Primary Issu s to Consider
o Should the award be made to Widmer, Inc?
Widmer, Inc. is a qualified bidder with equipment and manpower to
complete the project on schedule. In past projects the City had a
positive relationship with this firm on the 6th Avenue storm Sewer
Project.
o Is the bid reasonable?
The bid is approximately $1400 higher than the engineer's estimate.
It is staff's opinion that the bid is competitive. In light of that
and the fact that no assessment appeals have been filed in district
court, staff recommends award of contract should be made.
o When can construction begin?
Construction can begin as early as June 8.
