RE: COUNTY ROAD 12/13 STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
Dear Council Members:
We have tabulated the bids opened on Wednesday, May 25th, 1994 at 10:00 a.m. for the
County Road 12/13 storm drainage improvements. There were a total of eight (8) bids
received. The following table lists each of the bidders and their total bid:
Dave Perkins Contracting, Inc.
R.L. Larson Excavating, Inc.
Progressive Contracting, Inc.
Northdale Construction, Inc.
$339,590.00
$346,470.81
$368,257.60
$372,221.50
$381,477.67
$394,745.65
$431,092.00
$459,702.35
Arcon Construction, Inc.
LaTour Construction, Inc.
W.B. Miller, Inc.
Kadlec Excavating, Inc.
As you recall, the preliminary estimates for this work were approximately $400,000.
The low bid from Dave Perkins Contracting is approximately 15 % below this amount.
We have not previously worked with Dave Perkins Contracting, therefore we have
checked references; we have received positive responses from the communities of
Brooklyn Park, Maple Grove, and Minnetonka where they have previously completed
similar type projects. Based on these references and the low bid amount of $339,590.00,
we would recommend award to Dave Perkins Contracting as the lowest responsible
bidder. Attached is a draft resolution for the City Council's consideration that authorizes
the award and execution of a contract with Dave Perkins Contracting.

It should be noted that we need to acquire four easements from the property owners
affected by this construction. We have previously received signed letters from each of
the four property owners indicating their willingness to give the easement. Depending
on the Contractor's schedule it may be necessary to have each property owner sign a
waiver of trespass in the interim until the legal easement documents are ready for
execution and filing.
If you have any questions regarding this information, I will be in attendance at your
meeting on June 6, 1994.
Sincerely,
MSA, CONSULTING ENGINEERS
