1. Claims asserted against the bidder by owners, subcontractors, supplier, or sureties in the last 15 years 2. Projects not completed within the required project schedule in the last 15 years 3. Names and contact information for clients of projects over $2,000,000 in the last 5 years, minimum two references According to the information provided all 3 contractors indicated that there had been no claims and only minor schedule issues. BKV then contacted the references provided for the 3 low bid contractors. From the information obtained all references contacted indicated that the contractors had done good quality work and would hire them again. The contractors started business in Minnesota as follows: • Brennan Construction - 1994 • Ebert Construction - 1968 • Rochon Corp - 1940 Based on the information obtained we would recommend that the City award a contract to Brennan Construction and issue a notice to proceed with a formal contract to follow. The schedule for the project is 330 calendar days from the issuance of the notice to proceed. If the NTP is issued on April 15, 2015 the substantial completion date would be March 9, 2016. We would suggest that the total project budget remain as previously presented to the City Council at $3,970,000.00. We are available and ready to continuing working with the City on this project and are looking forward to this being a success and asset to the Fire Department and the community. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of assistance or you have any questions.
