HOPKINS PAVILION RESTROOM
RENOVATIONS BID AWARD
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: "Move that Council
award the contract for restroom renovations for the Hopkins Pavilion to
Rutledge Construction Co. in the amount of $15,842.00."
At the May 6, 1997 City Council meeting, Resolution No. 97 -43 was adopted
requesting funding from the MN Amateur Sports Commission for capital funds
to help renovate the Pavilion restrooms, bleacher steps and to add
automatic door openers. This request for grant funding was subsequently
awarded in the amount of $16,000 on a 50/50 cost sharing basis.
Specifications have been prepared, the project publicly bid and bids opened
on September 17, 1997. Bid results were as follows:
BIDDER TOTAL BID
$15,842.00
$18,200.00
$28,950.00
Council Report: 97 -166
The amount estimated for this portion of the work was $23,500. The bid of
Rutledge Construction was $7,700 below the estimate.
Primary Issues to Consider
o Are city funds available for the city portion of this project?
The total bid of $15,842 is to be split 50/50 with the Mighty Duck
Grant money. This requires $7,921 to be supplied by local dollars.
The vendor for soft drinks in the Pavilion gave $8,000 earlier this
year in order to renew the lease agreement with Coca -cola. This money
was to be used for Pavilion improvements. The favorable bids received
for this project means that no city budget dollars will be used for
this improvement.
o Is Rutledge Construction a qualified bidder?
Rutledge Construction is a local firm with a long history of
completing projects of this nature. The firm has good references and
experience with the type of work. The bid was submitted with the
required bid security.
