Item Description
181 st Avenue Watermain Extension - Bid Award
Item Number
5.5.
Introduction
The 181 st Avenue (CSAH 12) watermain extension is an Elk River Municipal Utilities
improvement to loop watermain from the existing Kliever Lake Fields area to the new watermain
being put in with the CR 40 Improvement. The project is being coordinated through the City of
Elk River for funding purposes.
Discussion
Plans were prepared under the direction of Bryan Adams, General Manager of Elk River
Municipal Utilities. The project was bid on Wednesday, September 13, 2006. There were a total
of 6 bidders. Attached is a bid tabulation. The following table shows the 6 bidders and their total
bid:
Bid Amount
$256,034.17
$257,975.50
$258,730.00
an $294,545.00
$305,134.82
$323,354.00
The engineer's estimate for the construction was $235,000. The low bid is approximately 9
percent over the engineer's estimate. Since this bid is for directional boring of the watermain
pipe, we do not have direct experience with the low bidder of Ellingson Drainage, Inc. We have
received a list of references and have verified that they have successfully completed similar type
projects in other communities. Bryan Adams has been made aware of the bid results and concurs
with awarding the contract to Ellingson Drainage, Inc. Therefore, we would recommend the City
Council award the bid for the 181st Avenue Watermain Extension Project to Ellingson Drainage,
Inc. in the amount of $256,034.17.
Financial Impact
The City will be funding this improvement and recovering their investment through future trunk
assessments.
