Primary Issues to Consider
Q Were there an adequate number of bids received?
The project was advertised in the Construction Bulletin and the Hopkins Sailor. Eighteen sets of
plans were distributed. Eleven bids were received for the project. The average bid was $67,100
and the low bid received was $54,207. The second low bid was $56,525. The low bid received
. appears to be favorable and representative of current bidding climate.
Q Is the apparent low bidder qualified?
The apparent low bidder, Gen-Com, has done similar and much larger projects for other cities.
Annandale, Minneapolis and Richfield have completed or recently awarded Gen-Com projects.
Staff will recommend award to Gen-Com.
Q What is the timing of the proposed installation?
If award of bid is authorized, the installation of the stage should be complete by the start of the
Music In The Park series, which begins on July 10, 2003. The stage has been ordered and
delivery is anticipated by April 15th.
Q What can staff do to keep costs down on the project?
Work to be completed in-house includes tree removal, shrub and concrete removals, minor
storm sewer adjustment, a keystone retaining wall, landscape improvements and sod
restoration. City crews will also be installing the roof structure, saving the alternate bid amount
of over $8,100.

electrical main panel in the concession room to accommodate the lights. The League will be
requesting that the City loan $30,000 to them. They plan to pay it off in four years. Residents have
been notified. Two negative responses have been received.
