SUBJ: Award of Bids for Improvements to 79th Street East of
Trunk Highway 101
Project No. 91-8
At the June 10, 1991 City Council meeting it was recommended to •
' table the award of bids for the 79th Street improvement project,
which is directly associated with the Valvoline Rapid Oil
development and overall Gateway First Addition, due to some
outstanding development commitments that had not yet been met. I
1 have recently conferred with Jean Meuwissen, City Treasurer, who
informed me that the necessary development security in the form
of a cash escrow has been provided by Valvoline Rapid Oil .
The other outstanding issue involved acquiring some needed
easements . It is my understanding from Todd Gerhardt, Assistant
' City Manager, that the preparation of these easement documents is
currently in progress .
In an effort to maintain a project time schedule that is
1 compatible with the Valvoline Rapid Oil development, it is
therefore recommended that the 79th Street east of Trunk Highway
101 Improvement Project No. 91-8 contract be awarded to the low
bidder, Midwest Asphalt Corporation, in the amount of $59,018.05 .

SUBJ: Award of Bids for Improvements to 79th Street East of r
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. Tao 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
' indicated in his letter of recommendation, 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
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.
Under normal circumstances I would concur with the project engineer's
recarmendation to award the bid for the West 79th Street Improvement Project No.
' 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 from the
I 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 camiitments.

Dear Charles: '
On Tuesday June 4, 1991, bids were opened on subject project and a
tabulation of the csults 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. _ •
