RE: Tabulation of Bids
Audubon Road/McGlynn Road Improvements
Project No . 88-20B
Honorable Mayor and City Council Members : '
Enclosed is a tabulations of the bids received March 9,
1989 , for the above named project . A total of fifteen bids were
received , ranging from a low bid of $523 , 332 . 55 to a high bid of
$601 , 146 . 15 .
The low bid was submitted by Imperial Developers , Inc. , of
Bloomington , Minnesota. Imperial Developers is the contractor
for the Kerber Boulevard project for the City of Chanhassen , and
also the contractor for the McGlynn Bakery site improvements . We
have experience with this contractor on other projects and have
found them to perform satisfactory work and able to complete
projects in a timely fashion . There is no reason to reject their
bid based on past performance. '
The engineer ' s estimate for this project was $670 , 000 . 00.
The low bid is $146, 668 . 00 below the estimate . In analyzing the
bid we find that extremely low prices were bid for bituminous ,
rock base , and curb and gutter construction . We feel these
prices were low due to the extent of the same type of work to be
performed on the McGlynn site itself . In addition , it seems
prices are even more competitive this year than last . We had
forty plan holders on this project and received fifteen bids
which indicates a shortage of work being bid this early in the '
Lill 'IF P"ii"ii,ASSE9
year .
