THROUGH: Paul Ostrander, City Manager
FROM: Michael Wesson — Acting Public Works Director
DATE: April 12, 2018
SUBJECT: Ordinance 3019-2018 — Ryan's Creek Outfall Repair Project
The purpose of this memo is to recommend adoption of an ordinance 3019-2018 appropriating
additional funds for this project and to enter into a contact with Foster Construction to perform the
work.
The bids for this project were recently received and came in higher than the estimate provided by
the Engineer for the project. The initial estimate was $72,370 and the lowest bid was $99,542
which is a difference of $27,172. 1 talked to the engineer at length about the bids and estimate
and why the unit prices came in higher than the estimate. After these discussions and
discussions with the contractors, it was determined the higher bids were due to the steep grades
and restricted site for access that were not considered in the engineer's estimate.
This project is nessessary because the current erosion is threatening to undermine Frontage
Road and I highly recommend adopting this ordinance. After several discussions with the project
engineer, I think the bid from Foster Construction is a fair bid.
Thank you for your consideration
