BACKGROUND/JUSTIFICATION:
The bid opening for the Lift Station No. 7 project was held Wednesday, June 5 at 2:OOPM, with no bids
being received.
City staff have reviewed the plans, specifications, and bid advertising webpages and there are no
obvious reasons for the lack of bids. City staff are aware of other projects in and around the metro
area that are receiving bids higher than anticipated and that has been attributed to the amount of
work that is out there and contractors being behind on projects this spring due to the weather.
Currently the substantial completion date is September 15, 2019, which requires complete installation
of the lift station, forcemain, watermain and appurtances. Only final grading, removal of the existing
temporary lift station and turf establishment would remain to be completed by November 1,2019. If
the project completion dates can be extended and the project is rebid it is staffs opinion that the City
would receive bids. City staff are in discussions with D.R. Horton regarding a revised timeline
considering they have not begun grading of Magnolia Landing at this time.
The engineer's estimated construction cost for this phase of construction was $203,423.00.
