Revising the <br />feasibility estimate to include 142nd Avenue as a permanent street <br />increased the estimated construction cost to $434,320.00. Based on <br />the revised estimate the low bid received is approximately eleven <br />percent below the engineer's estimate. <br /> <br />The low bidder, Forest Lake Contracting, has satisfactorily completed <br />projects in the area. We, therefore, recommend that the project be <br />awarded to the low bidder for the bid amount of $385,513.00. Since <br />149th Avenue is a MSAS, the project award should be made contingent on <br />approval of the plans by MN/DOT. <br /> <br />civil · municipal · planning · soils · land surveying <br /> <br /> <br />
