Liquor Store
Attached for your review is a list of the sixteen bid packages (plus three
subcontracts) the City Council awarded which shows which firms are union
and which are nonunion. Councilmembers may or may not have received
calls from union business agents and representatives indicating their
displeasure with the city in that the entire project was not a union project.
The Council can expect union representatives to be at this City Council
meeting to express their unhappiness with the city. Please note that the bid
award recommendation for Package #7 - Windows and Store Front - is to a
union firm.
Construction Manager Mike Parsons of Greystone has advised me that if the
ten contracts that were awarded to nonunion firms were actually awarded to
the lowest responsible union firm bid, then the project would have been
$43,000 higher. This $43,000 additional cost would have added 5 percent to
the liquor store project.
The city has always awarded building contracts based on the low responsible
bidder without regard to union representation. This was the case with the
City Hall, Fire Hall expansion, Library expansion, Ice Arena, and Liquor
Store. One item of note is that the Ice Arena project required a prevailing
wage clause as the city received state funds for this project. The City Hall
project was awarded to Bor Son as the General Contractor and Bor Son is a
union firm. The City Hall project was picketed and two gates were
established toward the end of the project. Additionally, Shaw, the major
contractor in the Ice Arena project was also a union operation. As far as I
know, the city has never authorized a construction project to be bid out only
to union firms.

SUBJECT: Liquor Store Bid -Windows and Store
Front
Attached for your review is some material from Greystone Construction
Company regarding the awarding of the rebid of Package #7 - Store Front
and Windows - for the Liquor Store. Also attached is a schedule for the
project and an updated bid versus budget status report. It should be noted
that the bonds for this project that are being issued by the local banks are
being revised to reflect this lower bid amount (versus the original budget).
The city will be asking the banks to finance approximately $1.25 million.
Additionally the city is paying $150,000 for this project with cash on hand.
The amount of the bonds is higher than the project bid amount to cover the
furniture, fixture, and equipment items (the largest of which is the cooler),
soft costs for the architectural and construction manager fees, financial
charges, plus miscellaneous fees such as SAC, survey costs, soil testing, etc.
Staff concurs with the recommended action as listed in the Greystone
Construction memo.
Recommended Action
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion awarding the
Store Front and Window (Bid Package #7) contract to Gateway AGC, Inc., St.
Paul, Minnesota, in the amount of $44,080.

Recommendation -- award of bid package #7
Based on City Council action taken April 7th, the aluminum storefront & window design was revised
slightly. The rebid was advertised locally and in Metro area plan services. Rebids were received and
publicly opened on May 8th at City Hall.
Aluminum storefront & window design revisions
With input from City staff, architect Tushie Montgomery and Greystone Construction representatives,
the following changes to plans and specifications were incorporated:
· Aluminum was revised from a custom color to a standard dark anodized aluminum finish.
· Certain clerestory window frame material was revised in width & one horizontal framing member
was eliminated at the clerestory end windows.
· Automatic entrances -- the number of emergency breakaway sections was reduced, while
maintaining the Code required exit quantity.
· Automatic entrances -- a list of additional acceptable manufactureres was provided.
· Glass -- certain glass was revised from tempered glass to standard glass where allowed by Code.
· Glass -- exterior glass was revised from clear glass to timed glass with a low emissivity coating.
The glass revision is designed to reduce glare at the checkout counters and improve energy
consideration related to Winter heat loss and Summer heat gain.
· Window and storefront sizes remain unchanged.
Bid results
· The original low bid received March 18th for storefront & windows was $62,531.
· The budget for storefront & window work is $37,316.
· The bids results for the REBID of bid package #7 are attached. The low responsible bidder is
Gateway AGC, Inc., with a bid of $44,080. This bid includes the alternate for low-e glass option.
The finn has a solid, enduring reputation in the area. The bid is a good price for the work.
· The revised bid from Gateway AOC Inc. provides a savings to the City of ($18,451)
Reconimended Action
It is recommended that the City Council approve a motion awarding the aluminum storefront and
window (bid package #7) contract to Gateway AGC Inc. of St Paul, Minnesota.
