The bid openmg was held on Thursday, July 13, 2006 at 1:00 p.m. Nine
contractors purchased plans for the project, but only one contractor submitted a
bid. The bid amount was $226,673.90. The amount was significantly over the
engineer's estimate.

Staff has researched why only one contractor submitted a bid and why the bid
came in so high. The main reason staff received for the lack of bids and high
bId was that the directional boring subcontractors for the Longacres storm water
pond outlet pipe are currently busy with other projects and the subcontractors
could not meet the scheduling requirements.

RECOMMENDA TION
Web Site
www.ci.chanhassen.mn.us
Staff IS recommending rebiddmg the project later this summer and extendmg the
completion date to give the directional bore subcontractors more flexibIlity to
complete the project. Approval of this item requires a simple majority vote of
those CIty CouncIl members present.
