WILLOW DRIVE STREET RECONSTRUCTION – BID AWARD <br /> <br />Struve noted at the January 14, 2013, City Council meeting, the Council approved a proposal from Bolton <br />& Menk for design services associated with the reconstruction of Willow Drive North between Kelley <br />Parkway and County Road 6, which is on the City’s Municipal State Aid system. <br /> <br />At the January 28, 2013, meeting, Bolton and Menk asked for direction from the Council for a few design <br />options and the Council approved the preliminary design at the March 11th meeting. Bids were received <br />on the plans and the low bidder was C.S. McCrossan. Bolton and Menk has submitted a proposal to <br />provide construction phase services for the Willow Drive Street Reconstruction project. <br /> <br />Staff would recommend awarding this project to C.S. McCrossan in the amount of $803,995.90. <br /> <br />Levang asked why there was a 20 percent difference in the bids. <br /> <br />Struve indicated it is difficult to estimate projects since some of it is done based on last year’s projects <br />and projecting out. <br /> <br />Levang asked if there were one or two items that consisted of that difference. <br /> <br />Struve indicated the cost of the asphalt was lower than anticipated and was the major item. <br /> <br />Bremer commented the bids were somewhat spread out as well and noted one bid was close to the <br />estimate. <br /> <br />McMillan asked if Staff is comfortable with this contractor. <br /> <br />Item #02 - CC Agenda - 05/28/2013 <br />Approval of Council Minutes 05/13/2013 <br />[Page 20 of 26]
