Foregoing a public hearing, Council ordered a public improvement
and authorized bids to be taken. Bids were opened August 26,
1992. Three bids were received and are tabulated below. The low
bidder is Gunderson Brothers Cement Company.

. Staff recommendation
Staff has checked the bids and finds no irregularities.
Gunderson Brothers Cement Company is a qualified bidder with
the equipment and manpower to complete the project.
Bid documents were composed of base bid and alternate bid
items. The base bid items dealt with removal and replacement
of concrete sidewalk and driveway panels. Alternate items
dealt with bituminous patching, grinding of raised panels,
caulking, andconrete patching. Staff elected not to accept
. the alternate bid on panel grinding because the potential
savings using this method were less than $1500. Staff is not
completely comfortable with quality assurances or aesthetics
with the grinding method and would rather experiment with the
process on City facility sidewalks for a one-year period.
Staff recommends those 1992 residential sidewalk panels
earmarked for grinding be repaired by the replacement method.
Staff recommends award of bid to Gunderson Brothers Cement
Company.
· Construction timetable
Work can commence on or about September 8 and the project is
slated for October 9 completion.
