MEMORANDUM
1 TO: Don Ashworth, City Manager •
- FROM: Charles Folch, City Engineer V
DATE: September 9, 1992
SUBJ: Award of Bids for West 86th Street Trunk Watermain
Project No. 90 -10
On Tuesday, September 8, 1992 at 2:00 p.m., bids were received and opened for the West
86th Street Trunk Watermain Extension City Project No. 90-10. A total of 8 bids were
received with the confirmed low bid being received from Machtemes Construction at a bid
' of $246,500.10. The engineer's estimate for the project was $256,885.00. Machtemes
Construction Company has performed satisfactorily on private development construction
projects within the City and on public improvement projects in other communities.
This project will require that permanent utility easements be acquired from three property
owners along the project. City staff is working with these property owners to negotiate the
easement acquisition and /or acquire, at a minimum, waivers of trespass to allow
construction to begin as soon as possible. The time constraints are such that either a delay
in the waiver of trespass /easement acquisition or award of bids may delay this project to the
1 1993 construction season. It is therefore recommended that the West 86th Street Trunk
Watermain Improvement Project No. 90-10 be awarded to Machtemes Construction
Company in the amount of $246,500.10.

Dear Mr. Folch:
Bids on the above referenced project were received and opened at Chanhassen City Hall
1 at 2:00 P.M on Tuesday, September 8, 1992. A total of eight (8) bids were received with
the following results:
1 CONTRACTOR, TOTAL BM
1. Machtemes Construction $246,500.10
2. Brown & Cris, Inc. $277,701.41
3. Kenko Contracting, Inc. $294,214.71
4. Ryan Contracting $297,164.12
I 5. Northdale Construction

6. G. L Contracting Inc. $307 943.20
7. Barbarossa & Sons $313,246.00
8. LaTour Construction $313,693.40
The low bid of $246,500.10 is about 4.0% lower than the Engineer's Estimate of
I $256,885.00 and about 23% lower than the Feasibility Study Construction Cost Estimate
of $252,300.00 for Alternative No. 2. A copy of the Bid tabulation is attached for your
information and review.
1 The low bidder on the project, Machtemes Construction'of Waconia, Minnesota
satisfactorily completed private development work with the City of Chanhassen in recent
I years but has not previously constructed a public improvement project within the City.
However, they have satisfactorily completed public improvement projects in other area
communities and we are unaware of any past performance record which would deem
I them incompetent to construct the project. Therefore, we would recommend the award
of this project to the low bidder, Machtemes Construction, in the amount of $246,500,10.
