SUBJ: Award of Bids for Improvements to 79th Street East of
4 ,
Trunk Highway 101 - Project No. 91-8
On Tuesday, June 4, 1991 bids were opened for the proposed West 79th Street
Improvement Project No. 91-8. TWo bids were received with the low bid submitted
by Midwest Asphalt Corporation at $59,018.05. The low bid is approximately two
percent lower than the revised engineer's estimate for the project.
As the project engineer, Scott Harri of Van Doren Hazard Stallings, has
1 indicated in his letter of recannendation, the current project bidding climate
is extremely unpredictable as compared to the recent past. This has resulted in
fewer numbers of contractors submitting bids on projects and overall higher unit
I prices. Recent weather conditions also may have affected the number of
available contractors interested in this project.
Even though only two bids were received, the low bid is a fair bid relative to
' the work involved and has been submitted by a reputable contractor who has
performed satisfactorily on previous projects within the City of Chanhanssen and
metro area.
IIUnder normal circumstances I would concur with the project engineer's
recannendation to award the bid for the West 79th Street Improvement Project No.
I 91-8 to Midwest Asphalt Corporation of Eden Prairie, Minnesota. However, this
improvement project is directly associated with the Valvoline Rapid Oil and
Gateway Addition development. The City has a fully executed development
contract but has yet to receive a letter of credit and needed easements fran the
1 developer. Therefore, I would recommend that the awarding of this bid be tabled
to the June 24, 1991 meeting to allow more time for the developer to fulfill
these cannitments.

' Dear Charles:
On Tuesday June 4, 1991, bids were opened on subject project and a
' tabulation of the results is enclosed. Two bids were submitted for
the work with the low bid of $59,018.05 and the other bid of
$71, 161.50. The Engineers Estimate for the work was $60,255.00.
The low bid represents a good bid for the City. The current
bidding climate is volatile and the trend is toward higher unit
prices with fewer contractors taking out plans and submitting bids.
The extended wet weather conditions coupled with cheap bids at the
' beginning of the construction season are factors contributing to
the present situation.
' The low bid was received from Midwest Asphalt Corporation of Eden
Prairie, Minnesota. Midwest has been in business for 23 years with
their main focus on bituminous material production and paving.
' They operate 3 production plants around the metro area along with
one of the largest recycling operations. Their projects range in
size from $5,000 and up with an average size of around $250,000.
' Midwest has recently been involved in the Market Boulevard street
construction and Lake Susan Hills roadways in the City of
Chanhassen. Other recent projects include Cedar Avenue paving at
' I-494 for Lunda Construction and Mn/DOT and pavement reconstruction
for Edina and Minnetonka schools. Our reference checking has
revealed the work was satisfactorily completed in a timely manner.
' We therefore recommend award of bid to Midwest Asphalt Corporation
in the amount of $59,018.05. We will be available to discuss this
matter at your convenience.
' Sincerely,
VAN DOREN-HAZARD-STALLINGS, INC.
