REPORT TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: James C. Hansz, P.E., Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Bids for Annual Sidewalk and Curbing Construction
MEETING DATE: May 6, 2002
BACKGROUND: The City obtains bids each year for the construction of sidewalk and curbing
with the intent of facilitating the replacement of these items by residents and businesses. For the
current year bids were received from Bucholtz & Soteros and Sandon Construction. Bids are
submitted on a unit price basis for specific items of work. Attached is an analysis of the bids. The
bid from Sandon is the low bid. Based on discussions at earlier work sessions, Staff
recommends that this bid be used for new installations and replacements with a 50-50 cost share
with residents. This would effectively double the amount of sidewalk installed or replaced each
year.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends award of the bid for Annual Sidewalk and Curbing
Construction to Sandon Construction of Kalispell.
