City Council Minutes — August 8, 2016 Page 3 14
A. Consideration of adopting Resolution 2016-057 accepting bids and awarding
contract for the TH 25/7Ih Street intersection improvements, City Project No.
15C004.
Shibani Bisson, WSB/City Engineer, gave a brief presentation on the project and the bid
results. Two bids were received and the low bid was approximately $224,476 higher than
the engineer's estimate. Ms. Bisson commented that if the project is rebid for a 2017
project there will most likely be more bids and would save the City approximately
$100,000. Because of the complexity of the project, she noted that the engineer's
estimate was probably low. She also noted the MnDOT will concur with either decision
by the City.
Charlotte Gabler moved to reject all bids and rebid the project for 2017
construction. Tom Perrault seconded the motion. Motion carried unanimously.
By consensus the meeting was adjourned at 7:18 p.m.
