Sealed bids were received and the Village Manager, Village Treasurer, and Village Clerk met at the Civic Center at 7800 Golden Valley Road at 11:00 A.M. on April 1, 1966, and have then and there publicly opened and read the bids received. The Consulting Engineers Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc., tabulated said bids and they were found to be as follows: i r1 • Barbarossa & Sons, Inc. Northern Contracting Company G -L. Contracting, Inc. McDonald-Luben & Associates, Inc. Orf ei & Sons, Inc. Nodland Construction Company, Inc. $ 468,140.00 560,461.05 585,989.00 614,431.00 623,439.95 639,495.00 1 J Mr. R. J. Huston, or Orr-Schelen-Mayeron & Associates, Inc., was present to review the bids with Council, and recommended that the award be made to Barbarossa & Sons, Inc. as the lowest responsible bidder in the amount of $468.140.00 MOVED by Teresi seconded by Schaphorst carried to award the bid to the low bidder, Barbarossa & Sons, Inc., in the amount of $468,140.00, upon recommendation of the consulting engineers, subject to participating municipalities approving said bid and construction funds from the Utility Reserve Fund. Member Garis voted "NO". All three members of the majority hereby expressed their reasons for voting "YES" as follows : 1. Minneapolis has been insisting for many months that this Inter- ceptor be constructed as promptly as possible. 2. There were six reputable and experienced contractors who bid on this project. The low bid was $468,140.00. The high bid was $639,495.00. The second low bid was $560,461.00. This was $92,321.00 above the low bidder. Regular Meeting of the Village Council, April 5, 1966 3. It is our firm opinion that rejecting all bids at this time and requesting new bids is very apt to result in a much heavier cost to our taxpayers for this project. With these facts before us, we question whether asking for new bids might be construed as speculating with taxpayers money. 4. The low bid is subject to similar approval from New Hope, St. Louis Park and Minneapolis who are paying for 64% of the cost of the entire project. Golden Valley's share is 350. Should any one of the three other municipalities reject the low bid, then rejection will be automatic. Member Garis stated the following reasons for voting against accepting any of the bids for sanitary sewer and appurtenant work bids opened April 1, 1966. 1. Low bid of $468,140 was approximately 64/41 higher than Orr-Schelen's estimate of $287,000. 2. Spread between next three lowest bids was approximately another 30%. 3. The difference of $181,000 between engineers estimate and low bid represents an extremely poor estimate or unusually high bids. 4. The spread from the low bid, $468,140, and the second highest of $560,461, or 15% indicates a substantial difference in contractors thinking. Therefore readvertising could result in a very substantial savings to Golden Valley. The chances for a lower bid far outweigh the possibility of a high one, especially if any confidence can be placed in the Orr-Schelen estimate. Award of Bids - Public Safety Building: The Village Manager presented the affidavit of publication in the official newspaper. Sealed bids were received and the Village Manager, Village Treasurer, Village Building Inspector and Village Clerk met with the architects at the Civic Center at 7800 Golden Valley Road at 3:00 P.M. on March 25, 1966, and have then and there publicly opened and read the bids and they were found to be as follows: L 45 fl 1 1 U) O a I 'O C3 N i a� m m \O C13 H N •r� 0 A rl H 1� c c r -I N N N r1 H N 11� IA o c�' N 4-3 CN c7 CO C('f 'C O \0 U Fa .� Iq A rI H N r1 i Cb 1 00 Com-- 01, 01\ O� �p IA O CX) \0 N r -I --7 M 1 rI •ri fv I o ci ci v ,Sa U U O � � Com - CC ri H N N N M IA lr\ 11 1 VLl- 1 O O N tLaC r4-3 H Q\ 17 r-1 H N CTJ 1 LCl M x `� C iN:)tLc r -i \O CC) O • �i v� C11 � G W� a co � O O F-4 r x S0 0S A 0 PH a TS -4 r- I � O a o >✓ a, m Q m (1) OP�1 ro O O 00 ca N CO .$1 HPC)111 I \0 QQ H C7 A H H U r� A H i � OU EJ N E-+ E� U U) N C 'I.3 � cif x cu •ri O H � °' c R 0 pq tJ fl 1 1 U) O O N i m 00 O c r�-I FA �D c 1� c c N N N r1 H N O IA o c�' 4-3 CN c7 CO C('f r -i O \0 .� Iq A rI H rI r1 i Cb 1 00 Com-- 01, 01\ O� �p IA O CX) \0 111 r -I � rI •ri fv o ci ci fl 1 1 O O N i 00 O r�-I O �D 1� N N N r1 H N O IA IA ---IO CN N CO [` r -i O \0 H Iq r-1 rI H rI r1 i Cb ri 00 Com-- 01, 01\ O� �p IA O CX) \0 111 r -I � o ci ci v ,Sa U U C C C) N N N 00 IA lr\ 11 1 VLl- 1 tLaC r{ CTJ x `� C iN:)tLc • �i v� C11 � G co � O O r♦ x A 0 PH a TS V] r- I a o >✓ a, m Q m (1) ro ca 0 .$1 fl 1 1 1 cu A O m cu A V1 C Q H M yHA-� N CO H A o O U s ON U H H W G cu A O m cu A oe Fi O N Cl) H O U N 011 10 M U sr O CO V1 C C M H N CO H A o Q s ON �O H O\ N G N 11 M r-'Ir,l co 'O •rl ,I C cli S✓ O +� C H r i r -i r -I H H r -I r- r -I FL, co .s:: 4-') O +� I O ,J O O O O O M O G IA O O rl C t I c1 OI G H C m mca I + + OO O O O O IA 110 V\ Go A 0 ON C\l M co U O r-1 �D �O IA N \0 \0 ll( \,D � 00 tLc� M co � \U O \ ON N M a\ O lf� CO IA O O O C � O O O O \O V, f OCrA LO CO � � N Nw \10 oe Fi O N Cl) H O U N 011 10 M U sr O CO V1 C C M H N CO H ri r1 s ON �O H O\ N G N N co 'O •rl C S✓ O +� C co 0 FL, co .s:: 4-') O +� I m G m C) C G C C G H C m mca k U f� A 0 oe Fi O N Cl) H O U N 011 10 M U sr O CO 47- M M N CO H ri r1 r( H G 'O •rl S✓ +� C co 0 FL, co 4-') I m m cti C C C G U H ai U tLc� Ea V) Q�p A a O O 47- O\ H N U �4 ro Q 1 O W v Ui 1 W C H I W .O • -1� N +; O U] H :Z, �D 1 W U] H H H U m W � H W m M .
