Dear Charles:
Enclosed is the Tabulation of Bids for subject project. Five bids II
were received on September 17, 1991 and ranged from a low bid of
$69,442.50 to a high of $107,111.35. The estimate for the work is
$75,294.20. The low bid is 10% below the estimate and represents II
a good bid for the City. __ _._..
The low bidder is S.M. Hentges & Sons, Inc. of Shakopee, Minnesota.
They have been in business for 15 years and have averaged five II
million dollars per year in construction contracts the past three
years. Their main business practice is sewer and watermain pipe
construction and grading. Street paving, concrete curb and gutter I
and restoration are handled through subcontractors. This project
is a good match for them.
Our reference checking has revealed that S.M. Hentges work is found I
to be satisfactory and that they have the proper equipment to
complete this project. Hentges constructed the Lake Lucy Road
watermain project a few years ago in Chanhassen. The work on that I
project was completed satisfactorily. In' addition, we have been
informed that Hentges has occasionally been slow to clean-up
projects and inefficient in coordinating their subcontractors.
These are problems common to most contractors and we do not feel
that is a reason not to award them the contract. Hentges is
prepared to begin the project immediately following award.
Based upon our findings, we recommend the City of Chanhassen award I
P g Y
the bid to S.M. Hentges & Sons, Inc. in the amount of $69,442.50.
Sincerely, 1
VAN DOREN-HAZARD-STALLINGS, INC.
