<br />Sealed bids were received at the Ramsey City Hall, 7550 Sunwood Drive NW, Ramsey, MN 55303 until 1:00 p.m.,
<br />Wednesday, August 26, 2020 at which time bids were publicly opened, reviewed, and read aloud. Bidders were
<br />also able to join the bid opening online. Staff is excited to report that there was great interest in the project in that a
<br />total of ninety (90) bids and quotes were received for the ten (10) bid and quote categories.
<br />Observations/Alternatives:
<br />The new PW facility consists of two components at this time,
<br />1. Main Structure
<br />2. Alternate # 1 for constructing future expansion today
<br />The reason the addition is being considered for construction at this time is, because of the need for large vehicle
<br />storage space. The addition is approximately 12,300 square feet in size. As designed, the main structure will be
<br />close to capacity in regard to large vehicle storage.
<br />With the anticipated growth in the next few years, the City will need to add several large vehicles to keep up with
<br />the demand for services. The original design included this space to accommodate this growth, but was scaled back
<br />for budgetary reasons. Staff feels the current bidding climate is conducive to adding this addition with the original
<br />construction of the new facility. If the addition is constructed now, savings will be realized in mobilization charges,
<br />material and labor costs. It's also estimated that to add the space in the future, the future project would include
<br />higher costs to re -certify the architectural plans, a probable increase in bonding rates, inflationary costs, changes in
<br />building code and a 6 month disruption of the Public Works Facility due to construction.
<br />After the bids were tabulated, the base bid for Bid Pack # 1 came in at $896,499.00 below the original estimate
<br />while the bids for Alternate #1 came in at $27,563.00 above the original estimate.
