BID AWARD
1996 BITUMINOUS SEAL COAT PROJECT
Council Report 96 -89
Proposed Action.
Staff recommends the following motion: Move that Council award the
contract for the 1996 Bituminous Seal Coat Proiect to Caldwell Asphalt
Co.. Inc.
The bid opening for the 1996 project was held at City Hall on May 2,
1996.
Primary Issues to Consider.
• Bid tabulation and recommendation
Bidder Total Bid
Caldwell Asphalt Company $26,746.17
Allied Blacktop $28,763.17
Bituminous Roadways $30,288.11
ASTECH Corp. $43,859.05
Engineer's Estimate $36,540.13
All bids were submitted with required bid security and made by qualified
contractors. The low bidder, Caldwell Asphalt Company has not performed
0 seal coating for the City in the past. Staff has contacted references
given by Caldwell, specifically the City of Minnetonka and MN /DOT
officials, and has learned that Caldwell has performed quite
satisfactorily. They have been cited as knowledgeable, skilled and
outfitted with modern equipment. Staff recommends award of bid to
Caldwell Asphalt Company, Inc. of Hawick, Minnesota.
Staff budgeted $40,000 towards the 1996 seal coat project. Obviously the
City will realize some savings in regard to the low bid. Staff
anticipates applying the savings towards repair of an alley in the 100
block between 7th /8th Avenues North.
The 1996 project includes the Interlachen Park neighborhood streets,
Municipal Parking Lot 300 (adjacent to clock tower), and a small area
between Norwest Bank and the parking ramp. Work is slated for the week
of July 22 -26.
