US SiteWork $35,963.00 Sunram Construction, Inc. $45,724.00 Engineer's Estimate $13, 085.75 Northland Excavating of Buffalo, Minnesota, submitted the lowest responsible total bid of $23,972.46 in accordance with the approved plans and specifications and advertisement for bids. This bid is $10,886.71 (83.2%) more than the engineer's estimate. Alternatives: Alternative 41: Motion to adopt Resolution 419-266 rejecting bids for Improvement Project 419-10, Hedgehog Street Drainage Improvements, and authorizing advertising for bids again next year. Alternative 42: Motion to deny adoption of Resolution 419-266 at this time. Funding Source: Project costs include 18% indirect costs for administrative (5%), engineering (12%), and legal (1%) costs. Attached is a proposal from Bolton & Menk for construction staking services in the not -to -exceed amount of $980. This cost would be included under indirect costs for engineering. Project costs would be $28,287.50 after adding indirect costs. Recommendation: Staff recommends alternative 41. Staff believes the bids received are all significantly higher than the engineer's estimate given the significant workload currently being experienced by grading contractors and recommend re -bidding the project late this winter or early next spring after bundling the work with several other drainage improvement projects currently under design. The expectation is that bid prices will be significantly lower, and that local grading contractors will also submit bids due to decreased workloads. Action: Motion to adopt Resolution 419-266 rejecting bids for Improvement Project 419-10, Hedgehog Street Drainage Improvements, and authorizing advertising for bids again next year.
