-364- BOL -TON 8g- M i N K, I N G_ Consulting Engineers & Surveyors NAU Building • 7333 Sunwood Drive • Ramsey, MN 55303 Phone (763) 433 -2851 • FAX (763) 427 -0833 Bids for the above referenced project were received on August 1, 2006. Two bids were received for the construction of Well No. 7 and Well No. 8. Bids were received from E.H. Renner & Sons and Traut Wells. We have worked with both contractors previously and are confident both are responsible bidders. The Engineers' Estimate for the project is $380,000 for Well No. 7, $350,000 for Well No. 8, with a total project estimate of $730,000. The low bid of $711,822.00 submitted by E.H. Renner & Sons is approximately 2:5% below the Engineers' Estimate. Traut Wells bid of $761,875.00 is within 7% of the low bid. The specifications and bid documents did not contain any wording or ambiguities so as to force the Contractor to build in additional contingencies. Therefore, we feel that the bids received were competitive and responsive and rebidding of the project would not provide any cost savings. We have worked with E.H. Renner & Sons on a number of wells during the past 7 years. We have worked with them in the past for the City of Ramsey, Minnesota and the projects had positive outcomes. All of the projects we have been involved in with E.H. Renner & Sons have been successfully completed in a timely and professional manner. E.H. Renner & Sons is experienced in the type of work required for this project and has fulfilled the bidding and contract requirements. Therefore, we recommend the bid from E. H. Renner & Sons be accepted. Respectfully submitted, BO EVALUATION OF BIDS FOR THE CITY OF RAMSEY, MINNESOTA MUNICIPAL WELL NO. 7 AND 8 K, INC. Paul Saffe , .E.
