Council Agenda Item \[06\]
MEETING DATE: July 15, 2019
AGENDA ITEM: Engineer Reports
a. Bid Tabulation
SUBMITTED BY: Engineering
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: The City accepted bids on July 10, 2019 for the 2019 Street Improvement
Project and conducted the Final Assessment Hearing. With only three contentions at the hearing the Council
adopted the final assessment hearing.
The largest cost deltas between the final engineer's opinion of cost and the low bid to be generally in 4 areas of
work, and for a total of about $228,443:
1) Milling/bituminous pavement - items 23, 27, 28 sum difference of $105,214
2) Concrete flatwork - items 61, 62, 66, 67 sum difference of $38,665
3) Jacked steel casing pipe - item 51 difference of $30,720
4) Pavement markings/striping - items 80, 82 sum difference $53,844
Of the four cost difference areas, and based on all the bids, I could accept that our estimate was simply low for the
small amount of casing construction in the project. I plan to reach out to Knife River to further question some of
their pricing. If so inclined, the City could consider deleting the pavement markings (group 4 above) from the
contract and soliciting separate quotes for the work. Knife River's pricing is materially higher than the other bidders,
and I don't have a good explanation for "why?"
