Dear Carl ,
The bids on the above project were received on Friday, Fc:hruary 7, '
1975. There were 18 bidders, submitting bids varying from, a low
of $408,019 .40 to a high of $558,781 .25. Our estimate was
$475,000.00. i
The lowest b-id was submitted by Northdale Construction Company ,
Inc. We have not worked directly with this company but under-
stand that the City has had satisfactory results on projects
constructed by Northdale. There were some apparent errors in the
low bid w-hich will result in substantially lower paving costs
than had been anticipated . We discussed these points with i
Mr. Schany of Northdale Construction and he has indicated that
they will abide by the bid prices . We are therefore recommending
award of contract to Northdale.
The bid price is considerably lower than the costs estimated for
the hearings . Although we can not .yet guarantee the exact final
cost figures , it appears now that the lateral sewer and water
assessments will be decreased by 18% to 20%. If this figure
holds true to completion, the unit assessment could be reduced
by $700 to $800 per lot.
The typical assessment for the concrete curb and gutter, based on
bid prices , will be approximately $520 per lot.
Because of the questi on rai sed regardi rig the desi rabi 1 i ty of the
proposed watermai n on TH 101 from Lotus View Road -to Duck Lake
Trail , that cost has been separated from the remainder of the
project. It was originally estimated at $40 ,500 and is now Qi�17
estimated at $35,700. If this portion is deleted, the assessments U

for lateral water would be dropped from those properties abutting
the highway. The latest estimated assessments for water on this
project are $1 ,240 per undeveloped REC and $930 per developed
REC.
The project has benefitted by an extremely favorable bidding
climate, resulting in substantially reduced costs to the City.
Because of the favorable bids , we recomwend that the project be
awarded as bid, with no deletions .
Very r ly yours,
