Kuechle Underground, Inc. $570,230.72 North Pine Aggregate, Inc. $650,790.80 New Look Contracting, Inc. $755,286.00 Peterson Companies $861,423.55 Engineers Estimate $469,372.50 Of the six bids received, the lowest responsible bid was submitted by Douglas Kerr Underground, LLC in the amount of $544,925.55. If a contract for construction is authorized, staff will immediately contact Douglas Kerr Underground to notify them that they were awarded the contract and to initiate execution of the contract and issuance of the required bonds and insurance. Notification: Notifications are not required for this case as the property owner, Village Bank, is petitioning the City to construct the improvements and assess the costs back to them, and is waiving their rights to petition against the assessments. Observations/Alternatives: Observations: The lowest bid received was about 15% higher than the engineer's estimate. This, among other reasons, prompted Village Bank to request additional funding from the City of Anoka. Since the City of Anoka approved the banks request, Village Bank believes the Ridgepoint project is viable and therefore wishes to complete construction in 2015. Douglas Kerr Underground has indicated they can complete construction in 2015. Alternatives: Alternative #1 — Motion to adopt Resolution #15-08-194 accepting bids and awarding a contract for constructing the Ridgepoint development improvements, Improvement Project #15-21. Alternative #2 — Motion to deny adoption of Resolution #15-08-194 at this time. Funding Source: The lowest responsible bid from Douglas Kerr Underground, LLC is $544,925.55. The City will initially fund the improvements using the Public Improvement Revolving Fund, then Village Bank will pay the City back in full over a period of three years via the approved Assessment Agreement. And per the amended Joint Powers Agreement, the City of Anoka will reimburse the City of Ramsey up to $130,000 for construction of the public utilities. Recommendation: If the City Council previously approved the amended Joint Powers Agreement with the City of Anoka and the Assessment Agreement with Village Bank, Staff recommends approving Alternative #1. Action: Approve or deny adoption of Resolution #15-08-194 accepting bids and awarding a contract for constructing the Ridgepoint residential development improvements.
