RE:
DOWNTOWN SIDEWALK IMPROVEMENTS
CONSTRUCTION BIDS
Dear Council Members:
We have tabulated the bid results for the Downtown Sidewalk Improvements. The bids were
opened Thursday, April 12, 2001, at 10:00 a.m. There were a total of three bidders. The
following table provides a summary of the bidders and their total bids:
Schmidt Curb Co., Inc.
Glacial Ridge, Inc.
Environmental Assoc., Inc.
$209,943.80
224,490.50
240,744.00
The Iow bid, submitted by Schmidt Curb Co., Inc., is approximately 20% below the estimated
construction cost contained in the feasibility study prepared in February 2001. It should be
noted, however, that this is a unit cost bid and some units, such as concrete curb and gutter
replacement, may over-run the bid amount, causing the final cost to be slightly higher.
Schmidt Curb Co., Inc. has previously successfully completed projects within the City of Elk
River. Therefore, we would recommend award to them as the lowest responsible bidder, in the
amount of $209,943.80. Attached is a resolution for the City Council's consideration which
awards the contract to Schmidt Curb Co., Inc.
If you have any questions regarding this project, I will be in attendance at next Monday's City
Council meeting.
Sincerely,
Howard R, Green Company
Terry J. Maurer, P.E.
