FROM: Tom Tabler, PE, Project Manager
CC: Susie Turner, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Sidewalk and Curbing Construction for the Year Ending December 31, 2019
MEETING: March 18, 2019
BACKGROUND: Each year the City of Kalispell solicits bids for an annual unit price contract to
replace concrete sidewalks and concrete curbing and gutters throughout the City. The unit price
bids provide for a contractual baseline for individual projects replacing sidewalks and curbing
within the City's 50/50 sidewalk replacement program. Bids were received and opened on March
7, 2019. Two local contractors submitted formal bids, Sandon Construction Company, Inc. and
Knife River, Inc.
A comparison of unit prices was made between this year's bids and last year's awarded unit prices.
Project costs are compared by computing typical project costs for the replacement of 330 feet of
sidewalk and curbing, equivalent to one side of a city block and 25 feet of sidewalk and curbing,
equivalent to'/z of a city lot. Based on this evaluation, Sandon Construction Company's bid prices
are the lowest bid price and have increased by approximately 2.06% from last year's contracted
unit prices.
Sandon Construction Company, Inc. has been awarded this unit price agreement in the past and
has been found to be a responsive and responsible contractor.
ACTION REQUESTED: Award the Sidewalk and Curbing Construction Project for the Year
Ending December 31, 2019 to Sandon Construction Company, Inc.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The project will be funded by the Gas Tax, Sidewalk and Curb Construction
(2420-421-43 0234-956).
