Richardson, P.E., Director <br />Re: North Ironwood Drive Sidewalks <br />Gentlemen: <br />We have completed our examination of the bids for the subject project, <br />which were opened at your April 2, 1973 meeting. A tabulation of the <br />bids is enclosed. <br />Upon examination we have found the bid of McIntyre & Jones Construction <br />Co., Inc., to be the lowest and best of the two bids received. The <br />Engineer's Estimate and the two bids (totals) are as follows: <br />Engineer's Estimate $15,192.70 <br />McIntyre & Jones $18,947.50 <br />Rieth-Riley $23,986.50 <br />It is our opinion that the high unit prices bid for the sidewalk result <br />from the requirements for repair of lawns, and difficulties expected with <br />underground lawn sprinkling systems. Another factor which we believe has <br />affected the bid prices is the opposition of the property owners to the <br />project. The Contractors, no doubt, expect difficulty in satisfying the <br />property owners as to repair of lawns. <br />Should the bid of McIntyre & Jones Construction Co., Inc. be accepted, and <br />a contract be awarded, a revised Project Cost Estimate is as follows: <br />Construction $18,947.50 <br />Advertising 100.00 <br />Engineering 3,600.00 <br />Total $22,647.50 <br />Assessment (3110' @ $5.30) $16,483.00 <br />City Share <br />$ 6,164.50 <br />
