Because of the need to complete the underground utilities before the start of the Downtown
reconstruction, the contractors all anticipated additional crews and overtime work to complete the
project within the thirty days allowed in the specifications; therefore, bids for the project are
considerably higher than the Engineer's Estimate. The bid price from the low bidder is reasonable
given the low spread among the bids ($22,000, less than six percent). Staff is recommending Council
award the project to Crutchfield Construction Company.
FUNDING: Requested Appropriations:
Project Total:
Bid Opening Date
Street Fund $ 47,000

The difference between the total and the contract amount allows for construction contingencies and
testing expense.
