Re: Wyoming Street and North Main Storm Sewer Improvement Project
Meeting Date: March 21, 2022
BACKGROUND: The City of Kalispell has received sealed unit price bids for the Wyoming
Street and North Main Storm Sewer Improvement Project. The project will install a mechanical
water quality treatment device on an existing 24-inch storm sewer main. In addition to the storm
water treatment device, the project will include water main relocation, concrete curbing and
flatwork, pavement restoration, and signing and striping. The project will be funded in part with
Federal ARPA funds. The project was bid with an Additive Alternate for a storm water filter unit
to be constructed in series with the mechanical treatment device. Bid prices came in quite a bit
higher than estimated and staff recommends the Additive Alternate not be awarded at this time.
Bids were received on Thursday, March 10, 2022, at 2:00 PM. 2 responsive bids were received
from local contractors:
Contractor: Total Base Bid Price Total Base Bid + Add. Alt.
Sandry Construction $526,727.00 $856,115.00
LHC $622,411.39 $1,038,133.45
Engineer’s Estimate $362,884.25 $605,440.50
Sandry Construction has been determined to be a responsive and responsible contractor
successfully completing similar projects in Northwest Montana.
ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to award the Base Bid for the Wyoming Street and North Main
Storm Sewer Improvement Project to Sandry Construction for $526,727.00.
FISCAL EFFECTS: The total project construction cost will be funded as allocated in FY 22
budget including ARPA Funds (5720-410-430550-956), and Storm Fund line items (5349-453-
430247-954) / (5349-453-430247-956).
ALTERNATIVES: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
