the Nowthen <br />Boulevard areas to the trunk watermains in the Sunfish Lake <br />Boulevard and County 116 area. This interconnect is vital to <br />system operations to properly distribute flow and pressure. <br />Construction now is very inexpensive. Construction later will <br />likely cost several times the current expenditure. <br /> <br />Part B - Project Schedulinq: <br /> <br />This trunk project is part one of a three part contracting process <br />that is in a fast track design and bid process to meet development <br />schedules. Part two consists of the sewers and watermain located <br />within the four plats west of wetland l14P. This work is currently <br />being bid for likely award in late November. The final part is the <br />street construction which will be bid for early spring 1992 award. <br /> <br /> 222 Monroe Street <br /> Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br /> 612/427-5860 <br /> Fax 612/427-3401 <br /> <br /> <br />
