RE: MAIN STREET LEFT TURN LANE EXTENSION
Dear Council Members:
As directed previously, we have prepared plans and received quotes for the extension of the left
turn lane on Main Street for the northbound movement onto old CSAH 13. There were a total of
three quotes received. The following list provides the name of the bidder and the total bid:
Northwest Asphalt, Inc.
Bauerly Companies
North Valley, Inc.
$26,827.OO
$29,319.00
$32,745.75
All three of these companies have previously successfully completed projects in the City of Elk
River. We had previously estimated the construction cost to be about $25,000.00. Northwest
Asphalt is slightly over this estimate at $26,827.00. If the City Council is reasonably certain that
the connection of old CSAH 13 at the north end to Tyler Street will remain intact for some period
of time, we would recommend proceeding with the extension of this left turn lane and would
recommend award of this contract to Northwest Asphalt, Inc., in the amount of $26,827.00.
Attached is a resolution for the City Council's consideration which awards the bid to Northwest
Asphalt.
If you have any questions regarding this project, I will be in attendance at your April 15, 2002,
City Council meeting.
Sincerely,
Howard R. Green Company
