FROM: Aaron McConkey, PE, Project Manager
CC: Susie Turner, PE, Director of Public Works, City Engineer
SUBJECT: Annual Sidewalk and Curbing Construction Project
MEETING: April 1, 2013
BACKGROUND: Each year, the City of Kalispell prepares a bid for the construction of
sidewalks and curbing throughout the city limits. The bid provides a contractual baseline for the
individual replacement of sidewalk and curbing using the City's 50/50 sidewalk replacement
program. Bids were received by two contractors, Sandon Construction Company Inc., and Knife
River Corporation. Comparison of bid unit prices was made by computing typical project costs
for the replacement of 300 linear feet (1 city block) and costs for the replacement of 50 linear
feet (1 typical lot). Costs of the larger project were scaled down 1/61h so they did not control the
analysis when costs for each scenario were totaled to determine the apparent low bidder. These
typical costs are summarized with the addition of last year's low bids, in the attached exhibit.
Sandon Construction Company Inc. is the low bidder in both scenarios. Bid prices have
increased by 5.3% from 2012 for Sandon Construction Company Inc.
ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to award the 2013 Sidewalk and Curbing Project to Sandon
Construction Company, Inc.
FISCAL EFFECTS: Potential expenditure of 50/50 sidewalk and curbing funds from the Gas
Tax Fund Totaling $42,931.
ALTERNATI S: As suggested and approved by the City Council.
