Overview.
On May 2, 2006 City Council authorized preparation of final design documents for the
upgrade of the emergency power system at lift station no. 7. Staff initially advertised the
project for bids with a bid opening on July 26. We received just one bid in the amount of
$218,000. This bid was rejected as being too high - the final construction cost estimate
was $110,000. The project was re-advertised and a bid opening was held on Thursday,
Sept 14. This time there were four bids received with the low bidder being Premier
Electrical Corp. with a bid of $108,960. The second low bid was $131,450 and the high
bid was $163,600. Premier Electrical is a reputable contractor having completed many
lift station projects. Our consulting engineer, SEH, has worked with Premier on several
projects and has recommended award. Staff recommends award to Premier Electrical
Corporation.
Primary Issues to Consider.
Project scope: The project includes replacing the standby power engine-generator
set, associated wiring and automatic switchgear. The project also includes providing
an alternate standby power source in the event of power loss during construction.
Project Schedule: It is anticipated that the contractor will begin work in November
after receipt of the new equipment and complete the project by mid-December 2006.

Dear Mr. Stadler:
On September 14, 2006 at 10:00 a.m. bids were received for the above-referenced project. Four bids were
received. (Bid tabulation attached). All four bidders are good contractors. The low bidder, Premier Electric is
the largest of the four. SEH has just completed a two-year $20,000,000 water filtration and general offices
complex for the city of Eagan. Premier Electric was the electrical contractor on the project, and did an
excellent job. This bid received was within the Engineer's estimate of $110,000. Therefore, we recommend
that the City of Hopkins award the bid to Premier Electrical Corporation, Brooklyn Park, Minnesota. Thank
you.
Si~~,
