REPORT TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James C. Hansz, P.E., Director of Public Works / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Bids for Sewer/Street Maintenance Building
MEETING DATE: May 19, 2003
BACKGROUND: The City has obtained bids for construction of a new vehicle and equipment storage
building to replace a decrepit existing structure at the City maintenance yard. The new building will
provide additional storage capacity over existing structures and combines needs of the Sewer Division
and Street Maintenance Divisions into a more cost effective single structure. A total of four bids were
received with the apparent low bid submitted by Synergy Builders, Inc. of Elliston, MT. Attached is an
analysis of the bids. The bid was structured with two alternates to provide flexibility. Staff recommends
award of the base bid and additive alternate #2 in order to provide maximum storage capacity while
remaining within the budgeted funds available.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends award of the Sewer/Street Maintenance Building bid to
Synergy Builders, Inc. of Elliston, MT based on their low bid of $136,468.00 for the base bid and additive
alternate #2.
