C. Bid Award - 6th Ave WN Sewer ReplacementAugust 28, 1997
To: Clarence Krepps, City Manager
From: Jim Hansz, Director of Public orks
Subject: Sixth Alley WN sewer replacement
Attached is Fred's memo reviewing the bid opening this morning for this project. The low
bid was submitted by LHC at $82,607.00. I recommend award to LHC.
This project is presently budgeted at $80,000.00. At the time we prepared the budget this
amount appeared to be adequate to include all contingencies. Since then we have identified
additional costs of testing and a need for the services of PTI and Montana Power to provide
real-time disconnect and reconnect of utilities in the narrow work space of Sixth Alley WN.
We estimate these added costs will make the total project cost approximately $89,000.00
I have reviewed the budget and there is adequate replacement reserve to account for these
extra costs. I recommend funding from this source, if required. There are sewer several
capital projects that are not complete. If any of these projects require less than the original
budgeted amount then these extra funds would be used to supplement this project.
