REPORT TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James C. Hansz, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Award Bid-2009 Sidewalk and Curbing Contract
MEETING DATE: May 18, 2009
BACKGROUND: Three bids were received for the 2009 sidewalk and curbing contract that is used for
replacements of sidewalks by residents and businesses participating in the 50/50 sidewalk program. In
order to properly analyze the bids, typical project costs were estimated for installation of 250 square feet
of residential sidewalk replacement, 250 SF of residential in -fill, and 250 SF of downtown business
frontage sidewalk. These are summarized in the attached bid analysis. The analysis shows that for typical
residential work done in the City (50/50 program records for the period 2005-2008 show that 92% of
work was residential), the bid submitted by Sandon Construction results in the most favorable price for
the largest number of Kalispell citizens utilizing this contract for their sidewalk replacement needs.
The recommendation is to award the bid to Sandon Construction.

Re: 2009 Sidewalk & Curbing i sis and Recommendation
This contract is designed to assist property owners wishing to replace or construct new infill sidewalks
adjacent to their property utilizing the 50150 cost sharing program. The 50/50 cost sharing program
was established by the City Council to encourage sidewalk replacement and infill by equally dividing
the cost between the City and the property owner. The City has $19,000 remaining in the current
budget for 50150 sidewalk work. A $35,000 appropriation is requested for the 2009/2010 fiscal year.

A review of performance during the period 2005 through 2008 indicates that 92% of the work
completed under this contract is residential type 50150 sidewalk replacement. Therefore, the bid
analysis is residential oriented. I recommend the bid for Sidewalk and Curbing Construction for the
Year ending December 31, 2009 be awarded to Sandon Construction Company Inc.
