The project was formally bid, with three bids <br />received. The three bids ranged from $1,763,000 to $2,096,000, compared <br />to the consultant engineer's estimate of $1,000,000. With the construction <br />market dictating higher than anticipated construction costs, staff is <br />recommending rejection of all bids for the project, in order to combine the <br />subject project with the future S-6 Sewer Pump Station rehabilitation project <br />as a single construction contract. By combining these two projects, it is <br />anticipated that economies of scale can be realized, reducing the overall <br />costs of both projects. <br /> <br />Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br /> <br />Sealed bids for this project were opened on October 10, 2006. There were a total of three bids <br />received, ranging from $1,753,000 to $2,096,000, as compared to the consultant engineer's <br />estimate of $1,000,000. The remaining budget is $1,120,000 and the estimated project shortfall <br /> <br />< <br /> <br />SR 06:255 <br />Page 1 of2 <br />
