ATTN: Mr. Greg Forseth
RE: Lost Lake Dredge/Mound, Minnesota
Dear Mr. Greg Forseth,
On January 24, 2006 the City of Mound awarded Michael Scott Construction, Inc.
(MSC) the contract for dredge in Lost Lake.
MSC was notified of the award by Notice of Award on January 24, 2006. In
accordance with the notice you were given 10 days from the date of the notice to
provide the City with certain instruments including an executed contract and a
payment and performance bond. The last date for performance of that
requirement was February 3, 2006.
At a meeting held at the Mound City Hall on February 3, 2006 representatives of
MSC were specifically informed that the deadline for providing the instruments
was 4:30 p.m. on February 3, 2006; and that failure to meet the deadline would
result in a determination that MSC is in default, and a recommendation that the
council award the contract to the next lowest bidder.
The deadline was extended to February 6, 2006 in order to provide MSC with a
further opportunity to comply. Once again MSC was unable to meet that
deadline.
Representatives of MSC have repeatedly been informed of the time-sensitive
nature of the project. That information was provided at a pre-bid conference held
on December 21,2005 and was reinforced in the Addendum No. 1 to the
contract. At the meeting of January 24, 2006 your representatives were also
specifically informed of the need to comply with the timelines contained in the
Notice of Award so as to permit the project to proceed on a timely basis.
printed on recycled paper
For whatever reason, MSC has not been able to meet the clearly announced
deadlines; consequently, you are hereby notified that at a special meeting of the
Mound City Council at 8:00 a.m. on February 9, 2006 at the Mound City Hall, I
will ask the City Council to take the following actions:
Declare MSC in default of its obligations for failure to provide the
instruments required in the Notice of Award.
2. Direct me to seek all appropriate remedies under your bid bond and
at law.
3. Award the contract to the next lowest responsible bidder.
You are therefore informed that MSC has until 4:00 p.m. on February 8, 2006 to
deliver into my possession the executed contract, the payment and performance
bond and any other instruments required by the Notice of Award. By that time
and date, you will also need to provide the Public Works Director with evidence
that MSC is ready and able to immediately proceed with performance under the
contract.
Carlton Moore, the Public Works Director may be reached at (952) 472.0636.
Sinc rely,
