MATERIAL STORAGE - SITE GRADING AND ACCESS ROAD
RECONSTRUCTION BIDS.
The City Manager reported that 3 bids were received for the site grading and access road at the
City of Mound/Minnetrista public works material storage site. They were all above the
engineer's estimate. The City Engineer reviewed the three bids comparing them to the estimate
and the feasibility report. He is recommending rejecting all the bids and readvertising this
project. The earliest new bid date would be September 8 for consideration by the Council on
September 14. He reported that this should still allow ample time to complete the site grading
this fall, weather permitting. He is recommending that the access road reconstruction
completion date be set for early next summer to allow more leeway in case of a wet fall and/or
early winter. The next proposed bid would be in 2 separate sections, i.e. 1) material storage
area, and 2)access road reconstruction, with different completion dates.
MOTION made by Smith, seconded by Jensen to reject all bids received for the
Mound/Minnetrista public works material storage site grading and access road
