<br />~!=n <br /> <br />Kimley.Horn <br />and Associates, Inc, <br /> <br />Mr. Les Proper, PE <br />April 20, 2006 <br />Page 2 of 4 <br /> <br />All bids acknowledged the two (2) addenda that were prepared for the <br />proj ect. <br /> <br />A bid tabulation has been performed to verify the bids. Errors were <br />found in the bids ofW. W. Grading, Veit & Company, and Northwest <br />Asphalt; however, the errors did not change the low bidder. A copy of <br />the bid tabulation for the project is attached for your information. <br /> <br />The low base bid amount of$816,880.70 is approximately fifty percent <br />(50%) lower than the engineer's estimate of probable construction cost <br />of$I,650,000.00. The number and range ofthe project bids is <br />reflective of a very competitive bid environment. <br /> <br />The engineer's estimate was prepared based upon the best available <br />information at the time of final design. Soil borings were taken and a <br />geotechnical report was prepared to better understand the condition of <br />the soils on the site. From this information, estimates were made on <br />volumes of excavation. Costs were derived from previous projects of <br />similar magnitude and from construction costs from previous <br />construction seasons. <br /> <br />The plans and specifications included bid alternates for the disposal of <br />the existing 80,000 cubic yard soil stockpile on the project site. Four <br />different disposal options were bid as follows: <br /> <br />Option 1 Stockpile Disposal (<10 Miles) (LV) <br />This option included the off-site disposal of the stockpile at a location <br />identified by the City within 10 miles of the proj ect site. <br /> <br />Option 2 Stockpile Disposal (<I Mile) (LV) <br />This option included the off-site disposal of the stockpile at a location <br />identified by the City within 1 mile of the project site. <br /> <br />Option 3 Stockpile Disposal (On-Site ) (LV) <br />This option included the relocation of the stockpile to another area on <br />the project site as directed by the City. <br /> <br />Option 4 Stockpile Disposal (Contractor Site) (LV) <br />This option included the off-site disposal of the stockpile at a location <br />identified by the contractor. <br />
