Re: 1 la' Street West Sanitary Sewer Reconstruction Project
Date: June 1, 2020
BACKGROUND: The City of Kalispell has received sealed unit price bids for the 1 l th Street W Sanitary
Sewer Replacement Project. The project includes furnishing labor, materials and equipment required to
replace deteriorated sewer main with approximately 730 linear feet of new fifteen (15) inch SDR 35 PVC
sewer main.
Bids were received on Thursday May 26, 2020 at 4:00 PM. One responsive bid was received from a local
contractor:
Contractor:
LHC, Inc.
Engineer's Estimate
Total Bid Price
$595,654.40
$471,055.00
The contractor's cost to complete the project exceeds the engineers cost estimate of $471,055.00 by
$124,649.40. The contractor's bid includes some uncertainty (costs) in response to the bypass pumping
specification and the completion timeline. Considering the submittal of one bid, which is over the engineers
estimate, Public Works recommends re -bidding the project with updated by-pass pumping specifications,
and a lengthened construction schedule, in an effort to potentially receive more competitive bid prices.
REQUESTED ACTION: Motion to reject bids received for the IIth Street West Sanitary Sewer
Reconstruction Project.
FISCAL EFFECTS: None at this time. The total project construction cost will be funded by the Sewer
Project, Replacement, and Repair Fund (5310-454-430630-948), which has a current balance of
$599,430.40.
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
