Three bids were received for Fire Station No. 62, the fire substation to be built at the north end of the
City. Including Alternate #3, and excluding Alternates #1 and #2, the low bid from Martel
Construction is approximately $650.00 below the $2,322,650 budgeted for the construction portion
of the project. Staff is requesting the bid be awarded to Martel Construction for a low bid of
$2,322,000,
Kenyon moved the bid for Fire Station No. 62 be awarded to Martel Construction. The motion
was seconded.
Brodehl explained this was an extremely close bid and in order to stay within the budget Alternates
#1 (solid surface countertops) and #2 (contingency fund) were excluded. Brodehl stated with any
project this size a contingency fund is necessary so he will be looking at other places to cut and will
ask for a discussion in the future on hook-up fees. He said Alternate #3, which included ice melt
concrete surfaces, was deemed essential and is included in the bid.
The motion carried unanimously upon roll call vote.
