RE: I.C. 52-233, Traffic Control Signal System at T.H. 169/212 and Leona/Eden
Road
Dear Mayor and City Council Members:
On June 16, 1992 at 10:00 a.m. bids were received and opened for I.C. 52-233, the
Traffic Control Signal System at T.H. 169/212 and Leona/Eden Road. The results of
the bidding opening are as follows:
Contractor Bid Amount
Collins Electric, Inc. $111,987.00
• Egan-McKay Electrical $106,837.00
Killmer Electric $101,775.00
Ridgedale Electric $ 94,300.00
Engineer's Estimate $ 805,000.00
The low bid was received from Ridgedale Electric, Inc. for $94,300. This bid does not
include the signal cabinet and controller which will be purchased directly from the
supplier and Mn/DOT. The estimated cost for the cabinet and controller is $11,000.
The low bid, $94,300.00, is approximately 18 percent greater than the engineering
estimate. Based on discussions with the contractors, the higher bids can be attributed to
the additional labor and materials involved for the following:
Extensive conduit jacking under the roadway surface of T.H. 169/212.
Maintaining adequate traffic flows on T.H. 169/212 during construction and
conforming with limitations established by WDOT regarding lane closures.
Extra work during the construction period to avoid disturbing the extensive
system of underground utilities in the intersection area.
In our judgment the three preceding items do represent legitimate extra costs beyond
our cost estimate. Therefore, we have determined that the bids are reasonable and
acceptable, and we recommend that a contract be awarded.
City Council of Eden Prairie -2- June 16, 1992
• Based on the review of bids received, Benshoof&Associates recommends that the City
of Eden Prairie award Improvement Contract No. 52-233 to Ridgedale Electric, Inc.
for $94.300.00.
Sincerely,
BENSHOOF &ASSOCIATES, INC.
