ITEM TITLE Resolution Accepting Bids and Awarding Contract for
Construction of "G" Street Relief Sewer
and Appropriating Funds ~
SUBMITTED BY Director of Public Works/City Engineer %~~
ITEM EXPLANATION (4/5TH'S VOTE REQUIRED YES X NO )
At 11:00 a.m. on June 1, 1978, in the Engineering Conference Room,
the Director of Public Works received sealed bids for the Construction
of "G" Street Relief Sewer between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue.
The scope of the project includes installation of approximately 1350
lineal feet of 12" sewer, construction of four manholes and con-
nection to two existing manholes.
Bids were received from four contractors as follows:
1. D. L. Muns Engineering & $ 62,782,88
Building Contractors
2. Christeve Corp. $ 79,200.00
3. Thibodo Const. Co., Inc. $ 99,881.20
4. Metro-Young Construction Co. $129,544.00
The low bid submitted by D. L. Muns Engineering & Building Contractors
exceeds the Engineer's estimate by $6,286.88. This low bid exceeds
the Engineer's estimate of $56,496 by ll.lo. This bid is also
$8,785.12 below the low bid of $71,568.00 previously rejected by
Council Resolution #9066 on April 4, 1978. We believe that the fol-
lowing facts attributed to the lower bid prices:
1. Permitting the contractor to close "G" Street to through traffic
for 25 consecutive working days.
2. Allowing the contractor to start construction anytime within a

60-day period after "Notice of Execution of Contract" rather
than the usual ten days. This affords the contractor a better
opportunity to schedule his work.
Although the low bid is above the engineer's estimate, we believe it
is acceptable for the following reasons:
1. Four bids were received for construction of this project. It
is doubtful that readvertising at a later date will result in
more bids or a reduction in cost.
2. The low bid represents a substantial saving in construction
cost over the previous bids received and rejected by the City
Council.
Financial Statement
In early 1977, it was estimated that construction cost for the work
being done by this contract would be approximately $48,000. However,
construction activity and costs have risen significantly in the last
year. Because of the increased costs it is necessary to appropriate
additional funds.
Unencumbered funds in "G" Street Relief Sewer, SI03 $ 55,200.00
Contract Amount $ 62,782.88

Total estimated construction costs $ 69,060.00
Additional funds required $ 13,860.00

balance of the Sewer Income Fund $ 13,860.00
(Note: The proposed 1978-79 Budget shows an
additional $12,000 for SI03. This will
not be needed.)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
1. City Council appropriate $13,860.00 from unappropriated balance
of Sewer Income Fund to Account 600-6000-SI03.
