The city's Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) contains the 2019 Sewer Service Lateral Pipe Rehabilitation Project SAN19-003 and 2019 Cured-In-Place Sewer Lining Project SAN19-006. On January 22, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution R2019-010 approving the plans and specifications, and authorizing bidding of the project.

In accordance with Minnesota Statute Section 471.347 Uniform Municipal Contracting Law, bids were solicited and opened on February 14, 2019. Four (4) bids were received and Musson Bros Inc., from Brookfield, Wisconsin, is the low bidder in the amount of $607,338.25 (see the attached resolution for the bid tabulation summary). The costs are consistent with past project costs and are under the CIP construction cost estimate for the project which was $620,000. Musson Bros, Inc., has the capacity and experience for the project and is deemed a responsible bidder. They are prepared to begin work in the spring with an anticipated substantial completion in November 2019.

The CIP identifies a total project budget of $700,000 for the 2019 Sewer Service Lateral Pipe Rehabilitation Project, and $80,000 for the 2019 CIPP Sewer Lining Projects for a combined total estimated project cost of $780,000. 

The total estimated project cost based on the low bid plus contingency ($32,000) and  engineering/administration/legal ($140,000)  are consistent with the total CIP project budget of $780,000. The contingency amount covers any unexpected change orders, quantity adjustments and other miscellaneous expenses encountered as part of the project.  

This project is proposed to be funded by the Sanitary Sewer Fund.
