The objective of the traffic circle is to reduce traffic speeds and volumes on <br /> Edward Street by placing an obstacle in the intersection. <br /> The temporary traffic circle was installed at this location in January 1999. Due to some <br /> miscommunication during the FY 2000-2001 budget preparations, no funds were allocated for <br /> making the temporary traffic circle permanent. <br /> The project plans and specifications were prepared by the Engineering Division staff. The <br /> project was advertised June 20, 2001, and bids were opened on July 9, 2001. The results for the <br /> letting are as follows: <br /> Compared to <br /> Engineer's Est. <br /> Bidder Bid Price Over(-Under) <br /> Engineer's Estimate $7,520.00 ----- <br /> Otto Baum Company, Inc. $8,292.00 10.27% <br /> Entler Excavating Co., Inc. $13,800.00 83.51% <br /> Mid-States General Mechanical $15,925.00 111.77% <br />
